Synopsis

An eating programme supported by MIND, the mental health charity, to put a smile on your face.

When MIND, the mental health charity, helped to launch The Food and Mood Project the media went straight to Amanda Geary, the Project’s Originator and a nutritionist herself. The Mind Meal was launched and this handbook will be invaluable to everyone who has suffered from mood swings, food cravings, any form of eating disorder, hypoglycaemia, or PMS.

The book also introduces many key issues and gives practical self-help advice:
- sugar sensitivity
- the caffeine effect
- stressors on your system
- supplements
- low GI foods
- allergy culprits (wheat/milk)
with recipes and tips from project participants.

From the Author:

This is the book I wish I'd had 10 year's ago when my doctor diagnosed depression and presribed me antidepressant medication. Instead, I've written it myself and the book's content reflects my personal journey as well as the private study and professional experience of the past decade. I sincerely hope you find it helpful.Here, you will also be able to join the free email food and mood support group and share your thoughts and experiences with others who have read the book.

Eat well!
