Willpower suprisingly is influenced a lot by your level of serotonin. In my new book, The Feel Good Diet --The Weight-Loss Plan That Boosts Serotonin, Improves Your Mood,and Keeps the Pounds Off for Good I explain that the Mayo Clinic found that 40% of dieters quit within the first month, and two-thirds never made it past three months of dieting.
The reason why is that most diets nowadays like the Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet
When you increase your serotonin by following The Feel Good Diet, then you never lose your willpower. I found that CraniYums candy lozenges are a good way to increase serotonin without increasing calories. They taste great too.

Welcome to Serotonin Secrets
Welcome to Serotonin Secrets. You will learn about how important this "brain hormone" or neurotransmitter is to your health and well being. Find out the latest information regarding increasing your serotonin naturally, without medication.
The right amount of serotonin helps you feel calm and secure. While both men and women suffer from low serotonin, in general women are the most "serotonin challenged". As a physician, I noticed that when my patients were on a weight loss diet that they also showed the signs of serotonin deficiency.
In my book The Insulin Resistance Diet, I listed many of the symptoms of low serotonin:
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Anger easily
- Restlessness
- Difficulty feeling full from eating
- Cravings for bread, bagels, and pasta
- Premenstrual symptoms of mood and appetite changes
The good news is that a product called CraniYums can restore and even improve your levels of serotonin and a companion "brain hormone" or neurotransmitter called dopamine.
