Hi Jenn! Hope you enjoyed your trip, anyway. I'm sure jet lag and stress were contributors, too.
But to answer your question, <b>yes</b>, I've noticed my mood decline badly when I'm 'cheating,' and it can be very swift and drastic. I had a lot of chocolate and junk food on Friday and Saturday, and by Saturday night when I'd normally be enjoying myself at the club we go to, I was miserable. Actually, I was angry. Angry and paranoid, for no reason. I wanted to punch a hole in the wall. I can almost understand now why a lot of people get themselves in trouble because of their anger.
And no, it's not PMS.
I don't know of any studies to back it up, but IIRC, carbs greatly affect serontonin levels and mood.
