Diet and depression: what you eat impacts your mood

Almost any kind of INTENTIONALITY in eating will be better than eating “whatever I’m hungry for” in the moment. Caloric restriction (“eat less”) tends not to work long term. Restricting the kinds of food one eats tends to give better results long term, regardless of the specific foods one chooses to eliminate. Self-imposed rules for eating tend to reduce appetite and improve health overall.
