An Essential Amino Acid

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid which means it is not produced by the body but rather must come strictly from the diet. There are eight essential amino acids and fourteen non-essential amino acids. The non-essential acids can be made inside the body from other components. Dietary sources of tryptophan include turkey and other meats, soy products, cottage cheese, milk, brown rice and peanuts.

In the brain, tryptophan converts to serotonin, the neuro-transmitter responsible for feelings of well-being, calmness, personal security, relaxation, confidence and concentration. Decreased serotonin levels play a key role in the development of depression. The only source for serotonin in the brain is tryptophan. It cannot be converted from any other substance. If there is not enough tryptophan in the diet, it can lead to anxiety and depression.

Depleted serotonin levels are responsible for depression and other psychological disturbances, such as anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, low concentration and low self-esteem. This is what has increasingly become known as the Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome.

Dude!!! I just figured out Paleo! Like for real figured it out!! You have to eat meat! And if you don't that's probably when you are in your "I hate crossfit mood" and want to quit in the middle of every wod you do, continue to ask yourself why you've been at the same weight for months...bench press, power clean, etc...
But then if you don't eat Paleo, you're setting yourself up to have too much tryptohpan and you're gonna feel like shit! I also read that if you eat sugar, your serotonin increases which will cause a rise and fall in blood sugar (which we already know) but a rise in serotonin gives you that energy for the day...however too much serotonin gives you insomnia.
My recommendation is that if you are on Paleo and don't eat meat for a couple of days then supplement the meat with Prozac!
