Anything sweet and full of carbohydrates but I do try hard to avoid them as the huge swings in blood sugar they produce makes my highs and lows much more extreme, when I'm being good I go for hot soya milk with stevia to sweeten it (no sugar at all in stevia)

Twirls are the most awsome chocolate invention in the world:

Oh twirl you are so lovely,
Oh twirl you are devine,
You'll be my favourite goodie,
Until the end of time,
I never can resist you,
I can not walk on by,
I sometimes have to have two,
and sometimes four or five,
I love you in my belly,
You've stood the test of time,
and when I'm watching telly
You must be mine all mine!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I like Twirls too..... ;)

I go through happy food phases. Currently it's proper fruit cake, and cous cous with sundried tomatoes, bell peppers and beetroot. I could eat that until I puke. Trust me to have a snobby food phase, my last one was bran flakes, that was much cheaper!

I lived in America for 20 years and used to dream about Maltesers. Then I found an import store and was stupidly happy to pay £3 for a small roll of wine gums. I never did get to like American chocolate...though I do miss all the different kinds of M&Ms they have there.

I haven't really read through this thread probably...but in addition to fresh fruit, veg....fresh oily fish is excellent for mental health. Although you wouldn't know it looking at your average UK diet, fresh oily fish is considered an an essential component for human physiology. Taking fish oil tablets is a minimum requirement. Salmon is excellent.....tuna (not caned) and mackeral are also great, but dont eat to much mackeral or tuna and do not give to babies or pregnant women at all (not that you are likely to walk around handing mackeral to pregnant women), due to the potential of heavy metal toxins, such as mercury. Salmon is a safe bet.

Oily fish contain the essential fatty acids DHA and EPA, both are shown to play a role in good mental health and brain functioning, as well various other aspects of health. Supplementing a diet of healthy fish with white fish is also a good idea. Eat oily fish at least three times a week...and even more if you can.

Sorry for the advertisement....its my industry. I eat salmon about 5 times a week...and as you are all aware, I am the very picture of perfect mental health.  ::)
