Theory
The first thing you need to do is to study the theory.

For example, do you know, the tide of pleasure that you experience when you eat a bagel, a roll, a donut or a croissant is not a game of your imagination. Since the late 1970s, we know that in the stomach, gluten breaks down into a mixture of polypeptides that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Having penetrated, they contact the opiate receptors of the brain and cause a sense of pleasure. These are the same receptors with which opiates are bound to create a pleasant, albeit addictive, effect. The book "Food and the brain" and "Chinese research" will help you understand the correct approach to nutrition.Food
