High on chocolate?
I've read countless posts and blogs about different experiences with good raw chocolate, and the "high" that goes with it, due in part to good quality tryptophan.
now, I've eaten my fair share of raw chocolate and have supplemented with decent amounts of the tryptophan in the past, and still have YET to get any type of high off of cacao.
the brands perhaps? Or is it more of a personal thing? Because when I'm eating raw chocolate, the only thing that happens to me, is either me wanting to eat more, or go fall asleep in the shade somewhere.

Ohhh I definitely get a major high - I turn into the energizer bunny big time - last friday night I was up until 6 am because I had choco pudding after work...I worked as a chocolate pusher at the New life Expo in June and I was wired the whole weekend. fall asleep in the shade?? really, you don't even get a little energy?? For me its definitely a "steady" energy - not a crash and burn sugar kind

If I have a green drink or wheatgrass THAT'S a whole different story, i'll be wigging like mad. But chocolate doesn't go shit to me.

the only legal high i've ever gotten was from extremely sleep deprivation in excess of 4 days, hah.

I went 6 days with no sleep back in high school and ended up going to school with a bathing suit top on and eventually passing out in the bathroom after talking to a squirrel. good times.

due in part to good quality tryptophan
It does have a little to do with tryptophan, this is true, however it also has alot to do with theobromine (and the adrenaline/cortisol levels that come with it) which is a caffiene-like stimulant which kicks your heart, liver, adrenals and nervous system into action, as it says "ahhh poison, lets get it out as soon as possible"....
It will deplete your energy levels and adrenal function in the long term.
If you really dont react to cacao, its probably a sign not to take it, as your adrenals are likely already over-stimulated. Most people, react to cacao pretty strongly, even if theyre cortisol junkies. Those who arent, react even stronger, and it isnt a high, but more like an anxious/frenetic sensation which isnt pleasant.
Increased appetite comes about because cortisol inbalances blood sugar levels, since it increases requirement for sugar and vitamin C to support the adrenal glands recovery. Falling asleep comes from adrenal exhaustion.

Ugly Betty is so funny and goofy! lol I love it, it's entertaining! For a Halloween party I would love to dress up all my friends as the cast.
Unfortunately, my dogs were microchipped before I got them. I haven't decided what to do about it yet. Really don't want them to have surgery to take them out.
Awesome!
That's always a good thing. :)
