True, I bloat a lot after so called bad foods...it is dissapointing because diet, self-control, willpower--whatever you want to call it-- is SOOOOO mental! At least for me, it is!
Gymgurl, I liked the 5HTP, it helped curb cravings, regulated my sleeping patterns, elevated mood...pretty much improved my overall well-being. It's the PRE-Cursor to Serotonin production, if I remember correctly. Now back to the protein issue...were you physically unable to eat the 200 gr's of protein, or what?
