Lately I've noticed a drastic uptick in my DMing as I've shifted to a diet made mostly of pre-packaged food. This has happened before only, I've just recently realized it. I wonder if the poor eating and daydreaming are both symptoms of general dissatisfaction, or if my food choices have affected my DM adiction.

Anyone else notice a change in daydreaming frequency with dietary changes?

I think its more to do with underlying emotions than it is the other way around. For example, I generally eat healthy, but when I go through moments of feeling super bored or unmotivated with life or mopy (usually around that time of the month) I will eat more junky food and fast food. This is also when I am most likely to endulge in MDing more (i.e won't avoid my triggers and will stay home so I can be uninterupted).  So I think its feelings not the food.

Hmmm... although, I notice if I eat a lot of sugar, I'll MD more during a sugar high. But that is also if I'm by myself (I like to play music in my room and hop around).

Our hair, skin, bones, organs, muscles, finger nails, toe nails and body fat is built by what we eat. Did I leave anything out? What we eat can have a direct impact on how much energy we have and on our mood. Our brain uses more energy than any other organ and accounts for about 20 percent of our total energy haul.

Not getting proper nutrients is going to have a direct impact on brain function. When you are mentally fatigued, you are more likely to comfort yourself using familiar coping mechanism. When running low on energy, you are more likely to give in to temptations.

The content of what we consume can affect how we think and how we feel. Pills are consumed by millions of people to change thought patterns and brain function.

The chemicals in processed food are not there to help you overcome depression or anxiety though. The chemicals in processed food are primarily there to make the contents last longer on the shelf, look more appealing and mask the actual taste of the food; to make it taste like something that you would actually want to eat.  I think more and more these days food scientist are adding chemicals to make products hyper-palatable too (addictive).

So, the scientist working for the food companies feel they can affect how you think with the content of the processed food.

Yeah, I think not getting proper nutrients can directly contribute to excessive daydreaming. I think it is a contributing factor and not necessarily the primary cause.
