I have found giving up caffeine and "white foods" have made a huge huge difference. (Also, eating a big breakfast first thing in the morning is critical for me)
By "white foods" I mean all forms of sugar, white flour (replaced with whole grain), white rice (replaced with brown), quitting things like potato chips, etc.
I follow the program found in "Potatoes Not Prozac" (radiantrecovery.com) to change my diet as far as eating protein, whole grains, limiting fruit, etc.
It's very rare that I eat sugar but if I do, I am physically "sick" and emotionally unbalanced for a few days. I know when I have eaten some hidden sugars (Chinese food is often loaded with it) because I feel edgy, anxious and uncomfortable for a couple of days.
