Hard to believe a diet can do this
It's hard to believe a diet can make such a different in one's mental state. I underestimated the profound effect than unstable blood sugar can have on the mind, despite reading a multitude of health books and diet books the last 30 years. After the initial withdrawal symptoms, after three days on lots of non-starchy vegetables, beans, brown rice, nuts, berries, and seeds I find myself completely freed from food cravings and mental fog. And this is without quitting coffee or the occasional whisky. It is like my body clock moved back 10 years. It's a diet I can follow, as I ate this way for several years. And I can have hot sauce. It's a simple change really--instead of a large bag of tortilla chips I grab a bag of carrot chips. After the first few bites, I'm watching the TV show and I don't even realize I am eating carrots. And I saved myself 1200 calories and a wild swing in blood sugar. Yes, I was that bad.
