Yeah, my endo insisted I give up carbs for most of the time and stick to proteins, veggies, occassional fruits and nuts. I can have 1 cheat day every 2 weeks, and this has to be for the rest of my life b/c of the PCOS, insulin resistance and all. I will be honest, a lot of the time I get off track. I started 5 weeks ago--was good the first 2 weeks and had 2 cheat days, one each week. I noticed that my mood was much improved, but wasn't sure why. Then life happened (job, house), and I started having carbs 1x a day (or sometimes 2x) (though still a vast improvement over my normal 4-5 x a day). I'm back on track again this week. And my mood is still much improved. And I saw this and thought hey, it must be the diet! I didn't do anything else different, I'm not on anti-depressents or anything, I don't have a boyfriend and haven't met anyone new that would spark my improved mood, so I think it is the diet. |
