dchavy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hello, I am on day 25 and yesterday was, undoubtedly, the worst day in a long, long time. Very tired, overly emotional and overwhelmed - basically I was in full on meltdown for the first half of the day. I have been pretty low carb for the last couple of weeks so last night I added a sweet potato at dinner and a little extra fat. This morning I woke up very happy and feeling like I could take over the world. I have had tons of bubbly energy all day long with zero caffeine (typically I drink 1-3 cups of green or black tea). It feels as though the tiger blood switch has been flipped, and that's great, but the change was so quick and so drastic. Has anyone else had a similar experience when not taking in enough carbs? Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted September 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2014 My turnaround is not quite that dramatic, but I have noticed if I don't eat enough carbs I get moody and irritable and depressed, for sure. And even at a point where I was eating more fruit than usual, but not starchy veggies, I noticed my mood was lower than usual, so it's not carbs in general, it's specifically something about the starchy veggies.

dchavy Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Shannon, that's a great point about the starchy veg vs. fruit, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbetht Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 This gives me hope. I have not been sleeping well for at least a week, and I'm on Day 24. Haven't been eating enough starchy veg at dinner. That changes...NOW! I really want to finish strong (and get some sleep!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
