THE SAD SIDE OF LOW CARB DIETING

Recently, a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine stated that people who stuck to a low fat moderate carbohydrate diet for a year not only lost as much weight (30 pounds) as those on a low carb plan, but they also felt happier. The reason: “Too much fat and protein may reduce your levels of mood boosting serotonin, leaving people feeling depressed,” says lead study author Grant D. Brinkworth, Ph.D.
The Skinny according to Christine:
If you are feeling down for no apparent reason you should monitor your carbohydrate intake and do not dip below 130 grams per day. Ideally, Christine recommends a minimum of 200 grams per day and says that her clients continue to lose weight at that range.
