Vossie, thank you for the long reply, it's actually a lot of good info. The bit about blood sugar eased my mind a little since I mentioned I was fearing I might be developing diabetes or something in that vein!

OVerall, since I started allowing, even making myself, eat more it's been leading to crazy binging or eating constantly, like every half hour. I realize how broken my sense of hunger / fullness is, so I cannot rely on it anymore. Often I feel really full but have no energy or my mind's foggy; sometimes if I keep eating I get worse, but othertimes I actually end up feeling way better and the "fullness/bloatness" goes away if I keep eating.

So I literally dont know when to stop eating anymore. I just keep pummeling food until I force myself to stop and hope I'll be ok...

As for doing better on low-carb - my mood/energy was much "stabler" yes, but it was also very low, with no motivation to do anything productive. So I'm not sure I'd really call it a better choice :/
