I'm still feeling very good eating less carbs. Maybe I'm just placeboing myself. But hey if it works it works. Maybe I should just keep finding things to placebo myself with. Ha

Unfortunately, I am another one who usually does not have a good appetite. Especially when I'm agitated buzzy which is usually a lot of the time. At least mildly. And I only ever feel like eating the stuff I can't eat as a vegan...cheese, meat, eggs.

And when my mood is crapping out I tend to binge on some version of fried potato. I know awesome right.

I lived through my mixed episode forcing myself to eat a toaster scramble a day (normally I would not be in the same room with a toaster scramble but dang are they good. I have a strong love of a lot of crap food. Which is funny because I am also mostly obsessively healthy. What can I say). Oh and sometimes. Handful of chicken nuggets on top of that.

But my point of the appetite thing is that I feel more level blood sugar wise when I eat little bits of more fatty things all day.

Like I mentioned previously, what I remember as my most depression and anxiety free time of life (although perhaps it was just a long hypo...but hey I could live with a stable hypo that never crashed...that's a dream) was when I gave up gluten cold turkey and embraced the whole traditional foods movement stuff. So at that time I went from eating a ton of grains and being mostly a low fat vegetarian to eating tons more vegetables, eggs, fat, animal protein, and much less grains. And I felt great for a long time and then gradually fell off the wagon until I was eating gluten and grains all the time again with crappy meat products and then I lost my ****.

That wasn't the last time I lost my **** but I can't keep typing right now ha. Cuz I know you want my food autobiography.

Anyway it is really interesting hearing everyone's experiences and ideas.
