Does anyone here subscribe to a low carb or keto way of eating? I started this five weeks ago for overall health benefits. But last week I was hypomanic during PMS and then I got my period Sunday and it has been downhill since then. Today I am experiencing derealization, waves of depression and anxiety and I'm exhausted. I'm not sure if it's an emotional reaction to quitting sugar (I dream about desserts every night...lol) or nutrient deficiency (magnesium, omega 3s), or if the diet has messed with my hormonal balances and now my med doses are off.

My pdoc says she doesn't think it's the diet, but I'm not so sure, because I was well controlled on my meds before I started it. Does anyone have any experience on a low carb diet and was it positive or negative? I really don't want to give up on it because I feel so much healthier physically.
