I started a diet early October. High protein, complex carbs, good fats. Cut out gluten, most sugar, most dairy, red meat. Man do I feel so much better. Mood is stable, energy is coming back, complexion cleared up, IBS went away. Hot damn. Some of the stuff I don't like eating *cough*cough*protein bars*cough*cough* but I know what I need to eat. My brain is working again. huzzah! Also I've lost 9 lbs so that's cool. I can fit in old clothes again. yaaaaay. On a typical day I have 2 protein shakes, yogurt, an apple, almonds, a protein bar, and for dinner I have tilapia or shrimp, quinoa, and a can of veggies. Usually 1-2 times a week I treat myself to a cold pressed juice, cause they're expensive, and I'm already spending too much money on protein powder haha.
Anyways, life is pretty good right now.

Congrats on the weight loss, lifestyle changes and feeling better.
 I feel better on a low-carb diet, very similar to the one you've described, too. I also "eat better" when my DH is away. I don't have to be concerned about his mood/appetite. (He tends to eat according to his mood and there can be far too many carbs in the house.) I'm glad life is going okay, even though your DH has been away for awhile now!  WC

I saw someone explaining the food pyramid and where things fit one time and he put ice cream outside of the pyramid, "because it's a medicine".
