I realized today that I hadn’t mention this here on the blog yet, and I wanted to make sure it’s here for anyone who is thinking about giving it a shot.
The first couple weeks I was doing Slow-Carb, I suffered from some mild depression. From what I can tell, my body was basically in a bit of shock from the drastic change in diet, and it caused my brain to be unhappy. I’ve never been too predisposed to depression, but I was aware enough to recognize it and suspect the diet as the culprit. So I Googled and found other people who had experienced the same thing, and they all said it was very temporary. Knowing the cause and that it was temporary, I was able to battle through it.
For someone who has depressive tendencies, I assume it would be more severe than it was for me, but I think it would be just as temporary. Just be aware of it, know what is causing it, and know that it will go away. (And that it’s worth battling through.)
