More About Low-Carb and Mood

After last week's report on diet and mood there have been lots of great comments about how low-carb eating has affected people's moods. A really great one came from Dr. Richard Feinman, a researcher in the field. He writes, "I have been following a low carb diet for many years and was in a good mood until I read this paper." He goes on to tell of a study that he and his colleagues did several years ago, where 70% of the people on a low-carb forum who filled out a questionnaire reported improved mood since changing their diets. Even allowing for the fact that people who have a good response to low-carb eating are most likely to be hanging out on a low-carb forum, that is an impressive result!
