depression caused by stopping the Zone?
I am a 25-year-old woman. I started the Zone diet at the beginning of
December 2003 and followed it for two months. After successfully losing twelve pounds (I was hoping to lose about 10 pounds), I stopped the diet at the beginning of February. Since then I have had horrible PMS for two cycles. I never experienced PMS symptoms (both physical and emotional) to this extent before I went on the diet. I am also wondering if I may be slightly depressed in general. Has anyone else had problems when stopping the Zone? I should note that I am hypothyroid, although my TSH levels have been successfully maintained for the past 5 years. |

depression caused by stopping the Zone?
Did this Zone diet include not consuming wheat, barley and rye based
products? Or perhaps significantly reducing them? If so: Gluten intolerance is more common for people with thyroid disorders, and going off gluten for a period of time, followed by resumption of previous levels of gluten intake causes hypersensitivity like reaction. The longer one is gluten-free, the worse the reaction. "heather" wrote in message om... I am a 25-year-old woman.

depression caused by stopping the Zone?
I'm not aware that many people here are doing it. What most people here seem to realize is that maintaining proper weight requires a lifelong program of exercise and healthy eating. heather wrote: I am a 25-year-old woman.

Tryptophan and niacin are serotonin precursors. They get converted into serotonin in the body. But in the absense of the b vitamins and folate, the body is unable to convert them to serotonin. Thus you become depleted of serotonin. I've heard sunflower seeds are good against depression. |
