Hi all:
I am curious if anyone here has any input on the post crapalta conversion to a paleo type diet.
A year ago I tried going paleo and, after the initial carb withdrawal, I felt pretty good. I was still however on the crapalta so my apathy allowed me to let it go by the wayside.
I have read a bit about serotonin and am starting to understand the tryptophan conversion but the more I read the more I understand my own picture. High carb diets make you feel good because your body can access the tryptophan but that leads to a blood sugar rollercoaster to gaining weight to feeling bad to eating carbs to "needing" SS/SNRIs. OY!
I feel like the last thing my family needs right now is for me to go through another type of withdrawal as I am just improving from the crapalta withdrawal but if it is the best thing I would do it.
As an added bonus I am looking at a lifelong battle with weight and am concerned with the hidden crapalta in my, ahem, " significant" fat stores. Carb withdrawal, fat burn release of SNRI another perfect storm?
Anyone with specific knowledge/experience?
Thanks
Lad
