#1 reason fad diets are bad, survey says. . .

Some neurotransmitters become more or less active depending on dietary intake. Either overconsuming or dramatically restricting a particular food, such as fats or carbohydrates, can trigger imbalances in neurotransmitters that can contribute to depression, irritability, food cravings, mood swings, and thinking problems.

I'm not feeling as in over my head with this book now. But I am rereading what I read two nights ago. This is going to take a lot of effort, hard work, focus and dedication. But I must follow my own advice that anything that really matters usually is a lot of hard work. I'm happy to accept that if the result is a healthy life which can be enjoyed to its fullest.
