Janet M.

I began suffering from depression in my mid 20s. This condition affected the path of my life as I was unable to function for months at a time. I was on antidepressants all through my 30s, trying cocktail after cocktail only to suffer terribly from side effects. Towards the end of my 30s I developed a gluten intolerance and tried to avoid gluten (with only moderate success!). I was completely addicted to sugar, gluten and carbs. I was also horribly addicted to sugar. My point is, my carb, gluten and sugar addiction was a long struggle. I read Grain Brain at the beginning of January 2015 and immediately implemented a low-carb, high-fat diet. Literally within about a week, I noticed a complete turnaround in my general energy level. The brain fog is completely gone.  I don’t know what is more astounding: the fact that I feel so awake and energetic, or the fact that I am no longer ruled by cravings for carbs and sugar. It is hard to keep my story to myself! I want to tell everyone I know – “STOP EATING CARBS!!” No carb tastes as good as being energetic and awake. -Janet M.
