Depression

[Chad's Wife]

I am new to all of this . And know that I was suffering from a mild to moderate form of depression .
I however as of 7 days ago . Now feel quite a bit better ! I am a woman , 5 pregnancies , over weight , stressed . Do I need to go on ? LOL
I started Atkins a week ago today . And have lost 8lbs. which makes me feel better.
I wanted though to tell you all . That I have been taking One A Day vitamins for women , taking DHEA supplements (1 a day) and also taking enzyme infused probiotics to cleanse the gut area .
And just by taking the 3 and following the Atkins WOE . I feel so much BETTER . I have energy , I am happy most of the time . I do not feel as stressed as I was 7 days ago .
Can I pin point one specific ingredient ,that I believe to more important than the other ? No . but I know the enzyme infused probiotics helped to clean my system out so much so . That I quickly got over a nasal problem . While everyone else still is suffering from it .
I am not a doctor , and am only telling you what I believe that has helped me . I have NOT felt this good ... in lets say 6 years now ....

Re: Depression

Welcome Chad's Wife,

I can total agree with you on that! I am prone to depression and find it much more manageable when I'm on this WOL, and also when I am exercising.

I wish you much success with this WOL and let us know how you get on

Re: Depression

What are infused probiotics?

Re: Depression

probotics are bacteria naturally found in the gut that help ferment and break down food. I buy it for my horses ,I'm sure you can find it in a health food store or eating yogurt helps.

Re: Depression

I also get depressed in the cold dark winter...
I love to walk and inline skate...to me ...ice skating is not the same...
I like to get as far away from car as possible...an ice skating rink or ski place...i am still to close to carbs and car....
It is so hard to be depressed and not have the strength to help myself...
