    Agreed - totally love this group. I love that I can ask questions here that feel "wrong" anywhere else.

    I am reading Richard Feinman's "The World Turned Upside Down" now, and in Chapter 11 found this:

    "It is worth noting how well having level blood sugar makes me feel. When my blood sugar goes over 200 mg/dl, I start to feel melodramatic and have an elevated emotional response to even minor difficulties."

    This is so true of a lot of the people I know who struggle with weight loss!

    My DH, being type II diabetic had a glaringly obvious reaction to his sugar imbalance - he became physically aggressive. Not violent - he never hit me or injured me - but we had a few breakages round the house - and on 2 separate occasions, actually gripped me round the neck.

    That's hard for me to admit, but I understood all along, it wasn't "him" - and he would be the first to admit the different incidents scared the bejeezus out of him too.....he got help.

    Now? He's on the LCHF lifestyle, and you wouldn't believe the transformation. He's a different person, and so much more mellow and totally good-natured.

    Proof positive of the above quotation.

    Whew. That's pretty compelling testimony! Glad he flipped the keto switch.
