    I found this topic very interesting and am passing it along to my sister. She suffers from depression and I think it would be good for her to try. Thanks everyone for the input!!

    I do low carbs and have never found it to be true. I've done low carb for well over a year.

    I find the prospect of a low carb diet to be depressing but I guess that's not the same thing. :-)

    OP, you've got it the wrong way around. But whatever. I'm guessing that your mind was made up before you asked the question.

    Wait, you mean it should be does depression really cause low carbs? That makes so much more sense.

    It's true. But worse, it causes an increase in blood sugar. Not at all a good way to eat.



    Why would you think that? A diabetic diet is pretty much identical to South Beach. Diabetic diets are carb restricted,
