Yep! I know exactly why you are feeling depressed. You aren't eating enough fat. From what I see in your diary you are doing low carb high protein. It should be low carb high fat moderate protein. I know this because that is exactly how I used to eat and had a pretty bad bout of depression. Honestly, no one told me to up my fat. It just happened that at the same time this was going on I had just added a new friend to my MFP list and she was doing it the correct way. I nearly copied her diary everyday just to see if my weight would start melting off like hers. To my surprise my depression simply went away as well! I started looking up why that might be and it turns out that our brains love fat!

Google some research. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised too well...and your food will be so much tastier with added yummy fat!

Just one idea, sometimes we eat lots of carbs to swallow whatever sorrows we suffer from---when you stop comfort eating those emotions show up and demand attention......this may not apply to you, but it does for a lot of emotional eaters [who mostly eat carbs].

How can you deal with those blues---face your problems and find a way [art, music, therapy, exercise, writing] to deal with them.

Good luck!

I also think you should eat more fat! And I don't know how the weather is there, but you could also try vitamin D and/or omega 3. But I would start with eating a lot more fat

I definitely agree with upping your fats. I think you should be upping them quite a bit. My ratios are generally 5-10% carbs, 20% protein and 70-75% fat.

I agree with the "increasing the fats" assessment and I will add this...as your body loses fat, the things stored in the fat are also released which can bring about some hormone fluctuations until your body gets used to using fat as fuel ( i.e. Aunt Flo may come unexpectedly along with all of her baggage).
