Does anyone experience shortness of temper when they exercise alot and restrict calories? This is what I am finding is happening to me over the past few weeks. I am just putting it down to over doing the exercise a bit. I am eating about 1600-1700 calories a day and burning off about 200-300 per day. I had one day's rest from exercise this week.

    "Thus, it's not just a matter of will power or mind over matter; the brain is in control and sends out signals to eat carbohydrates. According to Wurtman's clinical studies, if the carbohydrate craver eats protein instead, he or she will become grumpy, irritable or restless. "
