WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS: FOOD AND DEPRESSION
We are what we eat—during World War II people were physically healthier when sugar and fats were in short supply. It may be that sugar is an even worse offender than fat. The Eskimos who lived on large quantities of animal fat did not suffer coronary artery disease until they introduced sugar into their diet. American research suggests that more people die from cirrhosis of the liver through over-indulgence in sugar, than from high alcohol intake.
Cut down on or give up sugar, all sugar products, and anything made with white flour.
Food allergies can cause or deepen depression. A diet of boiled brown rice and spring water for a few days has helped many people discover what foods they are allergic to. They can introduce one food at a time until they find out what is upsetting them. This diet also gives the liver and kidneys a rest, and enables the body to get rid of toxins.
You can be fat and yet still be undernourished. A healthy diet is essential in depressive illness.
You may still feel very negative, and feel that your efforts are in vain, but others may have noticed encouraging little signs in you.
