I shouldn't be feeling depressed and can't get the reason why.
Has anyone else started to feel depressed while on a diet and excersise program? |
It might be if you were consuming a lot of sugary foods, it could have that affect on you. It's like you go thru a withdrawl. This is just speaking from my own experience as sweets were always my downfall and when I cut them out, I do get a bit depressed at first.
Also the whole change may be affecting your chemical balance. A visit to the doctor couldn't hurt.....
