Dr. W. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "fat and happy." Well, it's not just folklore. The same carbs that make you fat (and contribute to diabetes and other problems) also make you happy. It's simple science: Carbs allow more of the amino acid L-tryptophan to penetrate your brain. The L-tryptophan triggers your brain to make more serotonin, and the serotonin makes you feel happier. It's as simple as that!

t cut out carbs completely but ate a heck of a lot less than I usually do as I was getting a feeling for the diet. Anyway, I woke up this morning with a splitting headache that, while it has gone down in severity, is still very much there. I'm sticking to the vegetables and everything since I know you're supposed to get a small amount of carbs from them. But certainly not the same amount by any stretch as I have been in the past.
