May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.

Coping skills are certainly and essential part of dealing with bipolar disorder, but they are far from enough for the majority of people with the illness.
I have my problems with this analogy, but consider diabetes.
