Hi everyone

im just about to embark on my first ever low carb diet.

im a 27year old female 5'2 and weigh 169lbs.

cutting a very long story short.
i have in the years gone by suffered from anxiety and panic disorder, coupled with servere hyperglycemia.

i have won my battle with the anxiety in the sense that i have now learnt to control the symptoms and lead a full happy life.
However for a long time i have wondered why i suddenly was struck with this condition, i had a nervous breakdown but hand on heart i can say i wasnt depressed ... depression followed because of my frustration at the anxiety and panic disorder hitting me out of the blue.

Because i have now suffered for 4 years ive been able to take a logical approach which has helped in overcoming the worse of it.
But i have noticed that hormonal factors and food play a huge part in my symptoms.
and this has lead me to learn that hyperglycemia can mimic and sometimes even aggravate panic disorder.

lately ive been wondering whether a complete overhaul of my diet and lifestyle but just be the key that unlocks the mystery of my sudden decline.
as a teenager i was active in sports i was gymnast for many years and rarely went above a uksize 10 now at 27 im a uksize 18 and now looking at things my decline arrived around the time of my weight gain.

Can a sensitivity to food be a reason for decline in mental health??

im hoping that some pro members here can help me with the question ... is a low carb diet beneficial for hyperglycemia?
the last thing i would want to do is aggravate my already exsiting condition.

i was thinking a hardcore atkins diet would be the right thing to do ... as the typical weightloss is tempting =)
however would anyone advice for or against with my thinking of maybe going for a relativley low carb diet initially.


my diet is currently awful considering the hyperglycemia.
im talking coke crisps chocolate very irratic meal routines sometime none at all.
i will go 14 hours with out eating hit a slump and binge. =(
so could a extreme low carb cause more harm than good.


thank you for taking the time to read
