Low-Carb Equals Depression


And fast eating makes you fat.  Two new studies out.

Harvard Health Letter says low-carb diets drop serotonin levels, which can make you sluggish and depressed.  So you might be losing weight, but you won't be happy about it!

And another study says that eating too fast generally leads to eating more calories, since the appetite flags take a little while to work.

Conclusion: eat whole-grain bread slowly?
