Why do most diets make people feel low energy or depressed?
Most diets are deprivation-based and cause chemical changes in the brain that lead the dieter to feel depressed. The typical plan is often too low in calories to fuel a day’s worth of energy for an adult looking to lead a quality life. A common result is lethargy and moodiness in all the wrong ways. The dieter is impelled to eat high-fat, high-sugar foods to ward off the blues – which is a natural response to this type of “brain-starving” diet.
