    So, after googling a while I remembered back to about four years ago when I, for a performance art piece, only ate bread and drank water for three weeks.
    I remember being very stabile in mood, not happy-happy, but not said either.
    So this has lead me to decide to try, for at least one week, to cut out sugar more or less completely. I can't remove all sugar, don't think it would be healthy either, but will no longer have sugar in coffee, eat candy, no soda, etc.

    Hope you will stay with me as I will post updates here.
    Love from Anr, Norway

    Does anyone here have experience with this? Any helpful tips and hints?
    Should I look into carbs as well?

    Habit is a hell of an addiction... Ended up drinking two cups of coffee with plenty of sugar, a red bull and a candy bar without "realizing it"... Besides, hard for a depressed person to give up that regular boost...
    Have to try harder tomorrow!

    This reminds me of a study where they had people eat 6-12 peices of bread a day before deciding to eat anything else. It tended to make people a lot less hungry over time and it actually changed the way some of them felt.

    That's amazing. That reminds me of my interest in the primitivist lifestyle...

    I ate a lot of chocolate or candy.

    I could eat two 200 gram bars - that is is 200 grams of sugar!

    Since stopping that - cutting out completely any chocolate - I wish I was dead!!!!

    Actually, I lie - I feel a bit better for sure.

    Thank you. I should mention that that particular quote is from the Unabomber... But there are many other writers about the subject who never killed anyone. PM me for more info, I have a blog about the subject too. Sometimes it's the only thing that helps me out of a depression bout.
