Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / November 2003For those of you who have lost a bunch of weight...
have you found you thinking to be sharper? I don't really mean less fatigued; but able to remember or comprehend more? Thanks! ~dan >have you found you thinking to be sharper? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >~dan Yes. ~Kat "I think I would like to call myself 'the girl who wanted to be God'.

SignatureStephen S. 331/301/220 <- as of 19 Nov. 03 LC since 28 Sept. 03 -------------------------------- > have you found you thinking to be sharper? Nope. Just as scattered as ever. My blood pressure goes up and down, but in general I think I feel better after low carbing for a few days than I do when I've been carbing for a little while. People whose previous diet caused a lot of blood sugar swings would feel mentally sharper after following a low carb plan. Low blood sugar can cause a person to be drowsy and mentally fuzzy. Look up the symptoms of hypoglycemia.

No. But low-carbing put an end to after-lunch drowsies. My husband and I are also the only ones at Thanksgiving gatherings who aren't nearly comatose after Thanksgiving dinner. Clearly, the touted tryptophane in turkey is not the culprit, it's the carb load. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." Actually, after three years of low carbing and the slow onset of a low blood sugar problem I found my mental acuity decreased to the point where I failed a piece of the Alzheimer's sceening test. Fortunately that test was combined with a blood sugar test that showed a low blood sugar and the doctor assured me that low blood sugar could cause the same kind of cognitive problem. I'd been noticing that I was having a lot of trouble finding words--which was significant as I'm a professional writer. When I stopped low carbing for a year my verbal/mental acuity returned--which was particularly noticeable in my writing. Words and images came much faster and the quality of the writing improved. Now I'm careful to avoid creating low blood sugars so my mental functioning is still fine. -- Jenny Cut the carbs to respond to my new email address!

Same here, I no longer struggle to stay awake in the afternoons at work or during boring meetings. So it's not entirely a good thing! -- Lexin www.redrosepress.co.uk www.livejournal.com/~lexin LC since 9 June 2003 (300/247/182) > have you found you thinking to be sharper? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > ~dan Absolutely. I'm a programmer. All my work is very intensively mental in nature. My performance went up significantly.
