Hi. Reading through other posts I know that a lot of this has been asked before, but I need reassurance.
I'm a male who weighs around 250lbs. I've always overeaten, and recently tried to loose some weight by cutting back on the amount I ate. I was fine for about 2 days, and then suddenly all hell seemed to break loose on my body and mind. I suddenly, (from being a very stable, normal person,) became incredibly depressed, tearful and full of panic to the point where I honestly felt like I was having a nervous breakdown. Eating large amounts of carby food gets me back in a normal place pretty quickly, but I don't ant to have to do that.
My blood sugar always stays within normal ranges, but although I never took a test when I was over eating, it must have been high most of the time. I just want to feel normal again, but also to become healthy too.
I have tried to cut out all the carbs and only eat fats, but it was unbearable. Hunger pangs I can cope with, but I turned into a complete monster with anger, depression and panic. I have no started to eat small, regular meals but I am having some brown rice in the meals. Is it okay to do this? I don't think I can go completely carb free yet, so is it okay to slowly taper by having some wholegrains on top of fat and veggies?
Even though I've always overeaten, I also love exercise, but even light exercise now leads me into a hypo. How can I get over all this? Thanks for your help.
