low carb, not good for the mood...

For the past four years I have been on a low carb diet, and while I lost weight, I often had bouts of depression and anxiety. Now that I've been giving into the occasional whole grain carbohydrate I feel a lot happier and balanced. I'd rather be a size 9 and happy than a size 5 and depressed. it makes sense since Carbohydrates raise your serotonin levels.
