Hi all,

During this last weeks my depression was coming back, despite my
minimal use of artificial light (which I thought was the main culprit
of my problems). Following the advise of "Lights off", I began to cut
back on carbs: no starches and only small quantities of milk and
yoghurt. I am consuming much more meat than before.

It is working. I feel my head going foggy after I drink a lot of milk
or yoghurt, or eat bread or potatoes. I feel no depressing effect
after eating meat, fish, eggs, cheese, olive oil.

There is a theory on the internet, according to which bipolars are
people adapted to the cold climate. Probably our ancestors ate meat
and fish products and much less carbs in winter .

In February, if I cannot keep my normal weight on this hight
fat/protein/low carb diet, I will reintroduce starches, but in
moderation.
