My interview with Jimmy Moore

Fun interview.  I was pleasantly surprised when you mentioned the mental benefits you experienced once you starting eating "paleo."   Eating paleo did help me a ton with my physical well-being (body composition, digestion, etc.) but perhaps the biggest and most welcome change of all was its helping me get through a depression which was getting progressively worse, and which I was fighting against for many years.  My mood, too, was a slave to food: my depression was closely related to a drug-like carbohydrate addiction. (I would eat 2-3-4 bowls of all bran flakes with skim milk in one sitting to get out of feeling down for the brief moments I was gobbling the stuff down, with wheat-induced gut damage I'm still recovering with to boot--still have a bunch of sensitivities I didn't have before I went low-fat, whole grain etc.  And all this while being sadly convinced that I was eating healthy..)  Seeing as how I rather quickly (matter of days for marked improvent on the mental aspect--which plagued me, to emphasize, for YEARS!--a couple of weeks for body to adapt to digesting and running on fats) got out of that rut as soon as I started eating lots of good fat, animal protein, and cutting carbs, I can say with a good amount of confidence that eating low-fat, high-carb screwed both my physical and mental life immensely (to spare the details) and, conversely, eating habits inspired by evolution have made me feel amazing. Thanks again for the great interview. Again, the mental health benefits of a paleo regime seem a tad underemphasized, and I'm glad you mentioned them. CheersMark
