I did read some articles about researching showing that people who limited their carbs were more irritable and moody. It seems that carbohydrates are involved in serotonin synthesis or something.
I woke up today feeling better so maybe it was the low carbs making me depressed. I ate a lot of carbs today, but tomorrow I am going back on low carb. I find it is easier to limit calories and eat less on low carb.
So, I will continue with the experiment.
I'm eating a lot of fish now, good brain food.
