Depression for years, following the mood cure.. will this work and how long will it be?

[nicholeb0912]

\r\n \r\n I forgot to say, I am not eating the way I should be. Lots of sweets and junk, and wheat which I am sensitive to.
\n
\nI was following the primal diet for 2 weeks and felt great but fell off track due to my depression. It would probably help to get back to it.. Gotta shake the blahs..\r\n

Hello.
\r\n
\r\nI had on and off depression for close to 40 years.
\r\n
\r\nI accidentally discovered it was as simple as a lack of Omega 3 fatty acids. Krill oil alone resolved it.
\r\n
\r\nThere are multiple possible reasons for depression, and my cure may not be yours but it sure is worth a try.
\r\n
\r\nGood luck.

\r\n \r\n Nicole,
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nSorry to hear about your depression. I can\'t not comment on the supplements you are taking since I have never used them.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nBut, what I can comment on is your diet.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nDiet is extremely crucial not only to your health, but also to your mood.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nI figured this out firsthand when I transfered over to a "raw food" diet.*
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nWhen you get away from junk/processed foods and meat. Your body runs more efficiently.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nYou have more energy and you feel better overall.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nNow, I know the thought of giving up all the foods you love sounds terrifying.*
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nSo, what I would say is give it your best shot at giving up all the junk/processed foods for 30 days and replace them with fruits, veggies, b-12 supplement (I like Jarrows chewables), and a good food based multi-vitamin.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nIf at any time you feel like you need junk food or a piece of meat, just limit the portion if you can.*
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nDo not quit everything cold turky and do not feel bad if you can\'t fight the urge of wanting some junk food or meat.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nIt took me years to fight those urges and I felt like a yo-yo, but the improvement in my mood and health was worth fighting for.*
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nBy eating more raw (uncooked ) fruits and veggies you should notice a big improvement in your mood in only a few days.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nIf you got any questions just ask.*
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nPat\r\n
