What do I tell you to do, certainly it does not take fox juice for breakfast to understand that going on a diet causes depression . I believe you. Imagine opening your eyes on a Monday morning, the day typically scheduled to be the start of the diet, as if Monday wasn’t already depressing about her. Wake up early and you think: wow, now I get up, make myself a coffee and then I slobber that yummy low-fat yogurt with that teaspoon of flaxseed or that fantastic grapefruit juice to start the day with no more than a hundred calories. Who wouldn’t jump up? Who wouldn’t want this breakfast to start the day right away, and indeed, the week? Stuff to turn over on the other side of the bed.

Now a study by the University College of London also tells us : out of two thousand or almost people taken as a sample who had been on a diet, there was an increase in depression in over half of these in the following four years. Sure, lots of health benefits, but weight loss doesn’t equate to mood improvement – quite the opposite. It was thought that seeing or feeling thin made a difference, but it didn’t. If depression is one of the factors that pushes to eat more and gain weight, going on a diet on the contrary would trigger it in subjects initially in perfect psychological health . In short, it seems that food is closely linked to our mental health.
So what is the solution? We are looking for a healthier diet or lifestyle that does not force us to make enormous sacrifices, but that makes us discover new flavors, and not just sacrifices and stress.
