Ok, so that last post was negative, so I thought I'd write a short one about positive things about the PHD, so far-
1. Mental health. I kinda already said this in a couple posts but one weird symptom I got after about 6 weeks of low carb (net carbs < 60 daily) is a very noticeable increase in anxiety symptoms. This has vanished now. Great. No matter how I'm doing with being fat fat fatty, it's kinda hard to function when simple things like going to the theater freak you out. I'm even hopeful that the better nutritional profile will help in even the "non-weird" situations that I get nervous in, like flying.
2. HAIR. Lol wut? Yes- I have suddenly noticed an increase in the thickness and density of the hair on my super male pattern baldness head. No, I don't think I have discovered a magical cure for baldness. However, it appears that SOME of the thinning of my hair was shit nutrition. My huge bald spot is less huge and the hair on the center top of my head- getting dangerously close to comb over territory- has suddenly rebounded, and while not thick by any means, no longer looks embarrassing.
NICE.
So yeah, those are good things.
