I find that there is a natural rhythm to my day (not a shocking bolt out of
the blue discovery, I know) and eating paleo makes the low and slow point
*much* less low and slow.
Didn't you used to have this experience: you'd go to lunch, and come back to
work groggy and sleepy for two hours or so. With paleo eating (and really
with low carb when I was doing that) I don't feel so low and slow after
lunch.
I think depression has something to do with this, too. I feel natural cycles
over days and weeks, and I think paleo lifts the low and slow point in the
cycle. I really don't get depressed at all and like you I feel my stress
levels down, even in a period trough.
Recently I have been working with Eckhart Tolle's book, The Power of Now,
and this is resulting in tremendous changes in my experience through life.
Paleo eating seems intuitively even more right.
