The first two weeks were difficult - after that I felt a pronounced increase in energy and mental alertness. I am no longer cranky and miserable, and my once-famous bad temper has all but disappeared. All my symptoms return if I eat high carbohydrate foods in any quantity. I'm fine if I stay under 50 gms per day. Lynne
