Blackjack, low carbs diets affect me this way as well. I hope that some of the nutrition experts like Michael will offer a clearer answer, but I know for myself that I am more compliant with, and therefore more successful with, a moderate carb diet, say a 40/30/30 or a 50/30/20 (carb, protein, fat). I just feel better.
So many people talk about how successful they are on a low carb diet. Every time it comes up I'll think maybe I should give that a try again. But if I do, I re-learn that it is just not what is right for ME.
