Hi all, since the depression/fatigue set in I've been pigging out on ice cream and , yes AND cake! Ugh. My husband bakes great cakes when he's depressed and his sister with Alz has put him in a worry (he's the oldest brother and will take care of her if she needs him!!), so I've been helping him eat it!! Now, I have swollen hands and feet? Connection? who knows? LyndaI firmly believe there's a connection between carbs and inflammation. I've been off my low carb/fat diet for the last 4 days and I've developed pain and inflammation in my ankle, wrist, fingers and back. I'm now back on my diet and will let you know how I feel in a couple of days.I limit the carbs and sugar as much as I can. I feel tons better without it.Check to see if you have a an ice cream place there called Rosie delites. One just opened here and the ice cream is only 10 cals per oz! It's really good too! I have lost 6 lbs in a little over a week. I love that stuff!
