Diet and depression

Post by GLCQuantum »

What you eat has nothing to do with depression... It cannot, nor will it, affect you psychologically in any way. This is unless you have become obese due to what you eat subsequently causing said affliction.

... agreed!

Still don't see it though. If what you ate had an impact on your psychological well being the whole of England and America would be nut jobs!

Wait.... hang on there a second :idea:

Maybe look again when sober :wink:
Alcoholic beverages all have some food value, even if only in terms of calories. The FDA defines food as “…articles used for food or drink or components of any such article; a substance that provides taste, aroma, or nutritive value.” here

Major Bloodnok...

I have suffered in the past (yes guys even at my young age) but with the right people around me ,and a little help from pharmaceuticals, I have been fortunate enough for it to become 'a thing of the past' for now.

Hope all works out well for you.

Try eating a diet consistenly of pizza company, kfc, kebabs and any other high-fat low nutrient food you can find for a month and report back on how you're feeling. We won't miss you while you're gone honestly!

If you don't fancy the challenge yourself just watch Supersize Me for an indication of what impact diet can have on your life.

I had said....

I think I made myself pretty clear. 'Supersize me', yes I watched it. I have no sympathy for people that eat absolute crap everyday and think it aint gonna damage them. Those people become depressed once they realise they have become a mammoth and their intake isn't allowing the energy to change their ways.

I eat crap every week but in moderation. Why?... because I enjoy the taste. I don't go on and make that my daily diet though. Why?... because I possess a brain.

No sympathy at all from me on that one.

Edit: I think this thread should focus on real sufferers rather than half wits who didn't realise 10 burgers a day were bad for you.

The eating of a food doesn't have the capacity to change you psychologically. What you become from eating too much does.
