emotional blow up from eating jam?
My DH and I started the SP diet 2 months ago. We have followed it to the letter, with no cheating. My Dh is slender and basically healthy, but had begun to feel that he was aging. I on the other hand have been very ill for many years and am slogging along with little wt. loss and feeling terrible. His response was incredible! Within 3 weeks he acted and felt 20 years younger. He decided he was well and has started cheating with coffee, sugar and not eating all the food groups at a meal. Yesterday morning he woke up in a bad mood. This is very unususal for him. He is very even and very rarely gets down, and never has a temper. He ate some jam on his toast. All day he kept getting more and more irritable and last night he exploded, complete with cursing, over nothing. I was shocked and he was horribly confused and embarrassed. I ended up lecturing him about taking risks in bringing himself out of transistion by cheating, that it si much too soon to assume that he is completely healed enough to eat sugar. That is the only thing we can think of, that he has been feeling so good because he is basiclly healthy and has been healing and then caused himself a set back. Has anyone had experience with eating sugar causing irrational emotional upset?
