Exactly. I used to think that I had some kind of severe emotional problem linked to food. Why was I so hungry all the time? Why couldn't I just say "no"? Come to find out, once I went low carb I no longer had this awful so called emotional problem. I had a physiological problem that was solved by eating a low carb diet. I now I make the choice every day to continue eating this way but it's not a hard choice to make since I am not driven by hunger.
