carbs help produce serontonin, the "feel good" chemical in your brain. Try getting some 5-HTP, it should help. As for sex drive, are you getting enough good fats in?

yeah I get irritable and then my girl yells at me and no sex which leads to depression haha. No low carbs for long amounts of time are hard to stand for everyone. If its really that bad think about trying a new diet, one with more carbs. But if its just for a little while longer just hang in there.

Yeah i get down too, and my sex drive plummets, I eat about 20g of fish oil per day dieting too, it just stresses my body. Worth it tho

I concur....this in concert with an acute hypoglycemic state are probably the reason.

Here's a good read for ya......
