Description
Summary:[...]the pursuit of weight loss typically triggers and sustains overeating. After having a salad for lunch, she didn't eat again until she got home. Since her husband was working late, which he often did, she didn't bother to cook dinner. Joelle describes eating a salad at lunch perhaps in response to the morning binge, but the lack of protein required to sustain glucose levels (and mood) results in a drop in energy and mood and more easily precipitates another high-glucose binge by dinnertime. [...]Joelle would certainly benefit from a comprehensive nutritional assessment, including a laboratory assessment for gluten sensitivity.
