On this site, Sue Gilbert, M.S., writes about Carbohydrates for calming the mind. She writes: “That’s because of their effect on brain chemistry, not blood sugar. Calm people can have high blood sugar levels, and even sound-asleep folks can have high blood sugar. What induces that sense of calm from carbohydrates is their ability to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, the one responsible for a relaxed, calm feeling. Eat complex carbs for longer lasting effects.”

This diet must be followed for 13 days, that’s why it’s (quite) difficult. The diet changes your metabolism, and it is claimed that its effects last for about 2 years. It’s not one of the usual diets, but one that improves “burning” your calories. The diet is effective even after it’s completion.
