My thoughts used to race a lot but when I started restricting more my brain became really quiet. Now because I don't have the mental energy to spiral like I used to, my anxiety literally went away. I used to have panic attacks in class and didn't talk to anyone, even in group assignments I just couldn't get myself to speak. I would shake just standing up in front of a class for presentations and I was convinced everyone hated me. That got better after some therapy and actively working on myself but it really went away with restriction. I literally just don't have thoughts like I used. All I used to do before was think and now I still think (obviously lol) but it's more work and more of an action I actively act on than before. And so because I don't have all these thoughts telling me I'm dumb and stupid and should stop talking,and because I'm not going to actively think those things to myself, my anxiety completely died down. I have no problems speaking to anyone anymore, speaking in front of a class, presentations, I just don't have the mental energy to be anxious about it anymore. Curious if anyone relates?

Yes honestly restricting your diet to certain foods and having a diet/meal plan can have tremendous effect on weight loss and general healthiness.
