Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I hate to be sexist but the " snappish " behavior seems to be male-oriented (so far). Maybe it's because of the few males who have pushed CR to the limit. Certanly that would make a lot of sense (that those who are hungrier would be more out of sorts). Low testosterone would change one's mood so it computes. I haven't been on any other lists so I can't compare. But the " snappish " behavior on the main list and on meta are snappish enough for me! on 6/5/2002 8:21 AM, at mrobinso@... wrote: > The " snappish " behavior cited in the Wall Street article seems very negative > to me. > Although there is clearly some snappish behavior on the lists, other lists I > have been on are worse.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Joe: it would be interesting to know how CR'd you are. Do you know? Are you at an extreme end?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Joe: how many calories would be eating if you were eating ad lib? (Not that we always know;I have to guess myself). If you're eating 30% less for example, you're 30% Cr'd (which is about what I am). on 6/5/2002 1:05 PM, ph Fernandez at fernaj@... wrote: > Francesca, > I am a moderate CRONer. 5' 9 " , currently at 162 pounds.

That sounds moderate. Sorry you're having mood problems. Do you eat fish or take fish oil? Might help some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 My wife tells me my personality has changed since starting CRON and snappishness is the best description she tells me. It's probably not a thing easy to recognize in oneself (I certainly didn't) but when my wife pointed out examples I had to agree. Count me in as someone who has turned Snappish.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Francesca, I am a moderate CRONer. 5' 9 " , currently at 162 pounds. I eat arround 1800 calories a day. Once I get to my set weight (I am estimating arround 155) I will consider going with less calories. My wife has mentioned that I have been like this since the end of last summer. She origionally thought it had to do with 911 since I work in Manhatten but we have decided it's more likely the diet.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Francesca, Very difficult to say. I am guessing 2500+ before I started the CRON diet (1 year ago). Enough to keep me at 205 pounds while hitting the gym 4-5 times a week. I guess that makes me arround 30% CRONed.
