So, yeah, vegetable proteins are kind of a no go for me.
The theory is that a lot of boomers and younger got popular processed foods so we have weaker sympathetic systems and dominant parasympathetic. So fast oxidizers are more common these days. They are also usually calcium deficient and nervous eaters. Hence carbs make things worse. For some like me though a low carb diet makes me morose in just a day or two (low serotonin) and adding some carbs back in cures that. So diet and weight loss is highly individual.
