DAY 7 We're all crabby

Our bodies feel fine, but we are all quite crabby and depressed. Is it the food, the sugar withdrawl, or the lovely Michigan skies?
We are doing this whole-foods diet but starting with a 40 day very limited diet plan to eliminate sugars and wean ourselves off these addictions. It won't always be this strict, but Rubin explains in his "Maker's Diet" book that although grain is part of a good diet, we eat way too much and need to heal our bodies before allowing it back in. Which makes a lot of sense in light of all these medical books I've been reading about all the problems caused by food allergies. It's funny because it's always wheat and dairy, which we have too much of and in a bad form.
So Rubin has 3 Phases in these 40 days. Phase one is the first 2 weeks. So we can eat NO grains, beans, starches, corn, sugar, and most dairy. We are not following all the dairy rules since we can't find goats milk and products and don't want to bother with the work for a few short weeks of this diet. Again, since our diets weren't terrible before, it's not going to make that much difference.
In Phase 2 we can add in things like sweet potatoes, corn, and a couple kinds of bean.
Not until Phase 3 can we eat SOME grains but forever more should only be sprouted and in limited amounts (i.e. sandwiches and some cereal like Ezekiel stuff is fine, but no pastries, buns, donuts, etc) You can add in nuts and seeds, more beans and potatoes.
He also really focuses on "live" cultured foods, from kefir, sauerkraut, pickles, raw dairy, etc. It's really important for gut health to introduce good bacteria. It has LOOONNNGGGG been known (and then forgotten by the health industry) that good health and brain function begins in the gut. In fact, seritonin is manufactured in the gut! Back in the 17 and 1800s the gut was referred to as the 2nd brain. Most americans have very poor gut function, which is why we have Crohns, Irritable Bowel, food allergies, GERD, acid Reflux. All these diseases are easily preventible with a good diet.
