Going Off the Diet on Fridays
I am also on a restrictive diet (high protein low carb), and it helps me stay on it to know I will go off it on Friday evenings, so I don't feel so deprived. So I told Mike the same, and he did get a big ice cream yesterday and then ate a lot of pizza. Well, his behavior was really terrible. He was very loud and angry after eating the ice cream. Don't know if he noticed. But it was really obvious to us! This of course confirms the low-protein diet as very helpful.
So, I guess I'll let him eat Thanksgiving dinner, and expect bad behavior :(

Thanks for the warning! LOL...
We got the interesting behaviour for sure. My daughter spent the day saying, "I'm just having such a bad day today. I can't do anything right. What is wrong with me?"
That was one good tasting turkey... but we had to work hard today at getting her back on track. Seems hardly worth it.
Me thinks a turkey-less Christmas is in store for us.

As it turned out, Mike wasn't horribly obnoxious on Thanksgiving. I gave him a lot of butterbur and quercetin, herbs that help absorb protein, and also he didn't eat a whole lot of meat.
Sugar sets him off too, but he wasn't too obnoxious after dessert either. Perhaps it is because I threatened to take him home if he was yelling at anyone.
I am so glad your daughter can tell she is having a bad day. Mike isn't to that point yet.
