Struggling to Feel Sane On Diet Posted: 07-28-05 07:34am
Friends, this is my first post here, and I
am so glad to find you all. I'm finding I
have to be extremely vigilent lately,
eating almost every hour to stay calm.
Its been three weeks since I kicked sugar,
caffiene and all the junk. Mid mornings
and around dinner are my worst times.
Work is rough, stressful enough, but then
with three kids in college and all the
trappings and stress of the "good life", I
am really sort of child like in my coping
skills lately. I can't hang real well -
even just staying in line somewhere!
A half stick of big red the other day sent
me into a tailspin. Can't do that
again.
Even the fluoresence lights in my office
are making me edgy.
I eat protien packed meals with meat, raw
veggies, and nuts. How long till the
waters smooth out and I feel better?
Thanks,
Very happy to report that I have
discovered an old ally I used years ago to
control hypoglycemia symptoms -
spirillina. It has helped today to a
great degree. Have to trim back bread in
the diet as well. Think there may be an
algeric reaction to it. Didn't eat till
11am because of a physical exam fast in
the morning. Felt real clear headed and
calm without any food - then ate the roast
beef sandwich on whole wheat and got kind
cranky. Today was the best day of the
last thirty even still! 1000 mgs vitamin
c, 200mcgs crhomiun percilinate and 500mg
spirillina have worked great today. God
bless, best ron

Try to cut your carbs down to no more than
100g a day, totallying everything you eat
up. It should help. Don't add bread
later until you feel like you can
experiment.
