First, RUN to a naturopathic physician for that second opinion. Secondly, adrenal fatigue is real. Naturopath can do tests that quantify what you need. Also, vitamin D and D3 are different. And although skin cancer is real, a bit of sun per day likely will not hurt unless you are on certain photo-sensitizing drugs. The…

So this was my morning workout today from slower to quicker back to cooldown phase : mandisa - good morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnmWwudeqfM jamie grace - it’s a beautiful day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxohx7IcN1Q mandisa - only the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXwk_rJGaA8 mary mary in the morning…

The supplement at Swanson's has very good ingredients. Would need to take 3 per day to get recommended ALA, but chromium possibly is a bit high. There are multiple varieties of chromium and picolinate variety is generally recommended to control glucose levels. All the rest of the ingredients are ones that were in…

Google Accucheck 360 view tool. It is not scary! Works with any glucose monitor. It is a spreadsheet system for recording your glucose upon rising, before and after meals for 3 days. Try doing this to see if you can see a pattern. Ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian/nutritionist. Go check out some cookbooks for…

Try googling :recipe finder based on ingredients. There are several free apps and places like allrecipes.com probably have something like this as well.

amazing list :) Keep it coming! I need this list also! Thank you so much!

Today I tried some Walden Farm's Thousand Island since it has the best star rating. It tasted decent on a spinach salad. It has no calories. I figured it was worth a try. I'd order it again.

One other item to consider, since you are searching for possibilities. Has anything changed in your sex hormones? The strongest episodes of falling asleep - in my case, literally passing out - was when my baby breastfed (= tons of rapid hormone changes). HTH

A second vote for PB8 - I used it when my kids were little and on antibiotics periodically. It made a huge difference. It has less dairy than some of the other products, if that is an issue.

If your regular doc does not give you things that seem reasonable and work for you, are you in an area with a good Naturopathic doctor? There are certainly quacks out there, but a qualified naturopath has satisfied patients who give referrals. I'd suspect a hormone imbalance of some kind like thyroid, changing sex hormones…

KetoGirl said she did not know fasting insulin number. That would be an important number to know. I am new to the LC diet specifically to reduce my overall blood sugars. The last few weeks have drastically lowered my numbers but overnight fasting level is still too high and was hoping for answers on this thread. In my…

Panda Express - teriyaki chicken which is grilled, not breaded like their orange chicken, with veggies as a side instead of rice or chow mein.

I have had /do have multiple kinds. If money is no object or looking for a good investment, I'd recommend the Bosch Universal. Right now at Costco they have an amazing deal on it - $350. It has many features included: blender, food processor and a mixing bowl that mixes bread as well. The Kitchen Aid is around same basic…

Go check out your local library. See all the cookbooks there... pretty pictures... and find what inspires you to want to cook then follow their directions. Besides, they have free, cool videos and music too :)

Yeah! My sons cleared access to the treadmill -- small but very important victory! So DavPul, I won't have to worry about that panel van... :) and I walked for 35 min. tonight :smiley:

ndj1979, it makes perfect sense because your body releases insulin (which causes your body not only to store fat but also induces cravings). The body releases insulin for the meal you just ate as well as predicts your next meal will have a similar carb/glycemic load and release a similar amount at that next meal. My…

You just posted 2 egg omelette with yogurt. Sounds healthy, but consult the back of the yogurt carton and see how many carbs are there. There are likely around 36. Try finding some Carbsmart yogurt - available at Fry's/Smith's/others in the Kroger chain. It has 4 and I can eat it without rebound hunger. Another thing I've…

Well, I am in the same boat - doctor who is a naturopath that I trust just said the same thing to me about 3 weeks ago. I need to loose around 15-20 pounds, which to you may not sound like a lot. However, every pound presents its own problem when your body does not wish to cooperate. I have type 2 diabetes and the last 3…

Neighborhood is decent, but it is dark and probably not the wisest thing to go out by myself this late. Worst thing - it is 100 degrees and humid/thunderstorms looming, so it is just uncomfortable as well as possibly unsafe weather. I have a nice treadmill, but my boys have managed to bury it/block access. Guess what their…

It is dark at 9pm and I'm not a hero to go by myself, so no park. Not a gym member at this point. I finally went to Home Depot. Takes 30-45 min. to walk the aisles - and it is safe, air-conditioned. Apparently two Amish ladies make it a part of their regular workout routine, according to Depot employee, so at least I am in…

Bonjour! Je penserais que la nourriture chinoise soit mieux... plus de legumes, mais aussi plus de glucides (riz, etc.)... Continue faire des exercises, et tu vas reussir! (tu es du Canada, de la France, d'autre pays??)

I am new to the forum. Also a teacher off for the summer which means I am working hard at getting everything done now that I could not easily fit in during the school year. My focus is getting my blood sugar numbers down somewhat and losing some weight. My naturopath recommended eating less than 30 carbs per day. I am…

As a photographer, yes, the photos are very important. Your personality is what shines in those photos, not your body image. That said, eat reasonably, do not go on a crash diet which can turn you into a not nice personality!, do not endanger your LIFE together with your partner. Blessings on your upcoming event.
