This is the only time I drink any soda at all but is great for my cravings: Diet Rootbeer and 1 scoop of sugar free vanilla ice cream. Sometimes I will add a dollup of light cool whip on top.

My daughter is bipolar too. She got a job waitressing and the walking all night has really helped her. The exercise makes her feel better. She stopped taking her meds last year and is doing great. I would suggest to stop focusing on food and go for a walk. I know it is hard to get up and get moving when you really don't…

What I have found in all my research is that eating protien after you exercise will help your muscles recoup faster and you will not get as sore, plus it helps in building the muscle.
