  • Hey, I don't know if my anemia is pernicious, but it certainly is a recurrent problem. And nobody can seem to tell me what causes it. I know my mother was this way, always low blood, always tired. Absolutely there are days I don't feel I can hold my head up, much less workout. I don't take B12 shots every week, but I do…

  • Yes, of course you're starving. Your body is still working to feed two and you're still recovering. Please don't cut your calories, just eat lean proteins and complex carbs. Have you checked with LaLeche? Do you have a local chapter? I think they're online. Good luck.

  • Absolutely! Only drink calories that offer nutritional value - otherwise you're just consuming empty calories. Only juice I drink is orange juice because it's so packed with nutrients.
