breanda i really appreciate your response thank you so much.
i had actually just found a LOT of stuff over the weekend on soy. i was actually wondering if THAT was what was triggering my cravings. and turns out that will help me curb them. i did a LOT of research on soy. i didnt realize how good it was for you . i guess being a vegetarian for so long paid off. to bad i was so ignorant lol. but i actually eat some meat now. mainly chicken turkey and tuna. and i do get most of my cravings at night. so i will deff up my protein during the day. im the hungriest at breakfast. but the bingiest (i know i know not a word)
at night. i have been snacking a LOT on sugar free soynut butter. this is also my first time in 15 years to have something remotely close to peanut butter so i have been enjoying it. i have 2 delicious recipes one is for a drink that i came up on my own and the other is an alternative mock danich concotion (i like to play in the kitchen).
but i would LOVE some recipes. anything you think would work, please pass along, i am open to anything at this point. i am so upset. in my move i lost my recipe collection from my 2 years of atkins'ing (yes i make up words, but it seems to fit) -=laughs=- i had soooo many recipes and they are GONE. and i now have to start ALL over.
BOOOO!
i just have to be careful with flaxseed because i caused a blockage in my colon from not hydrating myself enough 2 years ago while consuming so much of it. not that i was having it in excess. but since it expands when it gets wet. it was like rubber cement in my colon and got stuck
and with having hypomotility of the colon. i went 3 weeks without a movement and darn near almost ruptured my colon. i try to stay on top of my water as much as possible. but i suffer from dehydration easily. (but i have a lot of medical issues all rolled into one).
but i really appreciate your help with this. and any other tricks of the trade would be greatly appreciated. you are a doll. thanks hon
