Hello....Dandi???
She may be gone, by now, but...I have found that when I eat more than about 30% meat and protein, I don't lose weight and begin to feel funny after about three days. I need my veggies and fruit...especially my veggies. I actually crave them, at times...imagine! Craving veggies! Go figure!
Since I went to the "sort-of-30%-rule-almost," I ahave found that the weight is peeling off, again and I feel fantastic! I was eating too much protein (for my body, anyway) and since changing, I am doing much better.
Doesn' tahini have soy products in it? If so, that may be ther reason for your hypoglycemic reaction, Dandi. I love almond butter, too. I make it myself. I put it on brocolli and celery...yumm.
Heather. I have one of those light bulbs in my office and I've had it for about five years, now. It makes a huge difference, especially in the winter. I am pretty allergic to flourecent light and get nauseated by it. I often turn it off during the day, even in my classroom and just let the sunlight filter through. The kids seem to do better with that, too. I've never ever had a complaint from them, and after all, they are teenagers! Teenagers complain about everything! I recommend your use of that light around your desk. I think you will notice a big difference. No baby, yet! Looks like he's going to wait, full term. My wife is home (last night) and says our daughter is doing well for a woman so pregnant..of course my daughter wants that "thing" out of her now. I think the novelty of being pregnant has worn off. One more thing...what kind of berries have you been eating? I have found that strawberries and I don't get along too well, even though I luv the little devils. I do much better with marion berries, boysenberries, raspberries, blue berries, and an occasional grape. My own home-dryed prunes and I do well together. I do well with all types of melons, too. In fact, it seems that cataloupe actually helps me lose weight. I wonder why? Grapefruit, too.
