Mega portions of protein + complex carb 3 times a day just exhausts me. Seeing mega expensive nutritional therapist on Thursday.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-80669693231915811022011-06-14T12:10:51.301+00:002011-06-14T12:10:51.301+00:00when I relapsed a few years back the sugar thing w...when I relapsed a few years back the sugar thing went haywire and just before I so ill I had to stop working I was hooked on Coca Cola...sugar+ caffeine.

Are you giving me the defineonline link...Hi Zhoen,<br /><br />Are you giving me the defineonline link so I can look up Lawks? Ignore my disingenuous stance, I', English, innit, and know my nursery rhymes. "Lawks-a-mercy on us, This is none of I!" - etc. But thank you.<br /><br />Thank you also for the sugar advice. For someone as addicted and affected as I am, the whole approach needs to be hardcore. I am on a seven-step programme.<br /><br /><b>Digi</b>? Damn serious, me too! And this seven-step programme I am on is designed for such as you and I - but sans M.E., and this can be a little problematic. Having breakfast within an hour of waking, for example, and the amount of protein one should eat. Lots of potential pitfalls. But interesting nevertheless.<br /><br />Evenings are the worst for craving, I find. Don't know how I'd resist a Rocky Road if I had to be in the same room as it.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-12781876359632482972011-06-13T23:13:25.605+00:002011-06-13T23:13:25.605+00:00Yes, it is indeed 'rockanroll' and taming ...Yes, it is indeed 'rockanroll' and taming our hardwired sugar habit is probably the closest we'll ever get to some mind-altering tune-in or drop-out or drop-in or whatever those groovy rebels are supposed to do.<br /><br />I made the mistake of eating a ... gasp! ... Rocky Road on Friday which was indeed the beginning of my rocky road to dietary ruin. As if a switch was flipped and suddenly I had a craving for more of the sweet stuff. I think I need some sort of 12 step programme.

Baby carrots, apples, even a very crunchy cookie. Our ancestors would gorge on fruit, hork it up, then gorge some more. It's deep in our genes to eat all the sweet we can find.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.com
