Tell me what your typical diet is. If you're getting that quick of a reaction, it sounds like you have my type of reactive hypoglycemia, the so-called "saw tooth" curve. Hard to treat, but it can be done easily. Tell me everything you eat and we'll start from there.

Stan,

god bless ya man! Thanks for the quick reply!

My diet:

early a.M.: 1 banana, 1 full glass of water, then I run 3.5 -4 miles. (walk on treadmill if bad weather)
breakfast after running: 4 egg whites mixed with raw salmon, green peppers,
2 pieces of wheat toast, one galss of orange juice, some fruits like apples mixed with yogart.
Lunch: yesterday I had grilled chicken over penne pasta in cream sauce...Big mistake I think. I am on the road for much of the day and had to go to a restaurant chain for lunch. I crashed and had to take a nap in my car on side of road. Usually, I will drive home and have a turkey sandwich on wheat,and a huge bunch of chips & maybe some salad.
Dinner: lately, broiled chicken wings from kroger supermarket, some salad, a small container of creamed corn. Note: I have no snacks in my daily routine as of late. I have a huge sugar craving & sometimes eat a chocolate bar mid morning...With no ill effects usually. My dinner, when i'm nearer my house, will consist of some kind of chicken or fish usually, sataued in olive oil, with onions, garlic and spices, a salad. Boy, do I need help!!

Hhahaha aaaah!!!!!! Sorry, I have to laugh every time a bit when I see a hypoglycemic's diet. Things you think should be helping are the worst items possible. Don't worry though, I can emphasize, i've been there. Okay, here's what's wrong with what you gave me.


1. Bananas are one of the biggest no-no's for awhile. I've read some diets that state you should only eat 1/2 a banana per week at the outset. Stay away from them, too many carbohydrates and they spike your sugar quickly.


2. Water should be fine. If you want to get the most out of your water, don't drink chlorinated tap water. If you're lucky enough to have well water, keep drinking that. Otherwise, buy some reverse osmosis water where you can fill it up for like 39 cents a gallon and treat it with trace mineral drops. Some people find this kind of a thing a little extreme, but I do it.


3. I try to avoid exercise until later in the day, when sugar is highest. When you get up, remember, your sugar level is quite low because you don't eat while you're sleeping. You might be burning a bit off of the banana, but it's better to wait until later in my opinion.


4. Eggs should be organic, free range or at least free range (cage free). Eat the whole egg, not just the white, you're missing the amino acids and stuff you need by just eating the whites and not getting enough out of it. You might as well not eat the egg.


5. You should only be eating about one slice of toast a day at the start if you can tolerate it, and it should only be whole grain or made from sprouted grains. I, currently, eat no grain products at all because my symptoms were so bad. You may have to avoid these things entirely for awhile.


6. Orange juice is okay, but it must be cut with an equal or double measure of water, not drinken straight. In fact, if you are still having symptoms, you're going to have to avoid it for awhile. If you're drinking it from concentrate instead of organic or at least natural, you're doing more harm than you think. Based on what you say you're not following the orange juice with enough protein and fat to make it permissable. You'd have to eat like three fried eggs and two tablespoons of olive oil to counter that beast. In addition...


7. No apples. Again, bad to eat this fruit at the start unless you find you can tolerate it. Since you have the saw-tooth variety, stay away from it. The only fruit I suggest eating for now are strawberries, blackberries, blueberries or raspberries. They are small, compact, and already in little portions. Apples have too many carbs and sugars for their size.


8. If you eat yogurt, it should only be plain with l.Acidophilus. Be warned though, saw-tooth curve hypoglycemics can usually not tolerate any milk products at first, because they're simple sugars. When you eat yogurt, or especially when you drink a glass of milk, you're getting a sudden sugar burst that goes straight in your blood and leads to agony.


9. Pasta is bad news at first. It should only be whole grain, yet again, and even so you should be eating no more than around 1/2 cup of it per day, if that. I guess you probably are eating a plateful.


10. Wheat bread is not good, because of what I said above. I could go on a processed food tirade right now, but i'm not going to. In a word, read labels and stay away from anything processed.


11. Yeah, chips, hahahaah, very bad. All chips must be avoided as well as potato products in any form. Corn too, stay away from it it in any form. Speaking of corn, I see you eat it creamed!!!!! Did you read the label? I'm pretty sure there's high fructose corn syrup in there.


12. Most meats are fine, but you should stay away from shellfish for now. However, meats should always be organic or at least naturally raised. If you want to know why, i'll tell you. Suffice to say, i'm sure you'd agree the organic meats are generally better for you aside from their price. This being said, the goal at the start of treatment is to keep as many toxins as possible out of your body so it has more time to heal. Nonorganic meats are nasty, if you really want to know why just ask.


13. Olive oil is great, I eat around eight tablespoons of it per day, perhaps more. Yes, that's right, my fat content is like 120g at least, per day. Guess what, I lost weight and am quite thin now.


14. Oh yeah, whoops, chocolate bar, bad. All candy is bad and must be avoided. The cravings can become insane at points, but you need to learn to avoid it. You have to, there's no other way. If you don't treat this and reverse it, you'll get diabetes eventually or may even pretty much go insane. I've heard of people go that far before they decided to eat right. People have this tendency to think the body will "even itself out" with time, but this is totally false, trust me.


Okay, there you go for now. Let me know if you have any questions. I suggest you try my diet (which I should be getting published in the near future depending on what happens), because you have the same type of hypoglycemia I do, I think. Which leads me to a question. Have you been tested for it? If so, let me know your results. Also, is there any family history of this or any type of disease (physical or mental)? Any food allergies? Tell me all and we can get to work.

Stan,

no family history of diabetes that I know of. Both parents still living; dad, 83; mom 82. Dad had bypass surgery at age 72. He's very active. I have one food allery: escargo. But all other shell fish is ok. Dog, cat hair, mold, dust and mildew are other non-food related allergies. I have not been tested for hypoglycemia.

I will take your diet reccomendations to heart and follow them to the letter!
Makes sense about those bananas...I feel really dumb. Can't wait to hear more from you.

I will be on the road today going back to fl so won't be able to check email until tomorrow a.M. Of maybe tonight if I have the energy.

Thanks again stan.

Okay, if you want, ask me some more questions about diet. Or, you can try what I do. It's still in the testing phase for other people, and you'd be a good example of how it works for someone essentially just starting out. Also, I need a list of your typical symptoms. Please go into detail too and don't be afraid to list anything because i've felt it all, likely. If you get a weird, almost uncontrollable impulse to step on a cat or something, list it. This disease can do some weird stuff to your head. You may not even realize it until it starts to go away.

By the way, I switched to all organic foods last year but all my time on the road makes this a hassle...Man, the bill for just four bags of groceries at the organic mart last time was huge!! But it's worth it.

Diet: I keep reading all this stuff about what to eat for breakfast for "hypos." it is most confusing. Cereal, low-fat/skim milk (which the gurus say is terrible for you due to it's "man-made" attributes) 1/2 cup blueberries, etc. Man, this wouldn't fuel me for more than an hour it seems. Would love to see your diet.

Symptoms:

90% of the time after 1 hour of eating a meal: immediate depression. Yes. That's one of the main biggies, depression. All my friends, especially my girlfriend, is at a loss, when after I eat, I become silent, morose, detatched. Next comes uptightness, irritibility, anxiousness, very hard-beating, racing heart. If a beer or two (and believe me, I never have been a heavy drinker) is consumed, you can double these symptoms. When going through the agony of a "post drinking" binge, (and mind you, a "binge" for me is 3 beers, and a mixed drink) the whole next day is depressive, anxious, w/rapid pulse, followed by trip to er. Yes. Stupid. About these wierd thoughts you mention: man, it's starting to make sense now...I get these, kind of, uncontrolled mental images & thoughts that strike like lightening and then disapate just as fast at times.
I was treated for addhd about 6 years ago and my sister (she's a shrink) didn't believe I had it. But the add "bouts" were there I assure you. O.K., more on those thoughts: sitting at a table, after a meal, or maybe before one for that matter, maybe i'd have an image of my girlfriend suddenly speaking in a different voice like she was talking to a foreign ambassador or something. Other times, driving, imagining bullet holes tearing into the car ahead of me in traffic. It was always hard growing up with this...Literally bouncing off walls, beating on things, disrupting class. Diet, I know, is the cause. I don't have trouble concentrating on things I enjoy (i'm a licensed private pilot, single digit handicap golfer, published writer...Yeah, yeah, forget the typos!!) but there are times when I am as clear as a bell and other times I struggle to even make a sentence when speaking to someone. I was a public speaker, motivational trainer for many years, and when I didn't eat right, man, that was scary. Other symptoms...Fatigue, extreme fatigue. Sometimes in legs. Lots & lots of excercise is my main drug of choice. I never get head aches and had my first one 3 days ago. It lasted about 3 hours. About the creamed corn: yeah, I know, hfcs is a real killer. It's the first ingredient I look for on all food labels. I was at the market and was real hungry (on the road). I had to eat something so chose this at the deli counter at kroger with baked chicken. Is that enough??? Lets get started!!!!

Hhahahaha, you sound like me. I know exactly what you mean. Essentially, certain thoughts, though entirely normal, are given more vivacity and, how to say this, I guess "power" when your sugar is fluctuating. I don't know how else to explain it, suffice to say I know exactly what you mean. For example, when I use to be bad, here's something that would happen. I would imagine what it would be like to be part of a giant television show (guess which movie I watched that day), and regardless of how ridiculous it was and how much I knew it was totally impossible, it was like with each thought my mind would come up with another possibility. Totally idiotic. It would come and go in bursts once I first got it in my head, primarily because it frightened me so much and you get obsessions with hypoglycemia (this is actually related to the depressive mechanism). I would normally get immediately depressed or immediately angry and irritable. It would sweep over me in a matter of fifteen minutes or so depending on what I ate (this would happen with vitamins too, so you might want to avoid those). Sometimes, I too would imagine weird things and they would seem to be more real for some reason. For example, I worried once that while in a chinese restaurant I thought that I knew how to speak chinese and had an impulse to, get this, pretend I was speaking it even though I didn't know how and was aware of this. Quite silly, but very frightening at the time. So I totally know where you're coming from. Okay, here's what you need to do, the main idea here is to ignore whatever you've read, because i've read it all. The goal is to find a carbohydrate level, taking out all grains, that is comfortable for you and seems to produce little, infrequen or significantly reduced symptoms, if you're lucky. It may only be slight, but you'll know when you found the level. Here's what I eat (if you have any questions about why I do certain things, let me know):

waking (every day): immediately upon waking (you may not get eight or even seven hours of sleep every night at first, your body will begin to wake you up when it knows it needs to have something in it before things get bad), 1 tablespoon of brewer's yeast, drinken down with 1/2 cup or 1 cup of organic, unsweetened soy milk (be sure to check, they add sugar to most soy milks), depending on how you feel. This is key, because if you seem to feel worse, take the cup and not 1/2. 1/2 hour after this, eat 1/2 of a medium, organic avocado (you'll also follow this with a double serving of berries listed below). After this, wait fifteen minutes, and then take down 1 tablespoon of organic olive oil and then eat half of a serving of nuts (depends on type of nuts, I list below the type I suggest eating because of research of done on them, as well as the number I eat). Then, fry up two organic, free range eggs (i suggest over-easy preparation, but it's up to you), put a bit of organic coconut oil on each of them and a bit of sea salt. After this, eat a serving of the leafy green for the day you are eating (see below), and then drink about a liter or a bit less of water. If you can, sip at it instead of just drinking it straight down.

Day 1: for berries, in the morning double the serving. For this day, eat two strawberries, organic if possible, each about the size of 1/4 a closed fist or a bit smaller. If not, like any other berry, wash it off with fit. Eat this with the avocado I mention above and wait like I say. Two hours after you finish this first meal, this is what you eat (also every two hours the rest of the day until before bed, which is listed way below): oilve oil again, followed by 6 raw organic almonds, half a serving of turkey or fish (preferably haddock or salmon, not farm raised), 1/5 cup of acorn squash mixed with a bit of black pepper and sea salt, one serving of romaine lettuce, one strawberry and then one liter of water. Every two hours, exactly in the order I give you here.

Day 2: again, double your berries, this goes for every day, and do the same thing I mention with the strawberries if they're not organic. Same breakfast, but this time with four blackberries (or a bit more, try to get berry servings the same size as the strawberries you ate, it may be five instead of four). Meals for the day: olive oil again, followed by about 4-5 whole raw organic walnuts, half a serving of venison (if you can't get this, go with lamb), 1/2 cup spagetti squash, one serving of red romaine lettuce, two blackberries (or perhaps three, again depending on size) and one liter of water.

Day 3: same idea. This time, start with about 6-8 raspberries, depending on size again. Meals for the day: olive oil, followed by 4-5 raw organic brazil nuts, 1/2 serving of chicken (or turkey if you prefer fish on the other day, but not turkey again if you had turkey), 4-5 cherry tomatoes (i'm still a bit uncertain about this part of the diet, it seems to lead to too much acid and may not be enough carbs, but I still do it for now until I see if the reactions on that day are consistent), one serving of red leaf lettuce, 3-4 raspberries and one liter of water.

Day 4: same idea. This time, 8-10 blueberries. Meals for the day: olive oil, followed by 5 raw organic pecans (if smaller variety, 12-14), 1/2 serving of beef in some form, 1/3 cup of butternut squash, one serving of green leaf lettuce, 4-5 blueberries and one liter of water.

Water: water must not be chlorinated, if you have well water, great, stick with it. Otherwise, buy spring water, or preferably, reverse osmosis water (not distilled or ionized). You can get these other types, but regardless if them or osmosis, you need to then purchase trace mineral drops to restore the good mineral contents of the water that have been removed. If you get distilled or ionized, you may need to double the amount you put in because they essentially have nothing left and this will actually draw nutrients and minerals out of you.

Before bed (every day): about one hour or hour and a half after eating you last meal, make sure you add a hard-boiled, organic, free range egg to the mix. Then, after this amount of time passes, have one more tablespoon of brewer's yeast, followed by a cup the soy milk.

Okay, that's the diet. The tomato thing, like I said, i'm trying to figure out. Until the summer there usually isn't another type of squash to try, but other vegetables other than eggplant must be avoided for now, and it doesn't have too many carbs in a cup. Squash is filled with good, complex carbs and tons of vitamins and nutrients. If you have any questions about what not to eat because of something up there you can't eat, let me know. Let me know if there is any uncertainty or questions about it. You're going to be the first to try it fully, so I hope the best for you, I really don't know how this will work for someone starting out, but on it have gotten to around 93% of my original functioning capacity within only one month, as opposed to six with other diets. I think this will work for everyone because it's based on the saw-tooth curve. Over time, what we'll do when the symptoms are generally under control, is increase the carbs slightly with the foods above, and then increase the amount of time between meals. Then, you can begin experimenting, occasionally, with nasty foods like general tso's chicken and such, in small amounts. However, you need to realize, that the nutritional elements of this diet essentially are for life, with grains added later. You won't mind when you feel how good you feel. After reading over this, ask any questions you have, and then i'll tell you what you can expect to happen when you begin this diet.

Stan,

i am thinking that I might try the diet you described, but is it important to vary the types of berries , vegitables and meats to eat every day? Or can I eat the same foods for consecutive days?

One quick question. Is stevia, a natural sweetner ok to use?

Thanks!

Man. What you say about the thoughts really makes sense. Because, in reality, you are aware of them when they're cursing through your head but obsess about them for several minutes/hours. Then you say to yourself: "man, that was crazy, does everyone have these thoughts?" you are contious ly aware of them but seem to have no control at times.

Ok stan. I will print the diet tomorrow and start first thing a.M. (my print server at the condo I live in is on the frits...Will have to use the one at my office.)

man! I can't wait! Its really amazing what a finely tuned instrument the body and it's internal organs are. Today on the golf course I tried some of the diet things you originally spoke of in an earlier email. After I had a small sandwich I plucked a few rasberries into my mouth for a snack about 1 hour later, all was fine. I'm already feeling a little better. But do you know what i'm really looking forward to stan? A good nights sleep. I haven't slept soundly in 5 years.

I'm ready. I'm onto this diet and hope to provide some vital feedback for you.

Once again stan, words do little to show my appreciation for your time & expertise.

Stan,

in some of the paragraphs i'm confused about what meal (lunch, dinner) you want me to eat some of the foods. Ha, ha! This is typical of me. It's pretty much plain & clear probably. I will re-read a few more times. Is this a hypoglycemic spell??? Could you amend the meal plan to read more like this:

day 1: breakfast, blah, blah,blah
snack, blah, etc.
Lunch or "next meal" etc......

I figured it out. Sorry.

Yeah, it's just the same meal, over and over. It's rough at first because of the frequency of eating, but it's quite a good way to get out of situations. Plus, if you want, I can give you some tips on preparation to make things taste a bit better. One thing, try to cook meats on lower temperatures for longer periods of time. Don't fry anything. The thoughts are annoying, but basically, yeah, it's what anyone else would think but when the brain doesn't give enough sugar to every bit of itself, sometimes these simple thoughts are given more force, it's really quite interesting. Sleeping is so good, I was having awful trouble at first and once I got it I haven't had a wakeful night in forever, it's great. Yukja, the reason you rotate the foods is that this way you can see for certain if any of them will have a negative effect on you. It's good to keep track of symptoms as you start to see what happens, and if you notice a consistent reaction on certain days or a few days after eating something, you can figure out the problem easier instead of constantly guessing what it could be. Technically, I suppose you can eat the same things, but this gives you more variety to help you stay on the diet better and keeps your body fresh with what's going in it. One of the things to remember is essentially you are retraining your pancreas so it doesn't react so harshly every time you eat. Once it calms down, you can extend the time and eat different things. But first it has to learn to cut out what it's doing, and with the regularity created by my diet, it wil begin to quickly assume a certain number of carbs every time and then will slow down. If you do feel great at the outset then i'm quite happy with what i've made here. Keep in mind the following, however, because you may go through this. Most people seem to go through four phases, which I only recently found mentioned in a book on hypoglycemia I purchased three months ago. Without knowing this, it can be awful because you assume every little bad thing is a bad diet change when actually it normally just means your body is adjusting to everything. Here's what you should expect to happen if it does. Again, this may be completely changed with the diet i've created, as i'm hoping, but hopefully it will make it at least a lot more tolerable than other diets. It did for me. 1. At first, depending on your previous diet, things might get awful to where you start to doubt everything. Or, it may get great at first and then bad after a few days. Regardless, you may feel like giving up or feel so bad you can hardly function. This didn't happen to me, i've only read about it, but be warned in case it happens this is a good thing. 2. After this, you will suddenly feel back to normal, but this is then counteracted by random swings in mood and energy levels. You'll feel great, and then four hours later feel like crap and start to get depressed, only to feel better again in a few hours or perhaps even the next day. This part can be tricky because you think you're making mistakes, don't think that. 3. Then, the symptoms will slowly start to disappear and you'll notice things not bothering you as much anymore, stupid fears going away, depression lifting in ten minutes instead of several hours and so forth. The progress is very slow though, so you may almost feel at times as though you're not getting better at all and nothing is happening. However, if you sit down and write down symptoms that have disappeared, you'll be amazed. It's good to keep a symptom journal before this point so you can refer to it. 4. Then, pretty much one day, things will feel great with occasionl bad spots that are quite infrequent. When you reach this point, stay on the diet at least four months, if not longer, when you feel good nearly all the time except for typical day to day problems anyone goes through. Then you can extend the time and finally experiment with other foods. Once I got the diet I skipped one of these phases like every week, right now i'd say i'm at the end of stage three or whatever going right into stage four. Just a bit further to go, but I feel so good I don't even care when I get a bit sick anymore, plus it goes away in a few minutes, so it no longer bothers me.

Oh yeah, don't forget, you may be able to eat more carbs than me (i currently get around 120g a day or thereabouts), so if you feel like you need more, add more for a week or so to see what happens and keep adding until you find your level, or decrease.

Stan,

last night was terrible. Mind you, I haven't started your diet until this morning but everyone says to maintain weight you should never eat anything past 6:00p.M. Well, I walked 9 holes of golf, then played another 12 holes riding in a cart. I had 4 small venison patties fried in olive oil and a small salad at 6:00 p.M. I went to bed at 10:00. I was not tired mind you, just thought that I needed to sleep.Tossed and turned till midnight, had a small heart palp...Which led to waterfall of panic responses (increased pulse, ringing in t he ears, etc) I took an rx sleeping pill and an rx anti-anxiety pill (i never take these unless I absolutely, 100% have to. I hate the idea of being hooked on these things just to sleep. So my question is this: is this diet enough food for a man that: runs 4 miles a day, plays golf, etc.??? It seems I need 1000's of calories more than your diet provides. We may want to speak by phone on this.

It could be a combination of things, most likely, I can pretty much say this with certainty, you 1. Ate something you shouldn't have (perhaps not, but there are two more important things). 2. You didn't keep eating. Don't listen to whatever you heard. I eat sometimes even up to 12 midnight, and then go to bed in an hour doing the soy milk thing I talk about and I have not gained any weight. In, fact, during the first two weeks or so, I lost around 10 pounds. You simply didn't have enough food stored in you is the likely culprit here, especially since you're not regulated yet. This is an old notion about eating you need to get over until your diet and sugar are stable. 3. If you did that on top of a lot of activity for the day, there's another problem. 4. You fried the venison. You should never do this initially. Basically, what happens when you fry meat is you usually create undigestable protein bonds. I didn't know this at first and would see that i'd get almost instant reactions from frying meat. I thought it was me until I read that, and when I changed the cooking method it was gone completely. Until, one day, I tried it again to test. Sure enough. There are two things you can do. 1. You may need to initially cut back on your exercise level. I used to lift hardcore 5 days a week along with other things, and cut back significantly. Sure, I lost some size and this and that, but within time I was able to do more than I even did before and more frequently. This may be something you need to do, unfortunately. 2. If you're worried about calorie level, you need to calculate, or we need to calculate, how many calories are in these daily meals, because I never really paid attention to it at all. I just paid attention to the carbs and, in addition, had heard that if you feel like you're lacking energy and feel hungry between meals, you just increase the fat. Did you calculate the calories? I'm curious how many there are. We'll get it, remember, read above, you may go through the phases. This may be unavoidable, but I at least hope it can be reduced significantly.

Thank you for the step by step diet plan and explaining the four phases we might go through while on the diet. It is really good to know.

So you fry eggs for breakfast, but not the meat or fish for other meals. Is there any specific reason? Can I have boiled eggs for breakfast?
I'm little worried about the amount of cholesterol, though.

Now I eat a lot of tofu, but would it be ok to incorporate it into my diet?

You mentioned meals should be every two hours. But I tend to eat more often in the morning because I feel more hungry. Is it absolutely necessary to wait two hours after each meal?

I thank you always for your patience and help.

Sure, I mostly hope it helps others. It was so frustrating to figure out everything on my own and i'm hoping that through my experience I have created a diet that can be used by anyone. I fry eggs because that's how i've always eaten them and it never caused a problem. In addition, i've never come across anything saying anything against it other than the protein is changed a bit and isn't as complete as a raw egg. You could easily hard-boil them, certainly. In fact, it might be easier that way because you can boil a number of them and keep them refrigerated for days to use. Like I say up there, the frying of the meat makes indigestible protein bonds based on what I read. This could be false, but I seriously noticed a difference before I even read that. I've heard mixed things about tofu. It has a lot of good protein, but not the same quality as animal meats (read the maker's diet about this sometime). Also, i've heard bad things about the "phytic acid" content, which supposedly takes some minerals and nutrients out of the body while you digest it, since the human body does not possess the natural ability to integrate it properly. However, i've read that soy products, in small amounts, like the amount of soy milk in my diet, is actually quite beneficial. There is, of course, some line somewhere between too much and too little. The thing to always remember is that the chinese and japanese traditionally do not use tofu as a main food source, only as complimentary to other dishes. This could explain the usual deficiencies in many vegetarians who do not supplement. Here's why you do a meal every two hours. This diet is based on the saw-tooth curve, as I mention, so i'm not certain how it will work for someone who's sugar tends to drop in three to five hours instead of one or two. Hopefully, it won't matter, but if this is you be warned I really don't know how it will work, that's what I need to see. Anyway, the two hour thing is so that there is a constant supply of energy going through the body, the same level, every time. It seems then that the pancreas more quickly adapts because it assumes the same amount every time and this should make it easier to reintegrate more carbs and foods later on. You give it a small amount every two hours, and it learns fast. And, this avoids the need for snacking all the time like the 3-4 meal diets. With my diet, the end goal is to get to 3-4 meals without needing to snack, if it's possible. I think it will be, so we'll see. Sometimes you'll feel great and won't even feel like eating, but trust me, don't fall for it, keep going and don't get discouraged. Once everything evens out, first thing to do is extend the times between meals.

Thanks again for lots of good information, especially about tofu, I am from japan, but didn't know anything about what you said about tofu. I shoud do more research on my own, but I take the easy way, to ask you!

All jokes aside, I will try your special diet sometime soon and see how I will do, and hopefully I can give you good news.


Well, thank you so much for everything!

I hope so, and it will be interested to see how cultural differences in previous eating may effect the outcome.
