I've had to make dietary changes recently. For some odd reason, during the past couple of months, I began to feel lethargic (weakness, never felt like I slept), became cranky and had terrible spells of depression, started becoming forgetful in my short-term memory recall, and became more sensitive to cold. Well, I finally decided I had about as much as I could take and did some research. It turns out two things were wrong:
*Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome
*Eating the wrong foods for my blood type
So...to make a long story short, I've had to make changes in order to prevent future complications from developing. My new diet consists of:
*No meats (seafood is okay)
*No dairy products (I use soy products now)
*80% of my diet consists of fruits and vegetables
*20% consists of starches and protein (nuts, beans)
*On top of taking my multivitamin once daily, one omega-3 fish oil supplement twice a day, and one Caltrate (calcium plus vitamin D) twice daily, I now hae to take one vitamin B12 supplement once daily to support my adrenal gland.
I know it sounds weird, but it's what I've been needing for a while now. I have a lot of energy again, am truly sharp as a tack again, and my moods are pretty stable now (I don't feel like I'm constantly PMSing
). I actually adjusted immediately to my new diet. I've even noticed some loss in weight already (it's been only three days). As it turns out, my body has a terrible time trying to digest meats and dairy products, which consequently put extra weight on me and made it nearly impossible to lose weight. Well, I feel much healthier now and positive this will work out very well.
P.S. Veggie burgers and soy "chicken" patties are really good
!
