Don't know what to eat

hi karin, i am jamie, male and 37. strange that your body is requiring sugar, i know i am a diabetic. with fatique and no energy your body is requiring sugar, and as it is your source at this point-it wants more. would not hurt to see your doc about this. your bsl may be low, thus the craving. your metabolism will be a tad effected also, no nutient value for your body. hey, with depression we all go through the appetite issues, yeah even me who is a t1 diabetic! a food plan sounds excellent, maybe doing so in combination with your doc will help. he/she needs to know how things are, and i feel that this issue is important. your doc may do bloods, me i may cfs, doc is checking my iron count as i cannot stomach to much meat-cost as well as for spiritual reasons.

with loving compassion, jamie.

Karin, you're likely craving sweets as a way to get a quick energy boost, and serotonin lift. Unfortuneatley, fast energy falls out from under you just as fast-and leaves you lower than when you started. You're smart to realize you need good nutrition.

Have your endocrinologist refer you for some dietary counseling. A good one will help you make up a doable plan for healthier eating. You just need to get in the habit of stocking the makings of healthier meals and snacks. As a matter of fact, even such things as Healthy Request frozen dinners would be a good thing-quick to prepare, and nutritious. You can also keep fresh fruits, whole-grain bread and crackers, peanut butter, carrot sticks-anything that's available and easy.

Think of eating as filling your fuel tank. Don't do it according to what sounds good-do it according to what your body needs.

Good luck!

Karin

I have to agree with the many great ideas here. Karen is right about fruits.  Also try to put the number 5 into your life. 5 fruits and vegetables a day for better health !

I also agree with making an appointment with a Nutrionist to help you set a livable eating plan. 

Please do keep talking with us.

Fondly,
