And then....for some, but not for others, if in drought...as my country faces...when produce is thin and prices high...ah, water...it bringeth bountifull crops. We are what you eat...if it is affordable, and dependant on circumstance....and on rain....on rain.

Yes nutrients are found in much a source.... however many just smash KFC or McDonalds....people not eat for life's purpose of survival and purpose....oh well. Remember our farmers, for if no rain less food. Less food....real food...more systemic problems.

And then, who really gives a @#*@.

That's the truth. There are so many areas in the world now that have lack of substantial rain and sources of potable water. And then there are the places with too much rain and flooding. Wish it could even out!

Good for you, HT! I'm really happy to read your good news! As for iron, of course you can be like Popeye - smile I do eat a lot of spinach, both fresh and frozen. I know sometimes it's hard to keep on a food plan but if we stray, we shouldn't just lose faith and toss it all away. Get back as soon as you can. The long range is important!

I think I've strayed... I don't feel like it's a food issue, but unsure. Might be stress-related (of course, that can easily become a food issue!)

Just exhausted all the time - having to take afternoon naps, the kind where you are so tired your eyes close and you are sound asleep before your head even hits the pillow.

Have to be more aware the next couple of weeks, and make sure I'm taking my vitamins as well. Too darn many things to have to keep watch over!!!

Lynnwood, at those times when you are so tired, have you taken your blood sugar? I'm wondering if it's a rebound issue.

I haven't taken it -- actually, until I read this I totally forgot I have a kit to check blood sugar!!! Silly me.

I have wondered about rebound, since stress for me generally means I'm drinking Dr Pepper. In the last 2 days I've switched to low-fat chocolate milk. Still not great, but much less sugar and much more protein.

I will get the blood sugar kit back out and test next time I feel a crash coming on - thanks!!!

Lynwood, besides checking your blood sugar, consider getting your thyroid checked. When I feel the need to nap (and I do not have an infection), it is usually my thyroid. Often a medication (thyroid hormone) adjustment is needed.

If you're due for blood work, yes, make sure it's a complete work up.

The reason why I asked about the blood sugar is that years before I was officially diagnosed, I remember coming home from school (I was an instructor. I was about 40 at the time.) and eating a bowl of oatmeal for my lunch around 2:00 and I became so drowsy I really did have to lie down and sleep. Years later as I understood how blood sugar can drop quickly after high carb intake in some people, then I understood what was happening to me.
