For some reason, I have been eating horrible lately!!!! I have had such bad cravings for sugar and just about anything I can get my hands on!! I usually NEVER crave sugar and have been SO good about my eating habits since I have the lyme....no sugar, no gluten, no dairy and almost no processed foods. I don't know what's come over me! I have gained six pounds! I'm thin so the six pounds isn't a major ordeal, but I know that I need to return to my healthy eating patterns to combat this lyme and before I blow up like a hot air balloon!

My sister is coming into town for the weekend, so I'm making a commitment that on Monday, I start a detoxing program which includes green smoothies (I use the greensmoothiegirl dot com ideas), I will begin using my far infrared sauna everyday, no alcohol (which I'm not drinking now anyway) and as much as I can raw diet with hardly any processed foods.

Oink Oink!!!

Try not to be too hard on yourself we all have cravings once in a while. I went to a wedding this weekend and overdosed on the dessert buffet! Sometimes indulging a little once in a while is enough to get it out of your system. It's great that you've been so good about your diet! I wish I had that kind of willpower!

Sometimes the cravings can be your body telling you are deficient in a vitamin or mineral. Of course, the thing you need isn't in what you crave!!

I was just reading about anti parasites and it says on there that many times sugar cravings are because we have parasites!  ewwwwwwww

Anyway I am doing the Parastroy for just in case.  I have talked to toooo many lyme people who said they have parasites/worms.  tmi?  yep!

I have been steadily losing, maybe 1-1 1/2 lbs per week and I am more than ok with that!  lol

Don't self destruct!  You will be fine.  Just get yourself back on it.  :-)

Parasites!!!!!????? OMG.....

Well, I decided this afternoon that I'm not waiting until Monday. I'm going to avoid the sugar, gluten, etc. starting tomorrow and then start the green smoothies on Monday along with my sauna. Here I go!!

I'll have to look into the Parastroy My rife machine has a setting for parasites. I think I'll do that just in-case.

Bye bye candy corn!!!

Hah! You didn't mention that the problem was candy corn. man, I don't know what's in that stuff, but I'm pretty sure it should be a controlled substance!!!

Carrie I've also been gluten free, diary free, fun free, for a few months now, and yeah, there are times I am like a drug addict, going through my cabinets for the doritos I know aren't there, but somehow just in case...!

It usually takes about a week, and then the cravings subside. When they're not there, I feel fine, and happy with my diet. But every now and then, it just happens. I'm trying to eat more fruit to work with the sugar cravings in a healthy way, you know how that goes. (Normally I only have 1, maybe 2 pieces of fruit, even that sugar intake is lower.)

I can't wait to ckeck out the smoothie website, always in need of new ideas!

These things could easily be symptoms of a low functioning thyroid or adrenals. I think more of us have issues with Adrenal and Thyroid insufficciency than we realize.

Here is a great chart that makes it easy to see if this would be something you should be concerned with:
