Crayfish,

Iirc no one told you to cut way back on carbs but to make the

adjustment slowly and reasonably and in your own time. From your

writing, I hear that this has been a rotten experiment and

uncomfortable and provoked unpleasant symptoms have been provoked.

Switching from the menu which you posted to a menu worthy of the Idol

seal-of-approval is not to be done suddenly without significant

consequences--just ask . Please do what you are comfortable with

and if that means eating as frequently as necessary, so be it and no

one--that I know of--on this list is going to give you flack for using

a rhythm that works for you. Not on my shift!

With all of that, I still think you can work very slowly--like over a

few/several months--to reduce meal frequency (if you are not put off

it by now) but it is going to require a great deal of patience and

experimentaion and individual tweaking. But, with effort, you will,

say in six months, look back and see a great deal of improvement.

Curious why Dr. Rind thinks coconut products are good for other people

but not for you? Can you explain a little more?

Do you eat animal protein 3X day, excluding dairy

protein like subbing eggs instead of bacon or sausage

for breakfast?

Crayfish,

Obvious: what was a day's menu?
