This may be a major link for me! If I eat potatoes, I get sleepy! and I am better on protein and complex carbohydrates! This just confirms what I already knew about myself! This is awesome!

I have been using the potato and prozac food plan for a while. I do feel so much better on protein and complex carbs. I have tried to be a vegetarian a few times in the past but I just did not felt very well on it. I feel better with animal protein(eggs and cheese just don’t hold me).Great plan for the sugar sensitive perople like myself.

Any hope out there for us UNDER weight people? I started a drastic weight loss in October of last year, and I went down to l03 lbs (5’9:). My shrink told me to keep a “food diary,” and I must admit that I eat the same things almost every day. I start with oatmeal and honey HOT cereal in the morning, and a fried-egg sandwich. At this point, I must admit that I aam a Kosher dill pickle addict. I can eat a whole JAR in one day! This means I crave sweet AND sour foods…but it isn’t putting any weight on. I eat a tuna salad sandwich in the middle of the day (when I’m home), and then a frozen entree for dinner. Before going to bed, I eat a fried-egg sandwich and a bowl of a LOT of chocolate ice cream. Not too long ago, I would eat a baked potato AND a salad before I went to bed. Reading this article, I think I’ll start eating a potato at bedtime again. Good advice here, Therese!! Your article gave me a LOT to think about – thanks!!

I read this book about a year ago and it changed my life for the better. Who knew that something that tastes so good(sugar) can KILL you. I tried porzac once when I was 37 because my PMS was so bad, all it did was make me lethargic and lazy. I didn’t cry or get mad anymore cuz I just didn’t care, what a waste. This book can show you how to get hormone normal naturally. I’m 45 now and I’m in the best condition mentally, physically,spiritually, hormonally then ever before in my life. To SuzanneWA comment, I would suggest you get a blood chem panel test through your regular dr. or gyn. you may have thyroid issues and it’s better to catch it in the beginning. I love your blogs Mrs. B keep up the good work, thanks.

Kathleen’s program is a must for anyone who’s sugar sensitive or who struggles with depression and anxiety. I’ve been on it since 2005. It’s a commitment. It takes work and there will be ups and downs, but as time goes on, even with the inevitable setbacks, your body will change.
It also teaches you that those of us who are depressive/anxious/sugar sensitive are not genetically ‘broken’ or inferior. We are just different. Different isn’t bad. In fact, it can be quite powerful.

Very good information for me as I am a recovering alcoholic (3 years sober) and have been trying to control my mood swings and depression without medicating myself as I feel that would be counter-productive. I will watch the sugar intake and try more brown stuff. Thanks.

HI!! Loved your post. I just bought the book and am just reading it now (about half way through) — I have decided to try it out even though I already eat most of my food in the green area. There are times when I just get overwhelmed with cravings and feel like I HAVE to have candy, or bread, or spaghetti…. If I do that once, it is a slippery slope for me and soon I am doing it a lot. If someone hands me a piece of candy I am likely to eat it, even though I know I should not. I am hoping that stabilizing my eating habits and keeping the journal will assist in resisting temptations like this. I read some other comments (another site) from people who are doing low carb and they said it has too many carbs for them to lose weight… So I’m not sure where I will end up. But I am going to give it a go — at least — to find out what happens for me.

If anyone would like to follow my progress I’ve made my first post at http://cureprediabetes.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks for your review Teresa — it has given me new incentive.
