As far as positive thoughts, when I am at my happiest, I seem to have a great deal of burning.

I am thinking of less chicken, since even organic could have the antibiotics.

Happy New Year Marie.

Ty Baba for your response. I will look at the links to see what I'm doing wrong or right.
The statement "According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, leafy greens such as romaine lettuce, kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, and spinach are the most nutrient-dense of all foods, so he recommends eating a large quantity of these foods. This is what I am beginning to do. One of his main points is eating high nutrient-density foods in order to obtain a high nutrient to calorie ratio. This also means avoiding processed sweeteners and concentrated fats such as cooking oil".

I eat most of the greens Dr Fuhrman mentions. I will have to slowly eliminate chicken from my diet. This scares me because I cant imagine eating only high-density foods and not lose weight. I only weigh 115.
I use canola oil and coconut oil for cooking, and olive oil with all my cooked vegetables and salad. I don't understand, am I supposed to eliminate these oils, are they considered concentrated fats "cooking oil"?
I have eliminated artificial sweeteners for my green tea. I only use stevia now. My diet is becoming more and more boring. I'm gettn tired of green tea and chamomile. It would be all worth it if I started to have less pain. I will always push myself to exercise..This is all very depressing for me , I do not see any improvement. Happy New Year!
