Shezian, I eat all day, a wonderful smoothie with the best ingredients possible, a healthful small lunch and little snacks of nuts and cranberries, protein bars we make that are like cookies but SO healthful, grapes, etc. For dinner, we make a really great dish every night. My hubby is a wonderful cook. We love shrimp, venison, salads, salmon, yummy things... With my POTS I have not been able to help until recently.

But blood sugar needs to be level. Low sugar from not eating is not good just as eating high carbs and sugar making the level spike. A nice level glucose level is good for the brain and body, the nerves of course. I feels good not going to low levels, more energy etc.

My smoothie has everything needed. Kale, carrots, apple, banana, frozen berries, greek yogurt, Green's First powder and Life Extention Whey powder (both what my doctor wants me to use-FULL of good things) Bob's gluten free Oats. I think that is all. Has the protein, minerals, vitamins, fiber, amino acids I need. I look forward to it every morning.

Glenntaj, I was always so careful with food since I had CFS for 20 years. I knew that I HAD to eat great food to stay strong. Supplements too of course.

But I would have Cola and some sweets sometimes. I just thought a small amount of sweets was ok in moderation. I really found out it isn't. For me at least. Even cereals I thought were healthful have too many carbs. if not eaten with protein.

We have really enjoyed learning how to use other things like Coconut Palm sugar, coconut oil, etc. My doctor also knows about nutrition so I check with him before using new things.

Greens first powder, whey powder?
What are these good for?
Do you put your oats the blender as well?

Even Dr. Weil is cautioning against algae in supplements:

Life Extention Whey Protein

I guess that is a small part of the Green's First, I can ask my doctor next time I talk to her. It is full of so many good things.
