Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 I wasn't getting enough fat or protein in my diet, and as one other person mentioned, drink plenty of water, you are detoxifying... I ate more leafy greens to keep up with the iron levels too...While I was transitioning, I needed to eat a bit of fat and protein in every meal...If you are not nursing nuts worked wonders, because I got both...careful of serving sizes though, they pack a lot of calories. I also went to a nutritionist and she had me eat certain fruits with a protein because my body would metabolize fruits too quickly and then my body would react like it was hypoglycemic. The protein helped to slow it down...I know this isn't good food combining if anyone is in to that, but the blood sugar drops in my case were pretty severe and we had to get that in control. If you get dizzy or light headed along with the crabby PMS feeling and it isn't that time, (that was happening to me,) a good naturopath or dietician well versed in vegetarian eating might be a good person to talk to. Message: 9 Mon, 16 Apr 2001 23:02:41 -0000 mantha question I have a question. I have been slowly converting to a vegetarian diet. I've not had meat for a while until Saturday and Sunday. Today I am very moody and irritable (not PMS, ruled that out already). My question is could meat be causing this moodiness and irritability?
