Protein page

September 13, 2008

Thanks for the reminder of the Step 1 page, Mosaic. I have a lot

of & #13; & #10;trouble getting enough protein and have had to go back to

animal & #13; & #10;sources since I got seriously ill this summer. However, I

am & #13; & #10;hopefully on the mend and eating breakfast is one of the good things

I & #13; & #10;do for myself. For the new members of the group, I live in a

small & #13; & #10;city in Kazakhstan where the availability of many foods is

limited and & #13; & #10;the meat supply is not always safe. So, the protein

powders, tofu & #13; & #10;products are just not available. The other challenge is

that except & #13; & #10;for oatmeal, browns are not available. It does make it

more & #13; & #10;challenging to stay on the program. But, I do get wonderful

fresh & #13; & #10;fruit and vegetables in season and fantastic dried fruits and

nuts all & #13; & #10;year round. & #13; & #10;On a positive note, after adopting this

way of eating and living I & #13; & #10;have been able to stop taking

anti-depressants after 15 years. I & #13; & #10;really believe that it is the only

way to eat healthily for & #13; & #10;sugar-sensitive people like me.

You are not butting in at all - one of the wonderful things about this page is

that everyone is welcome to share from their experiences.

Antidepressants were a necessary evil for many years. It took a lot of courage

and perseverance and a whole lot of support to finally

break free of them. I have been able to manage without them for 3 months now -

but it has been through the summer months. I'm not sure how I'll be in the

darker winter months, but I'm going to try. Eating right and getting fresh air

and sunshine are part of my everyday fight to live without the pills.

Good luck t, and don't be afraid to listen to your body.
