Actually, I will be posting this week on my latest dietary experiments, which will include the breakfast shake. So you've stopped by at an opportune time. Just check back over the next couple of days. :-) No, I don't eat only 3 times a day. I eat all day long, every 2 to 3 hours. If I go more than 3 hours without eating, I have major problems. I only list 3 meals on the menu plan because, well, it's a pain to list every single snack I eat. In fact, what I've listed for lunch...I'll probably divide that in two and eat half of it around 11 and half around 1:30. I've learned to stretch out my food intake across the entire day. About sugar cravings...yes, I know what you mean. To be honest, getting rid of my candida problem helped SO much. If you've never looked into the issue, I highly recommend it, especially since you're hypoglycemic. A candida infection will give you major, major sugar cravings AND suck all the sugar out of your blood--thus exacerbating hypoglycemia. Killing off my candida infection improved my low blood sugar problems, sugar cravings, seasonal allergies, and a whole host of other issues. Email me if you want more info: alison (at) wholesomegoodness (dot) net. I'd be happy to share what I know. alii,

I also suffer from hypoglycemia and hearing what other women are doing and what things they recommend to keep their sugar levels even is always helpful. I noticed your daily food menus only list 3 meals a day...Do you only eat 3x a day with nothing in between? I also noted you use a lot of stevia. Stevia unfortunately lowers my blood sugar so I can't use it often. It supposedly doesn't alter sugar levels according to most manufacturers, but botanically stevia is known to lower blood sugar which is why its often recommended for diabetics. Many of my sugar sensitive friends can use stevia safely, but in the past when I've used a few packets a day in tea, and/or stirred some into my yogurt and smoothies, I would be ravenous all day long. If you have any sugar craving busting tips you'd like to share, I'd would love to hear about them. I'm always dying for some sweet stuff and am an ice-cream junkie, (well more like soy ice cream and organic fat free fro-yo junkie... ) too. peace...alii alison,

I think it's hard sometimes when we look normal to others because our problems aren't life-threatening, but we are truly suffering. The good news is, there really is hope! I don't pretend to have it all figured out, and I'm still dealing with some of these issues (the hypoglycemica, for example, has me especially frustrated at the moment), but it's amazing how far I've come. I hope you will find the same gradual, steady improvement. Don't give up. I look forward to seeing you around. :-) Rebekah,

After reading your "about me" I felt compelled to write and tell you about some of the truths I have been learning as I, like you, love to research. My health quest started after I had a serious adverse reaction to the Hep B vaccine over 10 years ago. My family has struggled with many of the health issues that you yourself are I wanted to offer a book suggestion. "What the Bible Says about Healthy Living" by Dr. Rex Russell (a type 1 diabetic) was what got me started. I'd love to talk more to you about it if you are interested, feel free to e-mail me back! God bless you in your search for truth! Sarah Alison,

It was there just a few days ago, and now it's not. Hmmm... I'll talk to the photographer. Sorry about that. If all else fails, I promise to post a few on the blog for my second anniversary. It's coming up next month, so you won't have to wait *too* long. :-) Thanks so much for visiting! It's always encouraging to get feedback. Alison Lisa,

We are having the coldest weather - 1.7 this morning. And it's now nearly 11am and it is still cold! I googled for a recipe of green vegetable soup - and came up with your recipe + the other 'bits' - how interesting. Most impressed by the wedding photos. Cheers g Good Morning

Usually when I pass the cursor over an avatar, the info come up to see who is there. Maybe I have disabled something which was enabled before. (I'm still learning too) My blog is http://smokinchoices.wordpress.com, and of course, I would be happy to welcome you there. As the name implies, it is geared to the smoker who is helplessly engulfed with the habit and since I was once there and learned how to extract from it - I wanted to share with anyone who is willing to listen. So you see, my audience is by and large more limited, but the pain is everywhere. So if I can help/reach just one who needs it, it is worth it. Thanks for listening, didn't mean to run on as I have read that that is a tacky thing to do on someone else's blog. Now, on to recipes.

I must agree that my husband is quite a good looking fellow. ;-) And he's a wonderful man on the inside too. I think I got quite a catch! I would love to visit your blog sometime, though I don't see your URL anywhere. If you let me know how to find you, I'll drop in. Isn't blogging overwhelming? I knew absolutely *nothing* when I started, and I'm still learning so, so much. It's a very steep learning curve. Jan,
