Also, since starting to eat Peat the following effects have been noted:
I gained 5 pounds. This is probably a bit more like three pounds specifically since Peat -- I've been only been doing this about a week. I also just had surgery and could not exercise at all for the last 12 days and frankly have no felt interested in doing so. But it's something to watch and something I'm really concerned about.
My stomach is shredded. I have really bad diarrhea and stomach cramps that are not improving and I bet it's all the milk. I hadn't drunk that much milk since I was in grade school - maybe not even then. I think I need to dial back on it a little bit and try it in my coffee only. I am also wondering if the progesterone and magnesium have something to do with it and I need to back off a little on both of those. There is a lot of magnesium in coffee already - maybe cut my 100 mg dose in half.
it could also be the fruit, but I just don't eat that much. I don't think one or two cups of melon grapes or cherries would really cause this much reactivity.
I'm struggling with the old/new eating paradigm in any event. I am used to sucking on Diet Cokes all day long and it's hard to get used to not doing that. I cracked a pepsi this morning, then had a starbucks frappucino and was practically wasted from the effects of that. A lot of calories for the morning already, so I tried a glass of green tea with stevia and lemon.
Bad idea. Too much fluid, got all thready and went instantly for cottage cheese, cheese and salt and salt and salt.
Also, I'm experiencing a kind of neverending PMS with breast tenderness and on-and-off cramping. It's the sensation of the period that never comes -- and since i'm menopausal I can't expect it ever will. If you're in a position to relate to that you know how uncomfortable that can feel.
I know the stock answer to all PMS-y issues is progesterone, but I am already taking enough to worry that it is causing gastrointestinal stress.
Some slightly brighter news : resting pulse is up to 83 today from about 60 two weeks ago.
