Yes! But nothing solid yet.How are you getting on with this, Cleo?
Increasing calories seems to have the biggest impact, as well as keeping my blood sugar regulated (Eating protein before sugar etc).
I still haven't had any starch.
But yes, the increase in calories has helped me the most, to sleep through the night most of the time, with the occasional bad day once or twice a week.
It’s still not as strong as potatoes affect but I think I need more time to adjust and fine tune.
I also upped my melon/pawpaw intake. For some odd reason these two fruits work really well for me. I’m not sure why yet. Maybe the anti estrogen affects? I heard haidut mention that they have “phyto progesterones” ?
I recently had a Weird Candida flare up caused by heavy metals or too much pregnelone, which made everything hay wire, so, I can’t really take the last week into account.
I also started taking Oxbile for fat digestion, which has overall been amazing (My stools would always float and were pale in colour - suggesting some malabsorption?).
I also am slightly prone to blood sugar dysfunction (diabetic symptoms) : peeing clear, thirst, peeing 11x day ect, peeing at night, and when those Symptoms go away my sleep is good.
So, I have a good feeling that it is the low calories(2000-2300) or bad eating habits (sugar without protein, big gaps between food) that I’m most sensitive to which trips my sleep up (haidut posted a new post on fasting and diabetes on his blog).

I think I need another month though, then I’ll hopefully have a more thorough idea of what works.
