ok, now i'm really confused. i thought loOp was in fla, too. please enlighten. 3,000 miles is far!

No, I wish he was. He's all the way across the country in that other sunshiney state. He's convinced he'd hate the weather here anyway, and he's probably right. I like the weather out in his neck of the woods much better too.

Tryptophan had a strange effect on me. I ended up going back to 5-HTP, even though I understand the reasons behind why tryptophan is supposed to be better and safer for you. I just finished my bottle of 5-HTP last night, and I think I'll just take a break for awhile and see how I do. I've still got plenty of tryptophan left if I decide to give it another shot. But right now I'm thinking that the fewer supplements I take, the better.

So the smoking earlier worked out pretty well for me. At first, I was still feeling very anxious, but I just kept working through it. I put the decorations away, cleaned the house, did 3 loads of laundry, and made some food for tomorrow. And somewhere along the way, I actually started feeling better. I just kept going and did more than I'd planned on, but it felt good.

I'm going to check out that link on raw milk now. As much as I love the stuff, I haven't noticed any health benefits from it. But I don't have asthma or allergies. Is raw milk good for anxiety? :H

As much as I enjoyed getting back the hour today from daylight savings time, having it get dark so early really sucks.

Is, it sounds like you had a really good day, afterall. I kept reading the clocks wrong (my pc clocks and the atomic clock both were right but of course, nothing else was so I kept assuming it was later than it was and I just opened a beer at 3:30 thinking it was 4:30. Well, its almost 4pm. Yes, full frontal exposure here, hiding nothing as usual. I did however drink less the last week than the week before by half, so I appreciate that and claim it as a successful direction.

Is, the anxiety is hitting me too, right now, I'm going to pop a tryptophan and do the All-One. I'm almost out of xanax and about to go into panic mode in two days ... I've been crazy insomniac lately.

Bruune,

Take me up on my offer. Tell me when you have time off.

You are coming to Texas my friend.

NO BUTTS about it.

Leptin is like a master hormone that controls many things, but the one thing pertinent to this discussion is that it is the hormone most responsible for controlling hunger.

Leptin is secreted by your fat cells. The more fat cells you have, the more leptin is circulating around in your body and brain. Your brain has a "set point" as to the amount of leptin it likes to have hitting your receptors. If it falls below it's "set point" it signals a cascade of other hormones that do all kinds of nasty things including making you ravenously hungry.

This is the main reason why 90-95% of dieters fail. Because their brains have gotten used to having a certain amount of leptin. When you lose fat, there are less fat cells to make leptin. Your body responds by making you hungry until you regain the lost fat cells. It's what causes the vicious yo-yo cycle that so many people fall victim to.

Within a week of restricting calories below maintenance (going on a diet) your leptin levels decrease by 50% (that's huge).

In RudyB (or roobee dee?)'s case, she had been restricting calories by using ephederine and not eating nearly enough to sustain her bodyweight. She probably lost some weight/fat and her leptin levels went plummeting. When she stopped using the ephederine (or maybe even before) her natural hormones took over and caused ravenous hunger in order to regain the lost calories. It likes to do this by making you crave high caloric density foods like sweets and fats.

oh god, that was helpful loOp. thanks. makes perfect sense. of course, i still don't know why i have NO appetite for much of the afternoon or evening, but it'll sort itself out.

who mentioned the sweets i didn't find? well, silly me, i had a cupcake from the healthfood store, vanilla cake filled with some hard-ish chocolate, frosted thick with mocha buttercream. i just ate half -and now want more- and am VERY glad i didn't eat it last night. that was an Obvious i didn't mind having. good god it's a delicious work of art!

is, a balanced intake of omegas (i always forget if it's 6 or 3 that we're all short on) is essential for happiness. in 'healing without freud...' he writes about suicidal teens -and others- being cured of their depression by upping dramatically their intake of this (6 or 3). so keep it up with the fish oil (flax is good, too)!

bruun, do you really put your dog on the treadmill?! i used to rollerblade all over with my pitbull. people stayed out of my way!

thanks for the reminder about raw milk!!! my next trip for the creamy white will be to the very local farm that sells milk un-killed.

ahh, the company of others! world of difference, huh, to have it? from now on, i am going to be more conscious of planning my weekends with social events, because i risk going crazy if i dont reduce the amount of time i spend kicking around the house and grounds, just my boy and me and whomever pops over!

lushie, don't forget to tell me if your sis lives in western connecticut and when you're coming to visit!

doggy, have a happy week at school!

nitey nite, all!

It's the Omega 3's we're all short on. The reasoning I heard was that, for the majority of our evolution, humans tended to live near water. As a result, a lot more of our food came from the ocean or rivers...fish. I dunno if I buy it, but that's what I read.

Paraphrasing:

They're considered and EFA (essential fatty acid) because our body cannot synthesize them, AND we need them. Omega 3's play a crucial role in all kinds of crap and are an essential component in our cell walls and the linings of our brains.

We used to eat a much higher ratio of 3's to 6's and 9's. This is probably wrong but it's something like this:

For the majority of our evolution we ate like this:

Omega 3's : Omega 6's and 9's
1:3

And now we eat them in a ratio more like this:

Omega 3's : Omega 6's and 9's
1:9

Lush, thanks, no time off for a trip, and doggie care would be $$ - I actually refuse to fly on vacation because I travel too much otherwise. You can always visit here tho!

Lo, agreed, Omega 3 is the only one we need, we overdo the rest. It kills me the stores selling the 3-6-9 to newbies, like DUH. And those Celtic ancestries and others to your point who depended on fish for most protein, even more important. Seven Weeks and Julie Ross both point it out rather succintly.

So Lo0p, how does one shut down the leptin monster? Regular eating doesn't do it for me.

Ru, yes, he'd pull you over on a bike or other, he's insane. He's 90lbs of goofball and if he sees another dog, forgettaboutit.

No, not at all, but it was about periods so you'd relate.

bruun, i forgot to say: yes! share your dream! pervy or not, if it was about periods, brenda will surely have something useful to say.

The reason that most people's EFA ratios are so out of whack these days is that processed food is FULL of Omega 6.
Whenever I have oatmeal (which is most mornings), I put in a tablespoon of freshly ground flax. I had read somewhere that plant based EFAs don't provide everything we need though, and that we really need to get them from animal based sources as well. I had my salmon last night, and put a tablespoon of Udo's Choice oil in my protein shake that I'll have for breakfast later at work.

Yeah, it sure does make a difference! Even if you're not actively socializing, it sounds like you keep yourself productively active most of the time! And having people pop over is wonderful! Nothing wrong w/the built in companionship of your son, either. But yeah, sometimes there's nothing better than getting out of the house for a bit.

I notice that you don't give the 6 and 9 figures, but as they are the same, I guess you didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, on Udo's Choice, it says the optimal ratio of omegas 3,6,and 9 is 2:1:1 (and it is all vegetable oils). Any thoughts on this?
Reply from Lo0p, who often uses big words to make himself seem smarter than he really is wrote: I’m not sure what the optimal ratio is. I used to be quite a buff on that kind of stuff, eat fish and drink the oils all the time but now I can’t even afford to buy fish! I’ve read many different opinions on the ratios. One thing I am quite certain of, though, is that there are 3 different (or main) types of Omega 3’s:

Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA)
Docosahexanoic acid (DHA)
And Alpha-Linolenic acid (ALA)

I’m spelling these all from memory so I hope they are correct. I’m sure they’re close enough for you to research further (I know the abbreviations are correct). I’m not familiar with Udo’s vegetable blends but I’m quite sure the only Omega 3 you can get from a plant source is ALA. ALA is considered to be the inferior Omega 3, as the the body cannot readily use it. It can be a precursor to EPA or DHA, but there are extra steps involved. All experts I’ve read say that EPA or DHA is much better. I believe those two only come from animal sources.

As with all things I read on such esoteric subjects, I take it all with a grain of salt. However, the (supposed) experts are all on consensus with each other regarding this point.

Apparently two quotes does not constitute a message. So my message is as follows: If you attempt to do this you will receive the error "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters."
