Agnes has raised a few good points re: minerals, and yes, magnesium is one of the miracles of minerals.

Where you will get all the minerals required to help supplement your health and energy, and yes, even when pregnant, is to take 'colloidal minerals'.....go to the health shop and enquire about it.

Absolutely, especially colloidal silver, it will stave off all bacteria and viruses. In conjunction with meth of course.

Glad you know about colloidal silver Setanta, I have this machine that makes the silver in the water (I use Noble's pure water in the carton).
I found that tap water that has fluoride in it, makes the water go all smokey when the silver machine is putting the silver in the water. Huh

Anyway, just to show how it is amazing stuff, our dog had an eye infection, and instead of going to the vet and would of paid anything up to $100 for the consultation, and anti biotic drops, I put a few drops of colloidal silver in his eye, and within 2 days it cleared up.

If it didn't I still would have taken him to the vet.

When the daughter was younger, and had a chest infection one winter, it was the beginning of seeing how this silver worked its wonders.
I gave her some, every day for 4 days, and the way it chased all the phlegm out of her lungs, lots of tissues later, and the phlegm went from that awful greenish yellow, to clear.

That I thought was amazing.
Just wanted to share that.
Love my little silver making machine

At present :

Lots of coffee (3/day....sometimes 4 with 2 raw sugars + So Good soy milk). A quick n easy pick me up for the day.

No breakfast (makes me feel sick thanks to pregnancy/morning sickness....sigh).

Lunch : Salada biscuits with tomato, cucumber and cheese OR ....just a quick coffee.

Dinner : home made yummy stuff.

-------------------------------------

Result :

1. Feel tired and/or cranky all the time ....hence the need for more coffee.
2. Don't feel hungry. I don't suffer hunger pains nor do I go looking for food.
3. No weight loss. Grrrrrr!

Lots of interesting advice on this thread. The answer is more simple though.

You've slowed down your metabolism by skipping meals.

5 small meals a day. Breakfast is essential.

Start the day with some lemon juice in water. FORCE yourself to eat something. I too have trouble with breakfast so i force myself to eat some carrot sticks from my kids lunchbox ... a handful of almonds .. some yogurt ... an apple .... anything .. but breakfast is crucial. It kick starts your metabolism.

Coffee is giving you a high, not energy. It is actually causing you to crash. 3 coffees a day isn't too many (providing it's proper coffee, not that instant crap) but with 2 sugars in it? That's too much sugar. You're riding a caffeine/sugar high. You'll come down from it so you'll chase it again. And there is nothing 'solid; in your system to handle it.

All this will slow down your metabolism.

5 small meals a day. The smallest of them being dinner.

Make sure your food groups are covered and you don't need expensive supplements. You should never rely on supplements. Get it all from your food. To do otherwise teaches your body to be lazy.

Too many people think eating less will make them lose weight.

The opposite is true. Small meals often. Chill out on the animal fats and chow down. Small amounts. Often.

Small meals often will fire up your metabolism. Fasting will slow it down.

This is why crash diets always fail and people end up putting on more weight than they started with.

And there was my problem also I found out .... eventually! I wondered why I was always so darned tired.

When I was expecting, my iron count was so low, I was white as a ghost, and tired as, was told to take iron tablets which constipated me...
By the time I had my 2nd child, my iron count was a bit better, but not as good as it should have been. I did feel a difference in the higher count of iron, even if it was still low.

Then I went and had these injections (on the posterior as they leave dark marks for quite some time, eventually did disaappear)....
These injections helped with my energy a lot, and haven't felt as tired as I used to feel all those years ago. Undecided

Small meals often.

Many people disagree.

"Are six small meals really better for your metabolism, than a healthy three-meals-a-day diet? It's time to get to the bottom of this popular weight-loss myth.

"The Truth: The exact opposite is true: If you keep eating small amounts of food throughout the day, you'll never burn any fat."

http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fit/lose-weight/myth-small-meals

"Eating More Meals Does NOT Speed Up Your Metabolism".

http://www.theiflife.com/eating-more-meals-does-not-speed-up-your-metabolism/

METABOLISM MYTH: Eating 5-6 small meals “boosts your metabolism”

http://www.ariwhitten.com/metabolism-myth-eating-5-6-small-meals-boosts-your-met...

"Anyone looking to drop a few pounds better be grazing on frequent meals and snacks throughout the day right? Turns out the old notion of eating a meal every three to four hours to ramp up one’s metabolism wasn’t exactly perfect advice. In fact, how frequently someone eats has little to do with the speed of their metabolism."

Eat very iron rich foods Lisa ( liver etc) and it would be worthwhile getting along to the Dr and maybe having it tested- I used to have very low iron levels, and felt bad most of the time. The Dr kept telling me that my iron was in the normal range always- but didn't tell me it was at the lower end of normal- you can be in the lower end of normal range and feel just terrible ( insomnia etc). You need to get your levels much higher to at least mid range- iron deficiency can effect your overall health and well being.

the facts are

ONE SIZE DOESNT FIT ALL>>

we are being got at.. because most of our food is over processed......which makes it easier to eat and of course digest....where it disappears quick and we think we are still hungry..

so eat all the more...

its time we woke up to ourselves we are being conned by marketing...

get back to old fashioned food and cooking..

dont cook from a packet...make from scratch..everything to day is in a packet or frozen wake up girls its all treated..its all contaminated...and not for your benefit...but the manufacturers...

havent you noticed how long the lists of ingredients is getting...and havent you noticed they are getting harder to read?????...

let a lone know what the hell you are reading..

we are being conned...dont buy crumbed fish chicken prawns..crumbed anything... do it yourself...

use brown rice.. do sour dough bread.. all dearer by a few cents but its worth it..it will FILL YOU UP..

especially if you have children who are battling their weight..anything white is stripped of anythign of value...

but its easier to eat....we are so lazy we have forgotten how to chew.
