Lori(ImHere), Thank you for your time and advice. I struggle with adding fat because I feel like I'm splurging way too much as it is. I'll work on adding some more. I've read about the L-Glutamine and have it on my list of things to add to my supplements. I realize I don't have that much to lose so I know it will happen slower. The good news is my moods have stabilized,I'm no longer binging on candy and carbs and my stress level has reduced by 50%. This WOE is worth it just for those things! Thanks again for your words of wisdom. EJ
