by gosh kory,
i think thou dost hit the nail on the head. AMPLE = gymee's definition of getting enough of each nutrient. allowing sugar to do its job of energizing the brain, and the muscles to some extent. not breaking down protein for sugar, and creating ammonia in the body. as well as causing amino imbalances, since only some of them can be turned into glucose. protein is for building blocks. so are the essential fats. use these nutrients in the way they were designed to be used. sugar is a friend, but like all friends, it must be treated respectfully, if you want to keep it as a friend. we need to understand what each nutrient does in the body, so that we know how to nourish the body fully and correctly. the more saturated the fat, the stickier it is, and the quicker it can quagmire together. the essential fats, plus omega9, do not form large masses, because of their shape and electrical properties.

we should all be taking these extensive tests, so that we can get a bird's eye view of our individual bodies, what we may be lacking in, what we have in too much abundance.
