Thanks guys - I will get some L-glutamine, and I will work on drinking a lot more water. I was drinking mostly diet soda with caffeine, and regular coffee with cream and artificial sweetener, not a good idea I know. I've heard that caffeine causes carb cravings - PP says it is okay in moderation, but I'm afraid there is nothing moderate about my caffeine use, I am majorly addicted to it and have a much harder time letting go of it than I do with the carbs.

Take care,

Susan
