Poor ole JJ! I'm sorry you're feeling so cruddy.

About the leg cramps: supplements! Are you taking calcium with magnesium - 2 cal:1 mag in the one tablet, taking 1000:500mg daily? Fixed my leg cramps.

Feeling light headed often means you are low in potassium. The Drs Eades of Protein Power recommend around 400mg potassium daily while losing weight. You can buy 99mg tablets which you should spread through the day, and always have them with food, or you can use a potassium salt such as No Salt.

Anyone taking diuretics or BP meds should check with their pharmacist before taking any potassium supps.

How does one keep some variety in the menu?

Have you had a good look through our recipe forums? Another good idea is to have a peek into other people's journals to see what they eat. You're welcome to see mine.

Hope you feel a bit better and brighter soon!

Rosebud
