Hi, AmberStone! There are several things you can do. Add a squirt of lemon juice to your water and drink at least 100 ounces a day. Buy 5-HTP at Wal-Mart..300 mg if they have it. It should be under $10. Take it once a day. If you are not taking sub-lingual B-12 pills, ask your pharmacist or doctor about this. Step up your exercise even if it's only adding one minute a day more.
If this doesn't help, remember to eat 200 calories, 5-6 times a day, every 3 hours. Protein stabilizes your blood sugars for 3 hours, knocking down the hunger pangs, so ALWAYS include protein. It can be yogurt, as you mentioned, skim milk, fat free cottage cheese, cheese sticks, nuts, beans, peanut butter, meat, chicken, fish, tuna, etc. Fill your meals out with vegetables all day long. Eat your fill of salad greens(not iceberg lettuce), tomotoes, broccoli, squash,mushrooms, etc.
If this doesn't help, stop the phen for 3 days. Start again. Any help? I am praying you can find the right thing to sdo; we don't want to lose you, Babe! HANG IN THERE!!!
