Sleep Problems 10 months, 2 weeks agoFor everyone in this group I hope you will read the books I suggested as a new mbember here (get from your local library): 1) No More Sleepless Nights and 2) Overcoming Night Eating Syndrome. They reinforce what is stated in Dr. Hyman’s book as well. Most importantly, they do not talk about prescription drugs until the end of the book. The cause…[Read more]

Weight & Obesity 10 months, 2 weeks agoI have posted my health history under the Sleep Issues Group–but my sleep issues also go hand in hand with my weight gain. So I will be checking both groups for help and advice.
I am partially through this book Blood Suagar Solution and I have a question: Is anyone familaiar with Skinny Pop Popcorn. It is free of all sugar, gluten, cholesterol,…[Read more]-
Hi Laurie – corn is a grain and is off the plan for the six weeks. I hate to say it but I think this snack is a no-no. (I feel your pain – popcorn is a favourite snack of mine too)

if you’re on the basic plan, popcorn is just fine. i cook mine in coconut oil…and add a little salt, and sometimes nutritional yeast, perfect!

Hi Laurie, Check under My Downloads at the top of this page. One of the PDFs talks about portions and lists popped corn. You will have to pop it yourself, rather than getting a package. Check the ingredients of most micro wave pop corn, they are not good.

Sleep Problems 10 months, 2 weeks agoI did not mention below that we learned via blood work that I basically had no vitamin D! It was only in the books that I learned taking Vit D and calcium was fine and good but for the body to use it I needed magnesium. Checking my diet–I ate nothing that had magnesium, nor was it in my Women’s One-Daily Whole Food Multi-Vitamin. ugh. I added…[Read more]

Sleep Problems 10 months, 2 weeks agoI am new to this group. I set a goal for myself this summer, and that was to find help for my sleep issues that (from what I had been reading on internet sources) were also playing a role in my weight gain. I did not let my doctor off the hook (I did not want to be dismissed) and he referred me to an ENT (ear, nose, throat) who then referred me to…[Read more]

What a tale! Unfortunately your stort reflects that of millions of Americans. As Dr. Hyman says, we have doctors for everything. Physicians rarely look at the body as a whole system and instead, break it up into pieces (which doesn’t make a ton of sense!) You’re definitely on the right track with the books and educating yourself. Hopefully this…[Read more]

Thanks Laurie! You’re a great resource!
Hi Laurie,
I’m new to this group and have been reading your posts. Thanks for all the great info here. I know for me that magnesium is key to a good night’s sleep and less stimulants prior to bedtime. I take two magnesium tablets 1/2 hour before bed and sleep like a baby, unless I forget :{ This BSS book is helping a lot of people and I’m…[Read more]
