They're right.

There are good mood foods!! And I don't mean cakes and nursery puddings

You need things that boost your metabolism, not just fill you up.

B vitamins are good for hormonal probs I think, so look at leafy veg and green stuff which will help with the anaemia too.

Seeds and nuts are good too.

Nothing to add just

yeah and changing your diet will naturally help your iron levels too.

glad to hear your GP is so nice.

let us know how you get on.

Went to see the nutristionist a couple of wks ago. She was very nice, said my diet was crap (tell me something I don't know!!) Thought that changing my diet could definately help with how I'm feeling. Didn't ask me to eat lentils and beans!! She wants to make sure I eat 3 meals a day plus a mid morning and mid afternoon snack (I don't eat regularly every day), so that's quite easy to do. I need to drink more and to try and snack on healthier things.

Interestingly enough she said that having low blood sugar and not a lot of protein in you diet can make you feel anxious and panicky - no-ones ever said that before.

I go back to her again this Friday.

Hi Jo, yes, I had never heard that before about low blood sugar & lack of protein....interesting. I hope you can find some nice things to add into your diet.... I love snacking on grapes & strawberries & raisins.
