I'm ...Hi Opit,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments and concern. I'm really not at all worried about becoming a moonie or a hare krishna! Much as I would love to "believe" in many things, I'm actually a die-hard agnostic in every sense of the word. That's why I have such a hard time with visualization!<BR/><BR/>As for the calorie thing, please go back to my first post! I am NOT on a diet. In my opinion, they are the bane of the western world. Although I know that my caloric intake must remain low, I am not, nor will I count calories. And 600 calories a day for a woman is downright crazy. I cannot imagine getting the proper amount and blend of nutrients!<BR/><BR/>This said, I always appreciate comments and dialogue.<BR/><BR/>NewMeNewMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172571318565002724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421007530617008911.post-74673090178280575582009-03-06T18:15:00.000-05:002009-03-06T18:15:00.000-05:00'Keeping focused' is onerous unless it's meditatio...'Keeping focused' is onerous unless it's meditation or related discipline. Thoughts tend to stray. I know techniques for self-hypnosis/self-programming which involve repetition : and caution with any such is highly recommended.<BR/>I'm sure you've heard the 'Hare Krishna' or Moonie stories for instance : people put themselves into an otherworldly state of suggestibility. Anybody who grew up watching TV commercials can figure out that's not the greatest plan.<BR/>That said, I think soothing nature sounds, etc. have a place in refreshing a person: and wonder if biofeedback has any place in circulation/healing via visualization of relieving inflammation. Could that be aggravated by allergies?<BR/>But the calorie counting makes me wonder : I'm quite sure I read an article on Swiss oldtimers living an active life in the mountains, living to a ripe old age, and consuling in the are of 650 cal/day for the women and 800 cal/day for the men !<BR/>That said, as a diabetic with the knowledge I've never tried to do what you're up to - I sympathize. <BR/>I do think when I keep bread, etc. strictly limited and cut out sugar altogether, things become much easier to control.<BR/>I'd have a look at Mike Adam's Natural News and see what I could dig up if I was looking for fresh ideas on your problem.opithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621946866211400380noreply@blogger.com
