why not remedy the problems at root? always better than working at branch and leaf level. thyroid is first = metabolism and mood. if thyroid is incorrect, as it so commonly is (and unfortunately, not easy to find a doc who is in the know), adrenals will also be compromised (at the least). poor thyroid & adrenal function sets up the carb cravings, which causes the insulin spiking. it's a wicked spiral……

You know how depressing it is when you want to lose weight and have done all the exercises, diets and etc.. but still you're gaining fats us you deprive yourself from eating foods you like to eat so I'd better take the Gherlin pill if available.

I have always felt that protein first thing in the morning helps blood sugar levels so it stands that this would also help food cravings.

I recently went through a weight loss program using excercise and eating properly (56 pounds in 8 months). I still have to make sure I eat correctly to keep the weight off. When I was loosing the weight I did a short workout in the mornings then ate a high carb breakfast. Now I find when I do not workout in the morning the high carb breakfast (oatmeal or cream of wheat) I am hungry again within a couple of hours. I am wondering if the workout is what makes up the difference in the cravings. My body needs the extra energy in the morning if I have worked-out and when I don't I need to eat something else. I appreciate the article. I am going to test the two types of breakfasts over the next few weeks and try working out with both types see what the end result is for me.

Eating food is supposed to make you feel good. Satisfied is the correct word. Why in the world would you want to take something that would make you feel bad??????

Thanks for the Trazadone information. I'll look into it. I have a real struggle getting good sleep.

From someone who has struggled with both overweight and depression, don't go for the pill! When i don't feel good or even mostly good, my desire to carry out a plan evaporates. I doubt that I would be able to stay on any kind of food plan. There are other ways to get help.

Try eating non traditional foods for breakfast such as a tuna sandwich, slice of pizza, last night's dinner leftovers, etc. Even an oatmeal cookie (preferably with walnuts for protein) with your tea is better than nothing. It's SO important to put “fuel” in your body before you hit the road. I don't know anyone who would leave for a road trip without filling up their car with gas, so why then do so many think their bodies will run for hours with no fuel for energy? The brain functions poorly without food, and so does your body. Your blood sugars drop and you can contribute to diabetes by skipping this important meal. Your triglycerides (cause of heart attack) skyrocket when you skip breakfast. Eat something..anything. Once your body gets used to it, it will start demanding it. I eat 2 eggs every single morning. (no they won't raise your cholesterol–look up all the benefits to eggs..the perfect food!) I can go hours with no cravings after this high protein meal. I used to hate eggs, because they upset my stomach, but since I switched to organic free range, they don't bother my stomach at all. Now I can't wait to have them! Sometimes I'll alternate the eggs with a bowl of oatmeal that I cooked the night before. I used to skip breakfast too. (does afternoon fatigue hit you daily?..it sure did me!) Talk yourself into eating something, anything, for breakfast, even if it's only a couple bites..I think you'll find that you develop a morning appetite once you start this small change.

No I would NEVER take a pill to lose weight and increase chances of depression. I love being happy!!
