New to CR - need help!

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is Sky and I'm new to CR although in some respects I've

been practicing for years (probably without the Optimal Nutrition part.)

My diet (I'm known for my food-fussiness) is quite good, but I'm not

sure if I can get all the nutrients which I need packed into my

800-1000 calorie/day regimen.

Here is some info: I'm 5'5 " , weigh 100 lbs. (give or take 2 lbs. in

either direction.) I am 45 years of age. I have a small frame. I

exercise moderately, but never vigorously, but I have good muscle tone

and my health is good except for some gallstones, which bother me

particularly after holidays.

I presently take LEF Mix caps, and I am working my way up to the

14-cap portion (I have found that the niacin bothers me and dries my

skin when I " flush " , so I'd like to avoid that.) I take other

supplements as well: sockeye salmon oil 3gms; tocotrienols and gamma E

tocopherols; borage oil 300mg; Coenzyme Q-10 100mg; astaxanthin 4mg;

R-dihydro-lipoic acid 150mg; Maitake D fraction, and probiotics.

I've had problems finding Walford software that is compatible with my

Mac, so that hasn't worked out, but I am very concerned about

optimizing my nutrition.

I am going to be working my way through the files, and I'd love to

share my " techniques " and observations (though I'm not much of a

scientist) and hope to learn a lot here.

Sky
