Thank you everyone who took the time to help me out on my question
about
getting rid of the grain.  The last two days I've been having an
avocado
for dinner.  I'm making a guacamole type cold "soup" mix with the avo,
some tomatos, garlic, and a lot of parsley minced into it.  Delish!  I
scoop it with celery, kale and such.  I found that that really did
ease
the cravings I had and also kept me from getting up in the midddle of
the night foraging for something to eat, which would often happen if I
had had only veggies or fruit for dinner.  I also find having a young
coconut, the water and fat blended with some papaya or banana does the
trick.  But the avo has a denser and richer filling appeal for me.
Thai
avos are light green, and almost perfectly round.  They can be hard to
find sometimes, as they are only grown in the North (Chiang Mai) and
aren't really popular with Thai people.  They also have some Aussie
avos
but I think they have been refridgerated a long time.

The "rare food rotational diet" was mentioned in one of the replies to
my post.  Could one of you elucidate for me what that is?  I'm always
into learning something new.

I as a rule don't eat animal flesh.  Several of you though have
suggested shrimp, fish, even meat.  I would consider it, but am a bit
paranoid about putting a dead animal in my mouth without knowing for
sure that it is clean, especially here in Thailand where god knows who
has been handling the product.  I was thinking I could get some small
shrimps or some fish, and "cook" it in a lime juice/garlic/chile mix.
I
remember having something like this on the southern pacific coast of
Mexico.  Ceviche, I think it was called.  I assume that using that
kind
of "fire" with the shrimp or fish would be ok combining-wise?

Now that I think of it, they have a dish here called "Dancing Shrimp"
It's a mix of all kinds of fresh herbs including I think lemongrass,
basil, mint, etc., plus the hot mix of chile, garlic and lime juice I
mentioned above.  They throw a bunch of tiny live shrimp into the mix,
and stir it up.  Then they put a thin metal lid over the bowl.  When
it
comes to the table, the shrimp are "dancing", actually being burned
alive in the mixture and jumping to get out of it, banging against the
lid with very audible tings, dancing their last dance.  They are still
wiggling a little when they go into the mouth.  I couldn't eat it.
Personally, too much bad karma going on there...
