Ashley, I found that eating LESS has really helped my
skin.  This really stops the greasiness.  Sometimes I
feel a bit weak but it seems to work pretty well.

I have come to the conclusion that I crave fruit
because I am not having starch.  I believe that MY
body does NEED quite a few carbs.  If I don't get
enough, I start feeling very nauseous.  So I would fix
that problem by eating a lot of fruit.  But this
turned into fruit binge sessions.  I decided to add a
little bit of rice and potato/sweet potato back into
my diet.  This seems to make me feel a LOT better, and
I don't crave fruit.  As my ancestors are
Scottish/Irish I think I might try adding back some
oats too...

I am not sure about how these added starches are
affecting my body though.  I haven't noticed any sore
joints or acne return.  Adding wheat DEFINATELY makes
a difference though.  I'm staying away from that.  My
depression seems to have returned a little but I'm not
sure if it's from my eating plan or what.
