Roy,
Are soynuts better than nuts because they have less oil? Is there anything else high in protein that I can snack on during the day away from home to keep my blood sugar levels even? And I know rice cakes are pretty yang, but would they be better than whole wheat chapatis to carry with me?
Something funny happened, which is that today, the day after you suggested I quit eating sesame butter (tahini sauce was a big thing for me) I discovered my jar of it had had fermented for some strange reason, something I'd never known to happen before.
The comments about my digestion were right on, because I frequently have trouble in this area, often contributing to my trouble sleeping.
There are two other aspects of my insomnia that I realized last night and was wondering if you had any insight on. One is a feeling in my nerves, a mild but annoying jagged, wiry, pulsing feeling that causes little muscles to twitch all over my body when I'm trying to fall asleep. The other is an inability to eat enough before I go to bed somehow, so that even if I feel full at dinner and feel full after a snack an hour later, I end up getting out of bed at least once and often twice to eat something because my stomach feels gnawingly empty. Even then sometimes I remain hungry enough to have it bother me. This I think is related to the sensation in my nerves.
Thank you,
Mara
