[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1132243, member: 41816"] Well, cocoa should (obviously) be treated as an entire Food Group in itself. ;) I have tried a number of different eating regimes along the way (35 years of trying to find something that works) and I have eaten my share of superfoods (especially in my green smoothie phase). I am sure that there are lots of them that give helpful trace elements, but for me, the thing that has made the biggest and best difference is cutting those carbs down low enough to get rid of the RH symptoms. Nowadays, I look on it as a whole lifestyle thing. Enough exercise, water, sleep, good, fresh, varied, low carb foods, no more than (insert your personal no.) grams of carbs. Minimal processed foods. I found I was Vit D deficient (lab test), so supplement that, with K2 (so the Vit D actually works). Also take chromium, potassium, magnesium, omega 3 (krill) oil. and alpha lipoic acid. But all those supplements are because I did research, tried them and found I felt better because of them. I don't do the eating-supplements-like-sweets-thing, because I feel that kind of scattergun effect often does more harm than good. Have you seen this link: It kind of captures the essence of my thoughts about eating nowadays. [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] And it certainly works for me. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the weight loss - but then I have other hormone stuff going on other than RH which kind of muddies the waters, so don't have high expectations of it in that department [/QUOTE]
