[QUOTE="zand, post: 1862279, member: 85197"] Hi, you sound very like me a few years ago. I used to manage to struggle out to buy healthy food and then had to throw it out days later because I had no energy left to cook it. I am still trying to sort out the mess in the house left over from those bad years when I didn't live, I just existed. Have you had your thyroid and vit D levels checked? I had an insufficiency of vit D and once this was addressed my energy levels improved. Maybe a multi vitamin would help to address any other deficiencies? One ready meal (the only one!) that I found helpful and to my liking and lowish carb is cauliflower cheese. Nuts are good too and for me replaced crisps when I need to just open a packet for a snack. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? I have to say mine was no help at all and made me feel even more useless, but maybe yours would be more understanding? The keys for me were seeing a naturopath (because my doctor didn't help), having counselling (which unearthed the reason I was feeling so bad) and well you know the next one....low carbing. I understand you don't have the time, money or energy for the first two but maybe you could try having more fat so that you don't feel so hungry (would your liver be OK with that?) Have butter with the cold meat for breakfast to stop the hunger pangs later on? I find that a coffee with cream acts as a good alternative to a snack. Drinking water helps too. Sorry, I have a lot of empathy/sympathy for you, but not much practical advice. I hope others will come along with some ideas to help you. :) [/QUOTE]
