I've been on eating a small yam or small sweet potato every day now as well. I take my sweet time on those bites. Fried, roasted? Way more classy than my shoving a weeks supply of potatoes in the oven. I find myself low carb regardless of what I do. It's tough to eat 100- 200 carb grams from berries every day. I've been trying to add about 4-5 scoops dextrose daily to make up for the lack of carbs but it's just too sweet. Really good though with coconut flakes, egg yolks, cocnut flour, lots of ccnt oil, vanilla and raisins. I just mash it all together and pop them in some strangely shaped ice cube trays. Freeze them. Eat them cold. I'm so deprived that those are actually really delicious for me!

I don't have the intense dreams like before but I do get a deep sleep. Still waking from pain but maybe not moving AT ALL for 7 hours is partially the culprit. I don't feel that the probiotics change anything sleep-wise. I've been doing them(with 4tbs RS) at hour 15 of my 16 hour fast. No issues at all. I exercised yesterday, didn't fast and took the mix 30 mins before my breakfast. I got really gassy but no discomfort this time around. Timing and/or food intake makes a big difference for me.

Are you able to order prescript assist etc. in New Zealand? They won't ship it to Canada but I can drive over to The States in less than an hour.
