My low glycemic approach is supposed to allow fruit (not juice) and vegetables, but probably not root vegetables unless high fibre, and even 'good' carbs (though what they are seems to have different interpretations). Lobster season starts in a few weeks! But maybe I'm getting a little off topic.

Since starting PM, I have noticed a couple of things. First, I was waking up at 3am each morning and having difficulty getting to sleep again. The last three nights I have taken valerian, which happened to be on hand, and it seems to be doing the trick. I have ordered some GABA which is also supposed to help you sleep, and also to help your body produce HGH after going to sleep.

Secondly, I am frequently getting a slight somewhat saline taste in my mouth and lips well away in time from pills or food. At first I poured away a newly opened bottle of mineral water because I thought it must be contaminated, but the taste has continued since, although it may be fading (or I am getting used to it).

The motto I got from a poster (long gone) which was circulated many years ago by, I think and rather improbably, by the Canadian Patent Office. It also included a choice selection of oxymorons, and the one I used may have surfaced from there too, but I can't remember.
