It's sunny here and I have dozens of crocuses in bloom and hundreds of
daffodil greens above ground. No butterflies yet, but saw my first robin
about three weeks ago.
Natural sunshine is great, but you may not convert it to D3 very well.

Absolutely. The Ornish diet is what caused me to develop severe IR,
PCOS in midlife, severe labile ht and dyslipidemia and peripheral
neuropathies. Eventually, I became too nauseated to eat, due to the
adrenal suppressive effects of hyperinsulinemia it caused, too.

I wait until they grow up into chickens before eating mine.
Hmmm, almond encrusted chicken in coconut oil, that'll do for

So many times people (self included) are accused of noncompliance, or
worse, when the applied diet makes them worse.
It's also far from uncommon for people to find a real diet that works

all eating grass and looking totally healthy.
I also checked out the sheep who are now popping out lambs nineteen to

I try to get Real Sunshine. But yes I guess I should experiment more.
Some people find it works best in the evening and others in the
morning, probably again differing effects on the hormone cascade and
cortisol is almost certainly in there somewhere along with the
melatonin/serotonin balance, and probably vitamin D levels too

I'm more than a little convinced from my own dietary history that the
reduction in fat had as much effect as the increase in grains.
Something about that specific combination switched me from progressing
slowly to progressing fast.
