I don't honestly know whether it's helping. I'm the world's worst scientist -- I tried everything at once. I don't know what effects each thing has.
Heck, I don't know what effects the whole pile has together. I look back at how I felt when I ran a half mile, and I'm definitely better than I was then, but I also haven't run a half mile recently. Would I have recovered from that the same way if I weren't trying all this crap? I don't know.
Of course, avoiding sugar is probably a very healthy decision for me ANYway, since diabetes runs wild in my family. So I'll still try to eat less sugar.
I hear you about survival mode. Sometimes just getting through the day is crazymaking. If you have a tiny bit of energy, sometimes you can use that to do a tiny healthy-choice thing, and maybe it'll pay off in terms of more energy later... but it feels sort of like trying to buy a bank CD with a few pennies, doesn't it? Yowza can it ever be slow to start.
