But I'm no dietitian! (I just wanted to be one in my pre-librarian life when I remembered I suck at science :) ) If you love Frosted Shredded Wheat, there might be other brands that are less fortified. Maybe organic brands? I don't remember what my brand was, it might have been Trader Joe's.. but that was a while ago. I have switched to eggs in an attempt to control my ADHD, not for nutritional reasons per se. But eggs also have iron! And yes, I think your fatique is PROBABLY related to not sleeping for 8 hours most nights!! Safe bet!! :)B-Spehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336651197973742212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335707916615529203.post-54835373060606677392012-04-19T23:55:27.698-07:002012-04-19T23:55:27.698-07:00Beth!

I wonder if drinking more soy milk than cow's milk has anything to do with this?<br /><br />I am trying to cut back on meat, so this just gives me another reason to do so. And I LOVE frosted shredded wheat, so I'm definitely going to need to look into my cereal...<br /><br />Thanks so much for the link. It is so interesting. What's weird is that I don't have nay of the symptoms, except fatigue, but I think that is due to not sleeping for 8 hours most nights.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661495172918387184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335707916615529203.post-83970310093876028672012-04-18T16:44:45.549-07:002012-04-18T16:44:45.549-07:00Excessive fiber also blocks iron absorption, and c...Excessive fiber also blocks iron absorption, and citrus fruits, and calcium. <br /><br />Iron is mostly found in meat, so if you are trying to cut back, maybe you could cut back on meat. If you're into cereal, check out how much iron is in it -- I thought I wasn't getting ENOUGH iron for a while, and then I saw that my frosted shredded wheat was fortified with 90% of my daily value per serving! Most cereals don't have quite this much, but it's worth checking. Also, apparently, you aren't supposed to drink much: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001368/<br /><br />-Beth Spencer :)B-Spehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336651197973742212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335707916615529203.post-50286997839815090712012-04-09T12:25:54.763-07:002012-04-09T12:25:54.763-07:00Thanks Ryan!

Do you have a favorite vegetarian meal/recipe? I have started to collect some to incorporate more into my diet...and perhaps one day I'll go completely vegetarian!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661495172918387184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335707916615529203.post-23967682119704132402012-04-06T00:08:04.707-07:002012-04-06T00:08:04.707-07:00sorey this isn't quite related here but I saw ...sorey this isn't quite related here but I saw your post on a weight loss blog about wanting to be vegan and not thinking you could and YOU TOTALLY CAN!
