I’m on Exemestane. That’s not one of the options in the box above. It makes me tired. Not if I’m driving or walking or doing someing. If I’m listening to a lecture or sitting in church, sometimes the tiredness hits. Doctors say it’s one of the side effects.

Diet Continued Views: 111

I want to tell you what is in the salad I eat for lunch.
Romaine lettuce, sliced baby carrots, grape tomatoes, (They are the only ones I can get that truly taste like a tomato should taste.), Garbonza beans, advacado, two tablespoons of shredded cheese, hard boiled egg sliced, and some chicken breast. I wasn’t using the chicken, but I need the protien. I use Mortons salt substitute – comes in tiny salt shakers a little over three ounces. Slim For Life put us on that, and because I have an undiscriminating palatte, it tastes the same to me. Kraft Catalina Free Dressing. My friend with lung cancer says there are better dressings without as much sugar. I haven’t looked into it yet, but will. I love this salad. More…
