I think it's Mercola who says if you're experiencing cravings or tiredness, you're not eating for your nutritional type. (I'm always tired in the late afternoon & get my 2nd wind around dinnertime.) So I'm wondering if I'm eating totally wrong. But I'm not sure what I can change without going to meat. I don't think I can go there, despite the fact that my family eats it.

OT

Most cottage cheese has a list about a mile long. It could have been any of those additives/preservatives/whatchamacallits in there that you reacted to and not the dairy itself.

Now, if you reacted to Daisy full-fat cottage cheese(milk, culture, salt), or even their lower-fat(that has some sort of extra, but not the mile long list), then I would say it was the dairy that you reacted to.

I too wonder who is "right". Just because of the GMO thing, I am not a soy person(or a GM corn person), and I have a history of allergy to legumes so I'm not real big on beans(though I think we eat them more often than the average American---once or twice a week plus leftovers). And I know I felt way better when I was no-grains...though I did crave a cracker or a roll here and there...
