Re: Diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Meniere's Disease

From your other posts you said you are vegetarian, have low blood pressure and also hypoglycemia.

The number one mistake vegetarians make is not eating enough and under-eating can cause things like low blood pressure and low blood sugar. I believe under-eating also causes Fibro.

According to this government site, for your age you should be getting at least 2,200 calories a day to be active.

A leading vegan site that warns about under-eating recommends at least 2,500 calories a day for women to be active:

The second biggest mistake vegetarians make is eating too much fat. I personally recommend the macronutrient ration of 80-10-10, or 80% or higher in carbs and a max of 10% of calories from protein and fat. Popular high-carb/low-fat diets are Starch Solution, Engine 2, and 80-10-10 (raw vegan). Check out the Raw Till 4 diet too.

Another mistake vegetarians make is eating too much junk food and processed vegetarian soy products.

I would start by making sure you're not under-eating, then go from there. A handy app to help calculate how much you're eating per day:
