Thanks for all the input! 
I feel like I've done so much research, but clearly still a long ways off from knowing what the hell I'm doing. LOL This thread could be a sticky with the title "What NOT to do" LOL! 
I kind of thought my program was probably a bit off but had reasoning (or attempts out of desperation, lol) for everything I was doing...
Body Temp - My body temp is low, I've been taking the l-tyrosine and kelp since january, and it hasnt' changed. Which is why I increased those to 3 and 2 twice a day. I had no idea too much kelp could cause problems! :S I'm taking the nature's sunshine brand of kelp and the only info I can find on the bottle and on the site is each capsule contains 525 mg of kelp...how does this compare to mcg?
Taking the pills at the same time in the evening - I got an email from Julie @ BB saying that is what worked for herself and her sister. When I started to get discouraged I recalled reading that after a couple months, some people needed to increase to 3/day, although not to stay on 3/day permanently. So I thought I'd just throw that extra one in with the other 2 in the evening. Wow, this is all sounding so stupid now...lol
Protein - I'm having 2 shakes per day of 26g of protein in each serving. Could the protein I'm taking have anything to do with it? This is what i'm taking... http://4everfit.com/product.php?id=3
So, here's the new plan....I'm going to stop everything and do a liver/gallbladder flush. Now, do I do just the Milk Thistle or an actual liver cleanse such as this.. http://www.breathing.com/articles/liver-cleanse.htm ? Then when I start again, here's the new program:
Morning on an empty stomach
l-tyrosine (gotta find out how much is in my capsules)
1 kelp
1 bb
then an hour later my protein.
about an hour before supper
1 bb
later in the evening after my workout
another protein shake.
Does that look a little better?? At the beginning of this whole journey I had full intentions of keeping it simple, and suddenly my program became so screwed up! LOL Oh well, round 2, here I come!!
