Keeping things flowing - diet, constipation, low carb and more
Tuesday
I have a habit of getting people started on things - I guess I am so enthusiastic that some people just like to jump right in with me. This was the case about 5 weeks ago when I was desperate and decided to take one more shot at the Atkins High Protein diet.
Well, many of you will remember that I lasted about 2 weeks and felt lousy the whole time and on the second week i GAINED a pound. My mother and my honey jumped right in and followed along, but when I jumped off, they stayed on.
My honey went to the doctor today and in the 5 weeks he lost 16 ounces - NOT pounds - ounces on the Low Carb plan. And my mother is in a worse state - she is 82 years old (and doesn't read this blog, so don't tell her I told you) and she hasn't had a bathroom movement in 3 days.
Boy oh boy am I glad that I am on my nice sensible plan of trying to watch what I eat, making it a nice healthy variety and moving a little more.
I think the two of them we join me soon :) Read more...
