The Fiber Problem:
Today I woke up and my weight is now 206lbs. I finally realized that we are not all the same. What works for some in this BFC, will not work for others. I am 1 of those others. I need alot of fiber. If I don't injest a ton of fiber, I can't go #2. If I can't go #2, I won't loose any weight. Ahh - such is the circle of the BFC life.
I never had a problem going #2 before I started this. I always went every morning, just like clockwork. By omiting certain things from my daily diet, it's made me very constipated.
Here is my daily intake of fiber:
clear metamucil in my morning coffee
4 psyllium capsules and 2 acidophilus along with all my morning vitamins
Then my food intake
A shake made of water, protien powder and 2 tbsp psyllium husks between lunch and dinner. You got to suck it up very fast thru a straw.
Always drink as much water as I can
I know it sounds kind of extreme, But this is what my body needs to be able to go #2 every day.
You might be like me - I don't know.
Thanks for listening. Please leave comments.
My thought for today. Even though I am going thru hard times personnally, I have not cheated with food. I am proud of myself.
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Ditto on your "thought for the day."
ReplyDeleteA lot of people have this #2 problem when they cut carbs. Taking a magnesium supplement before bed often helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start this diet tomorrow. I have been eating VLC for awhile now but, I'm starting to miss some of the foods I cooked before low carb. I feel this is a way to cut down carbs without eliminating them completely.
Way to go with your weight loss!
Hey great job on the weight loss and keep it up! I just stared BFC and have the same fibre problem I always had that though, anyways the instruction on my husk capsule say to have it 30-60 minutes before food but it doesn't seem to work.
ReplyDeleteSo i wanted to ask you if you have it before and after food and if you have it 3xper day.
Thanks
Thank you for posting this! My husband and I will be officially starting this eating plan soon! I too could see myself developing this problem, so I guess it will be off to the store I go to buy my Metamucil! :-)
