Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 But what about those of us on the other side-- I've had 10-12 BMs a day since I went back on induction. in GA, wondering if this is what is meant by the "whoosh fairy" what dr. atkins says Why is the diet so low in fiber? Will this be a risk for my colon? The diet is low in fiber because most fiber-containing foods are also high in carbohydrates. Don't forget to eat salads. There is a colon risk only if you get quite constipated. Use 2 tbsp of psyllium husks in 2 glasses of water every morning and/or 2 tbsp of unprocessed 's bran if this is a concern. If constipation persists, magnesium oxide may be helpful as well as an herbal laxative tea. While on The Atkins Diet, I’ve experienced constipation. What can I do? Constipation can occur in some people because of reduced fiber consumption during the Induction phase of The Atkins Diet (due to the fact that high fiber foods are also high in carbohydrates). If this occurs, it usually resolves itself after fist few weeks on The Atkins Diet, as the body adjusts to this new eating philosophy. The best way to address this condition is to drink more water. If the problem persists, refer to Dr. Atkins’ book, New Diet Revolution, for his recommended natural remedies.Please visit our homepage at http://members.xoom.com/AChallengersYou will find information, recipes, before and after pictures.To contact the list owner please send mail to lindag@...Visit our 2000 Train Tour Site - http://www.brunnet.net/k & l/web_site_train_tour/actraintour.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 That happened to me the first time I did Atkins...go figure! Every time I ate protein...so that is why I am baffled by the lack thereof. And good question....I was never able to solve that problem till I went on OWL. But what about those of us on the other side-- I've had 10-12 BMs a day since I went back on induction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2001 Report Share Posted January 11, 2001 If you are having trouble with constipation, it might be something you might not suspect. I stopped eating beef in college. After starting LC, I decided to try eating it again. Well...I came to discover that it made stuphs kind of -- not work As soon as I stopped eating beef...the problem went away. -Jeanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
