Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I forgot to mention I take GNC Women Supplements twice daily so I get my recommended 500 grams of Calcium daily. However, I have noticed that potassium is not incorporated in the supplement. I also use stool softener (OTC) to try to maintain some regularity.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Right off the top the red flags I see are: ice cream, honey mustard sauce, carrots (not until ph 2). I wouldn't call 2 days a stall, some people stall for months. You've lost 5 lbs in 4 days, thats great! There is a ton of info on the net, just do a goole search for south beach diet, it will hold you over until your book gets there. I think you need more veggies as well, not sure what your salads are made with. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Calcium: RDA for most adults - 1,000 milligrams daily; for teen- agers - 1,300 milligrams; for those over age 50 - 1,200 milligrams. Highest food sources are dairy and calcium-fortified orange juice. Are you rec. to take less calcium? Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 You're right. I meant I meet 500 mg supplements that is recommended by South Beach. However, I know that I pick up the other 500 mg in my food. Thanks for pointing out that misquote.
