First of all, I should tell you.  I am not offering medical advice – just a blog of my own experiences.  Before starting any diet or a new way of eating, you should always consult your doctor.

One of the most common reactions to this way of living is becoming constipated.  This happened to me the last time I tried this. So far, it’s not an issue, maybe because on my eating days I get enough fibre?  However, should you run into this, here are a few suggestions:

  • Drink lots of water.  This will help to soften the stool
  • Probiotics – give yourself the flora your gut needs
  • Some people say magnesium helps
  • Stool softeners
  • Smooth Move tea
  • Psyllium husk (capsules) and magnesium

Today is my diet day and will consist of the 3 Premier Protein Drinks as well as a handful of baby carrots.

This is my 7th day. I am down 14.8 pounds / 6.71 kg.  My fasting glucose is 6.1 mmol/L.
