This is a copy of a recent post that I made at About forums regarding induction
Hi yogi,
Well firstly don’t beat yourself up. This is a sort of thing that happens to everybody from time to time. The crucial thing is that you got back on track despite the hiccup.
Yes you could go back into induction but if you’re still seeing the weight go down, then you’ll probably just as well continuing where you left off.
Hope that helps,
Mark
Below is a copy of the recent comment I made at 3fatchicks about a question on constipation
Hi Aarrixx,
I eat hardly any vegetables and don’t suffer with constipation at all but what I do is make sure that my stomach bacteria have been salted out and are kept well fed.
So on a fairly regular basis as when needed I take a good quality probiotics and I keep them well fed by having natural home made yogurt made with unpasteurized milk and from time to time also take enzymes for the stomach that way everything is kept nicely in order but not a Psyllium husk in sight.
Cheers,
Mark
Here is another copy of the comment I made at 3fatchicks regarding breakfast choices
Let’s just say we don’t have to follow tradition to decide what we eat and when.
I quite often have colt meat and cheese for breakfast. Some mornings I’ll have cottage cheese and avocado. Other morning it’ll be bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and all sort of good things like that and I like eggs so I will have an egg with that.
There are so many things we can eat fro breakfast providing we don’t follow our own Western traditions.
Just use your imagination because you really don’t have to go to work on an egg.
Cheers,
Mark
Below is a copy of the comment I made at 3fatchicks on a question about Atkins bar
Hi Aarrixx,
I’ve never eaten an Atkins bar because, one, I don’t like the ingredients, two, I’m always suspicious of the claims of net carbs; and three, our neighbor’s dog wouldn’t eat them so that tells me something.
Cheers,
Mark
Here is a copy of the comment I made over at lowcarber’s on a post regarding health services in the States
Hi Ann,
$237.00 to visit a doctor and that’s just so you can sit there and talk with them. Gosh! That’s a lot of money!
I haven’t been to a doctor for 38 years so I had to ask my friends how much it costs here and they tell me the standard fee is 25.00 EUR which is about $34.00 and that’s without insurance. So you’re paying 6 or 7 times as much. Whichever way you look at it does seem like a lot of money.
Some people don’t even earn that much in a week but it does seem like the medical system in the States is geared up to charge high fees for doing not a lot though I think the advice of others on the forum to order your tests privately and to see if your health insurance will cover it is probably a good starting point.
As for firing your doctor, well that’s only a decision that you can make but I certainly would start looking around for a doctor that can adequately deal with the health concerns you might have and who understands the advantages of a low carb way of eating.
The bottom line is make sure you do the best for you.
Hope that helps,
Mark
