Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 Sue, I made the same mistake after I finished induction, I thought I would stay on induction levels and keep the weight coming off fast, it doesn't work, it will stall you. I added fat and about 5-10 more carbs a day and went back to losing again, not as fast though, about a pound a week. You can't expect to lose as fast much as you did the 1st 2 weeks, as with any diet, you start to kinda level off and lose slower. I hope this helps!! ) Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/156.5/130 Goal for TG ----- 154 !!!!!!!!Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 But yesterday was my last day of induction...I hadn't even gotten into OWL Also, has anyone experienced leg cramps? The book said night leg cramps, but I'm having them all day long. And finally, where can you find the latest posts? Digest 648 is the last that shows up, yet I've received emails from new posts. Am I having a blond moment??? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 Sue, Leg cramps are a sign of low potassium, get a supplement, and as for the digest, maybe if you hit reload or refresh on your browser. Sorry I can't help you more on the fat thing, maybe some one else could help??? Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/156.5/130 Goal for TG ----- 154 !!!!!!!!Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 Sue -- Are you taking vitamins? On this woe it's essential to take supplements. I was taking scads of vitamins before I started this woe, so my list of vits might be a bit different from other folks, though I would be happy to post it if someone thinks it might be helpful. The short list for leg cramps is potassium and calcium. Be careful with potassium, it also regulate cardiac rhythms and such so too much or too little can be a problem. I think Dr. A has a new-ish book regarding vitamins, if you're looking for a source. You might also try mothernature.com; there's a dandy vitamin page on that site. http://mothernature.com/ " >Click here: MotherNature.com - Natural Products. Healthy Advice. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 I'm taking a mega multi, plus Flax seed oil, and a mag, pot, calcium combo. I already have heart palps, so I wouldn't notice the difference! Do you happen to know what is considered a daily requirement for pottasium?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 1999 Report Share Posted November 7, 1999 Sue, At a web site I just found yesterday, I don't know if you got that e-mail yesterday morn with all the links in it, but it says there 1500-2000. Also it maybe that you have too much potassium, If you already have heart palps, maybe you should go to the Dr and get advice. It is a simple blood test to check it??

Guest guest Posted November 7, 1999 Report Share Posted November 7, 1999 That is great!!!! How long have you been on the diet/how long has it taken you to lose this much? I am just looking for some inspiration. Talked to lady last night from Wisconsin who has lost 95 lb. since Sept of 1998. Her cholesterol dropped from 304 to 116 in 3 months. These stories give me a lot of hope and determination. Cyn 274/258.5/150ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 1999 Report Share Posted November 7, 1999 Hi Sue - I used to get terrible leg cramps too. My doctor suggested additional calcium and magnesium and it worked like a charm! I take two 500calcium with D and one 250magnesium tabs. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 1999 Report Share Posted November 7, 1999 Hi Cyn! I've been on the diet since Jan 99. My cholesterol has stayed about the same, but I've always had good numbers. Trigl- 73, col-137,HDL-51, LDL-71 and the Ratio is 2.69. I was taken off of my high blood pressure medicine last June after years of being a slave to the pills! Of course now I am popping all these vitamins, but that is ok...I feel so much better and that is the most important thing. A funny thing happened to me the other day. My DH and I went to a b-day party for one of his co-workers. This was a big affair with lots of people at a very up-scale eatery. A private room had been reserved and we were really dressed up! (I had to go out and buy a great outfit and I have to admit that I looked really good!) ANYWAY, when we walked in, one of Dave's co-workers came up to talk to him, but just kept glancing at me with a dismayed look on his face, and finally introduced himself to me! I laughed so hard - he didn't recognize me and boy was he embarrassed....he said he wondered why Dave was bringing a strange woman to the party! He was so embarrassed so I know he was serious! It was fun! Kay in Idaho 255-183-170 Re: Eating fat From: ORIGCN@... That is great!!!! How long have you been on the diet/how long has it taken you to lose this much?
