    I also think I might be constipated?


    This could be, and most likely is because you are not drink enough water! you should be drinking 1/2 of your body weight in ounces a day. Otherwise you may have too much fiber, and not enough fluid to move that cleansing fiber out of the body properly. Balance is absolute in any lifestyle. Consuming more fiber then your body is use to can bind you if you are not drinking enough fluid to make it movable.

    Also my eating the rainbow is everything from Avocado to Zucchini. The only veggie I do not like is cucumber, I do eat more veggies than fruit to keep sugars down seeing as I am trying to watch that too. I will say the natural sugars are a better choice though.

    I would keep eating the rainbow. Give it a week or two and you will feel great.

    I agree. Tropical fruit is my favourite.

    I think that could be too much - I definitely feel ill (and that unpleasantly full, but not energized feeling) if I eat that many!

    Thank you all, again!

    Nancy, I think you are actually very right. What you say makes perfect sense. Half my weight in water would be around 125 oz and at most I have gotten 80 oz but average around 64+ oz. I am going to try and increase my water intake as well. Thank you so much! and YAY someone else who knows who Dr. Furhman is. I feel like I am talking to a wall sometimes :laugh:

    Your welcome! I had to do a ton of research when I was trying to find compatible foods for my family. I have a mother who is diabetic, a son who has high cholesterol, and a picky husband with liver, and pancreas issues. So I probably know a little about most life style options, but am far from verse in all. I am learning too! So happy I could teach someone else, and hoping to gain more knowledge from others! I am always looking for new support friends!
