I'm Uk too Cath and struggle to find stuff I managed to mag citrate from Holland and Barrett made by Solgar quite pricey then found them on Amazon a lot cheaper so ordered some on there. Since then I've read the report and they are on the list but it says they have quite a lot of arsenic in them soooo me being an anxiety…

Which form of magnesium is good for sleep as well, I'm taking mag citrate for the irregular bowels and it's working a treat but I am wide awake at night even with a prescribed sleeping tablet zopliclone 7.5mg. I'm so tired but just can't sleep. I am going back to my doctor tomorrow but he doesn't want me on sleeping…

The only one for me I can see easily available in the UK that was tested is a C- mines a D+, think I'll continue with what I've got then research again when I need to restock. I use the magnesium citrate for bathroom issues and after a few days I know they are working properly now

Yikes I thought I'd bought a good one mine's D+

How many grams do you put in your drink

I can't eat breakfast that's probably my trouble, I do night shifts so the first thing I do when I get home is go to bed. At midday I'll sometimes have fried egg and mushrooms or just mushrooms always fried in butter, or Tiana coconut oil my body is weird if I don't eat all day I'm ok but if I do eat something I feel…

Ok great thanks I'll check it out, basically I'm still hungry alot and wondered if it was because my net carbs once fiber is deducted comes up quite small. Most of my food today is meat and veg I would say there isn't much sugar alcohols in it either and just wondered if getting more veg in would help

Well I resisted and managed to keep my carbs to under 20 in the end yesterday, think I will throw the crisps in the bin so they aren't there staring at me when I open the cupboard anymore lol.

Yes you've been of help just by giving your view, I'm new so still learning about everything. I've just posted in another post nothing to do with carbs but I fancied Diet Coke the other day, big mistake even though I felt like I'd had some sugary substance and felt good temporarily my stomach bloated and felt uncomfortable…

Well yes and no I enter everything cos I am interested to see what is actually going into my body on a daily basis and work out what's been a good day. For example the other day I had a glass of Diet Coke, next day I felt really bloated and tummy hard again so didn't drink it again and my tummy feels better again. Add me…

No it wouldn't be 200g all at once it would be what's left of my weekly carb allowance which this week in 6 days I've had 128 so another 25 allowance today brings it to 153 leaving me with 23 carbs I could play with. All i want is a packet of Pom Pom crisps but I know by the time I get my veggies in by tonight I'll be over…

It's worth watching but I didn't agree with some of it especially if your doing Low carb, I've tried the healthy eating like they were promoting with hardly any budge in weight or body fat for a year, I turned to low carb nearly 2 weeks ago a shave lost weight and body fat has gone down and i can see my bloated belly…

Looks like I need more then I took 2 yesterday and 2 about an hour ago and although I know I need to go I can't

Just bought some magnesium citrate yesterday to see if it helps in the regularity department, took my first doseof 400 mg last night, just wondering how long does it take to work roughly.

Would I be cheating by chucking some raw coconut flakes into it or is that ok

Loving the sound of the pancakes, do you have a recipe for them

Hi all Thanks for all your replies. My diary is what I eat part from water I do consume about 3 liters a day plus I drink tea with soya milk, I am loving the idea of the coconut flour pancakes and also the smoothie I wasn't sure if I'd still be able to have smoothies due to carbs as I used to use a lot of carbs in them…

I'm not an every day goer, never have been, all I do know is when I was eating All bran with 25g ground flaxseed a day I was able to go to the loo at least every other day and to put bluntly it was normal, now I'm off the All bran cos there's too many carbs for what I've set myself and only managing 10g of flaxseed cos…

Good informative protocol there thanks for the link. Here's the thing now. I mainly work night shifts and have read some people find magnesium helps with sleep, should I therefore take my magnesium in the morning after a night shift and then in the evenings that I don't do night shifts. For example I work on Thursday…

I'm just about to buy some magnesium citrate is this the right one and can I take it in the morning or is it better at night

Just done it on there and it has helped a lot thanks so much

Yes your right I am from the Uk, I wouldn't be surprised if there wrong quite often I'll scan something and it will either come out with an entirely different product or like u say some of the data is wrong. I am still very new to this so thanks for all your help your giving me

Thanks for the replies. So as an example if my total carbs for today is 30 and my total fibre is 11 then that means I've had 19 grams of net carbs? Does that mean I could have more carbs. My sugar says I've had 23 grams so how would I work that bit out. I'm so excited about this and really want to learn more as I think…

Hi sorry to butt n to the thread, I am a newbie and noticed people talking about net carbs. How would I work this out from my food diary.

Thanks Great help all of you, I've already renamed my meal categories into 6 hour slots but eating after midnight tonight would still go on to tomorrow's log, but that doesn't matter now you've said as long as my net calories at end of week is still on deficit it doesn't matter where I log it.

Ah cool so basically I'll be way under my deficit and tomorrow probably over but it doesn't matter as long as I'll still be within my deficit at end of week is that what your saying ?.

Just bought a crock pot. Can't wait to try these recipes

Definately this, looking at myself I can't see much difference but with the belt I was using the last hole4 weeks ago now I'm on the 3rd nearly 4th hole.

I have a Fitbit charge HR that's why I mentioned the steps. For the first time since I joined my fitness pal to Fitbit my calorie exercises have been In the negative on my fitness pal. It says my goal is 1200, drunk 27 calories then -68 exercise remaining 1105. What does all that mean. On Fitbit I've done 1734 steps and…

Ye I thought so, out of interest how many steps would you say is lightly active
