Hi all! Hope Tuesday is treating you well.
Had a meeting this morning at the church with a computer guy about upgrading and backup options. What I know about all that stuff is minimal, so my head is spinning, lol. I'm pleased to report that I am finally sleeping better! My chiropractor/coach found a cal-mag that is the same ratio (or something scientific-sounding!) as the IP version. It's a powdered formula that took some getting used to but it's making a difference so I am thrilled! Dangeron- congrats on the NSV with the capris! "Closet shopping" is always fun. |
I have having a hard time with the products! I have tried the following with no luck:
-Cx noodle Soup -Tomato Basil Rotini -Strawberry-Banana Drink -pancakes -broccoli /cheese soup I hated all of them. So, what do people do? Just keep drinking choc shakes, the capp drinks and the bbque ridges and lemon wafers? I just can't find products that taste good. I have been on it for 3 weeks! HELP! |

-milk and dark choc pudding (I put some sea salt on them...sometimes freeze them slightly for a ice-cream like treat -raspberry jelly (jell-o): this one surprised me...I also semi-freeze this one -mango-peach drink packet...this tastes like a mixed drink, easy to down when you're in a hurry I am now adding alternatives into the mix for myself and enjoy some of them a lot: Proti-Diet Cinnamon Oatmeal, Quest Bars (these are restricted) and the EAS advantage (low carb) RTD shakes. I have found that's it's really important to make sure that my REAL food is flavorful and creative....then I don't get as bothered by the "boring" IP food. THere's a lot of good IP recipe and "fun with IP packets" threads to give you ideas how to make eating FUN and delicious! |
Chipndip- :carrot: yay I can go back to using 2 cups again!!! I just LOVE that stuff!!!!!
OK, so I have no idea why I had the runs...lol |
The last two days have been more than a struggle. Not getting in all my veggies, water or supplements. It isn't that I am not hungry , I just don't want anything that I have and too busy or too tired to fill my glass. I really get tired of cooking. I didn't put anything bad in my mouth at least.
Back OP now, although left work unprepared so had to go to the work cafeteria and buy a salad - picking out all the little carrot pieces. Down to only two pairs of capris that actually fit. Gave away all the others, so can't stop now! |

Magnesium is a laxative. And it CAN be absorbed through the skin. My naturopathic doctor had me take epsom salt baths to raise my magnesium level. Quote:

I liked the creamy chicken or mushroom soups with pureed veggies in them. I made my pancakes from banana pudding mix (or wild berry yogurt or lemon pudding - or oatmeal. Others make theirs from the crispy rice). I have a chocolate pudding shake/smoothie almost every day for breakfast. I I like the omelets with veggies added (can you tell I make "additions" to just about everything?). The potato puree makes a great "bread" or is good with mashed cauliflower in it. That is just a few ideas I had |
I have a ticker now! Woohooo!
That is all... :D |

Lisa- Sucralose!! MIO!!! I bet that was it!!!! and can too much magnesium hurt you?? |

But an imbalance of any nutrient can throw off the balance of other nutrients. |

Personally I love the broc/cheese but ONLY when I add my 2 cups of veggie puree. It makes a really nice creamy soup For the pancakes, I use the crispy rice -- roll it with a rolling pin, add an egg white and 1/2 tsp baking powder and have NR pancakes The regular rotini I love -- don't see any difference to a regular noodle. It makes me feel "normal" to eat that one :) IP omelettes, again with veggies added, are good. Your tastes WILL adjust to that fake flavour but some products you just learn not to get. I like the ready made shakes and puddings over the packages, but the packages you can bake into cookies (same recipe as above for pancakes LOL) Experiment but don't give up. And try things in a few weeks -- your tastes will change... |
So, looking forward to weighing in on Friday. I need to keep motivated and I must admit this website is addicting. Thank you!

Ah but it's a GOOD addiction. When I want to eat, I come here and read a few posts... helps give my brain a new focus....
(maybe that explains why I post so much...I always want to eat! LOL) |
