Questions for low carbers: are any of you ldrinking metamucil? I have a spoonful in my water every a.m. and also take a multi-vitamin.

I am getting some leg cramps at night---memories of being pregnant--so I'm thinking that I need more potassium. I used to eat a banana every day with my cereal). Anyone else have this issue?

Jeanne, I do the multi-vitamin plus I also take a potassium supplement everyday. I just started the supplement about three days ago because I am so exhausted feeling. I guess this way of eating can lower potassium levels and one of the first signs can be tiredness and leg cramps. They also suggest sprinkling your food with morton lite salt. As far as the metamucil, I am not needing it. I can not believe how often I need to run to the little girls room!

BTW: you are doing SUPE R on the weight loss! My loss is not near what yours is, but I can feel a difference in the way my clothing fits.

Lost 1 pound last week for a total of 11.....4 to go for my Easter goal.
Jeanne.....GREAT JOB!!!!!

I concocted an OP soup this weekend and thought I'd share it. I know most people only eat soup in the winter, but I love it year round.

This is my version of cream of chicken soup:

Bring 2 cans of chicken broth to a boil. Stir in a small carton of heavy whipping cream. Add chopped green onions and diced chicken. I like black pepper and garlic powder added to mine.

When I make it again, I am going to add some salsa to it to make a chicken tortilla soup(sans the tortilla of course!)
