I was told to use Miralax and colasce to start, after several days, no joy, was told to try the mag citrate, that made me sick and I lost my mojo, finally was told to try good ol milk of mag, that got things moving! But had the stomach flu the last couple of days....not awesome

Dumb question- is anyone eating ANY fat? I just realized that the last three days, I've consumed ZERO fat. Anyone else? My NUT said fat free/low fat products, but doesn't the body need some fat to absorb some Vitamins?

Maybe I'm over analyzing it this early.....

I think good fat is really important in a diet, although at the moment I am using 0% fat products I hope to move up to full fat as I go along and depending on how well my body tolerates it. This morning I tried 0% fat total yoghurt thinned down with full fat milk and a smidge of honey. I will see how that goes. I would like to be using full fat natural yoghurt, milk, butter etc in the future. My weight issues come from Portion Control and binges but generally through unprocessed good quality food.< /p>
