Permalink  
 

Hello, biggrin

My name is Dana and I am a single mum of 3 small children. I am really overweight and I have tried several diets and none of them have worked. I have been on the acai slim program for 1 week now..

I am taking 4 A/S and 2 CC, i have found that I am a little constipated, Has anyone got any suggestions?

I have read many posts from you all, I think that you have done really well. I hope that that I can
meet all of you if thats okay!!!.

I am 87 kg and I am hoping that I can loose 25 kg. I am so glad that I found this web site.

Take Care.

Dana

Hi danag.. Welcome to the forum.. :)
If you are constipated try to increase your c/c intake you can up your dose up to 4 c/c and see how you go with that.. :)
Congrats with your weight loss, I'm happy for you too.. Keep up the good work.. Just stay focused and have a healthy diet and exercise as well.. :) Good luck.. :)

Hello there DanaG! Welcome to the forum. :) It seems like the product is working on you. Congrats on that! And Congrats on your weight loss! How are you? Here are some tips to avoid constipation.

* Gradually get your bowels used to more dietary fiber. Start for example with a breakfast containing grain flakes, a little wheat bran, yogurt and fruit.
* Make sure your liquid intake is adequate, i.e. at least 2 liters (8 glasses) a day.
* Make sure you take enough physical exercise.
* Foods containing lactic acid have a beneficial effect on intestinal activity (yogurt etc.)
* In the morning, on an empty stomach, drink 1 glass of orange juice or 1 glass of water or the juice of dried plums or figs that have been softened the previous evening.
* Avoid constipating food, such as white rice, bananas, bilberries, chocolate, strong black tea, cooked carrots (raw carrots combat constipation)

I just wanted to help. Good luck :)

hmmmm, I don't think we can substitute sweets for chocolates, they both have heaps of sugar and fats, that won't work, trust me !

HAHAHA I agree dinkidi. Lets face it all the chocolates are bad for you. Most Junk food is..

Sam think about it this way. every chocolate you eat, goes on the waste line. Every time I look at chocolate now thats all I think about is how fat it will make me hahahaha.

Its a possibility Bell sam may feel that dark chocolate is better for you. *shrugs* hmm not sure what you meant either sam sorry. confuse.gif

Base on my research, chocolate is often seen as a luxury or a treat but dark chocolate actually contains some essential ingredients necessary for a healthy balanced diet.
So if you want to eat chocolates, go for the dark ones :)

Georgia - I don't think it's a good idea to come on here and tell people they can eat dark chocolate because it's good for them.

I also did some research and here this what I found:

 When it comes to chocolate, the best kind when you are watching your weight is anything in a small portion! Seriously, it's calories in and calories out when it comes to losing weight. Chocolate CAN be a smart indulgence, IF you choose a monitored portion. First, only eat chocolate if that's a treat food that you like - the health benefits to dark chocolate come with eating nearly a quarter of a pound every day, so don't think you're choosing a "health food" in your small portion!

I do love junk foods way back when I'm not yet a mum, but since the day I got pregnant I removed junk foods in my grocery list.. I am prone to UTI since the day I got pregnant until now so my doctor advice me not to eat junk foods..

She makes it sound like some sort of medicine that you have to take.
