Comments

Finally, some “movement.”  I discovered why I hadn’t lost weight lately.  Constipation.  A known adverse effect of ketogenic weight-loss diets that are often low in fiber.  I’ll admit I’ve been prone to constipation in the past if I didn’t get adequate fiber.  Expert nutrition panels recommend adults eat 25-30 grams of fiber daily.  My average fiber intake for the last three days is 11 grams.  Will start sugar-free Metamucil powder.  TMI?
