Mon, 10 Aug 2009 22:05:05 GMT jen14ed http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2074705.aspx I am having a Colonoscopy tomorrow, and I am on a liquid diet. I am so hungry. I had coffee, and jello for breakfast. I had a good lunch yesterday, and later on Sprite, tea and jello. I am not enjoying this one bit. I finish drinking the Magnesium Caltrate yesterday around 6PM, and I will drink the TriLyte around 3PM. The nausea is absolutely dreadful. I can't wait for this to be over. Have you ever had a liquid diet? What did you drink?

It has been proven to be a diet that successfully allows people to lose weight. The theory is simple; The human body prefers to utilize carbohydrates, including those found in breads, grains, and cereals for energy, and it will burn them before body fat. By scaling back on carbohydrates in your diet, you make your body burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Reducing the amount of carbohydrates in your diet forces your body into a state called "ketosis." This word is derived from the "ketones" that your body uses for energy when sugars and carbs are unavailable. When you're in a state of ketosis, your body is creating ketones from your stored fat that is being burned for energy. Basically, ketones are the leftovers from this process and they're used in place of sugar in the body. Lately there has been much skepticism about this practice. Many people are claiming that this amount of fat intake is not only unhealthy but also unsafe. Carbohydrates provide energy. Also the rapid weight loss is left to question – how much weight is safe to lose in a short period of time? In addition, if you decide that the Atkin’s diet is not right for you, not only do you gain back the weight you lost but an additional amount. Lastly, is it logical to provide your family with a low carb diet? When you rid yourself of rice, bread, noodles and potatoes, you will find that it is rather expensive to feed even one person. On the other hand, this diet has a lot to offer. My parents and I started the Atkin’s diet a few years ago. Although completely unconvinced. we were willing to give it a try. We did follow it strictly for the first week. Eating only vegetables was really difficult. Within the first 5 days I noticed that I had lost three pounds. As time progressed I was able to add in a variety of foods - fish, lean meats, vegetables, eggs and healthy oils. I loved it because I could eat when ever I was hungry and lose weight! I began to feel “healthy". I did research and discovered that eating carbohydrates can lead to frequent energy and mood swings. These wild swings are often manifested in the typical post-lunchtime or mid-afternoon energy crash. When you stop eating carbs, you eliminate the source of this problem. The great part is, once you get into a month or two of this diet you can start adding in a small portion of your favorite foods – spaghetti, twice baked potatoes, chips. The key is moderation. I was surprised to learn that I could find inexpensive, tasty meals that would classify as low carb. Eggs, white fish, chicken ceasar salad – all excellent, healthy foods. So you think you’re ready to jump into the Atkin’s diet – you may want to think again. Although this diet is a great way to lose weight you definitely want to consult your doctor. What most people don’t know about this diet is tht it can cause serious illness if used by the wrong individual. I had to find this out the hard way. I had been on the Atkins diet for almost three years. I looked the best I ever had. However, I began to feel really exhausted. It was as if I ran a marathon every day. Eventually I ended up going into my physician to figure out what was going on. He did all the usual “doctor stuff" and the only thing he could find was that I had low blood pressure. This was strange to me because my entire family has high blood pressure. My doctor suggested that I get blood work done to try to determine what was wrong. A few days later he had called me and inquired about my diet. I explained that I had been on the Atkins diet for a long time. His advice – “Quit immediately". He proceeded to explain that people jump into diets without really researching them. " Just because you look great on the outside doesn’t mean you look great on the inside." My veins were full of fat. I guess when you have low blood pressure you can not circulate the blood as fast so fat just piles up. The doc’s advice was to eat healthy and try to exercise for 20 minutes a day. My father is still on this diet. He has lost 75 lbs to date. He has drastically lowered his high blood pressure and plans to continue this diet. In the end I am still unsure about this diet but wish the best to those who try it.

We can get podered emzymes, but it will take too long to get, at least 2 or more weeks online because we can't afford to get it through the vet. Another option until then was to get beef or lamb pancreas for her to eat, and we did find a meat locker that said we can have all the beef pancreas they get, but we have to let them know where it is located and what it looks like..My husband and the library's ref guy both searched online for a picture, but couldn't find anything..I am going to look myself, but if anyone here can supply [b]a picture of where the pancreas is on a cow and what it looks like[/b], I would really appriciate it.. It would be even better if I can get something before 45 minutes is up, because then I have to get off the computer here at the libaray...

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:02:04 GMT RLFinNash http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1643509.aspx Ok so my mum had been ill for several weeks now, the docto told her today that she has problems with her pancreas but don't know how bad so she has to go for a MRI scan.

Thanks guys x Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:39:05 GMT mychattime http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1518206.aspx A couple of months ago, my husband felt sudden pain on his body. He can't move , as in powerless. So i decided to bring him to the hospital. They found out that my husband is diabetic. I can't remember the terms that they used because it's all in korean. He's still under medication 'till now. The doctor said that i should be more careful of what food should i give for my husband. That's why I'm asking you this question. Fri, 16 May 2008 08:39:17 GMT arlene05kang http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1455496.aspx First, some background. I wanted some chocolate yesterday. My husband was napping so dinner was late, but I [i]needed[/i] chocolate. I decided to make chocolate cake (used a mix because it was quicker) and homemade chocolate frosting. Yummmmm! Now since I made the frosting myself, I had to taste it as I went along, right? I mean, you have to know if it's got enough chocolate, or needs more butter, right? By the time the cake was cool enough to frost and eat, it was close to 10:00 pm. Again, dinner was late and now cake on top of that. Yep, I ended up with a tummy ache. Not actually an upset tummy or anything, just FULL and it hurt to move. I knew it was a bad idea to go to bed feeling like that, but I crawled in anyway, thinking if I sat up reading for a bit, everything would be fine. [b]WRONG ...[/b] I had the craziest dreams all night; people I knew, pets I've owned, places I've been, all mixed up into different locations and odd time frames. I don't think a single bit of any scene made a lick of sense. It was a pretty rough night and I'm sure if it weren't for my husband's hearing problem, he probably would have tossed me out of the bed. They say dreams usually last no more than 2 minutes, but oh no, this was an all nighter for sure. I knew I shouldn't have had that big piece of chocolate cake with yummy homemade chocolate frosting, I just knew it. So ... Cake for breakfast? Sun, 30 Mar 2008 09:10:16 GMT Ldyjarhead
