So... I've (once again) begun to spiral downward in my diet. Le sigh. I'm not too off course as of yet but I'm sure if I keep heading in this direction I can definitely get into the danger zone -- a very bad thing. The biggest conflict I see is with the psyllium husks. Is anyone else experiencing issues with psyllium and birth control? The book has acknowledged that it may effect the effectiveness of birth control if taken at the same time as the supplement. It recommends taking the supplement or BC HOURS before taking the other. This is the only part of the FF diet that I'm wary of. Maybe I should stop the psyllium and continue with just the cran-water and flaxseed. Does anyone know of a replacement for psyllium which won't effect BC?
Besides supplements I've recently purchased my first batch of whey protein powder (vanilla). I only bought the small pack to try it out first. The salesman recommended strawberry, which I'm thinking about getting for my next batch, that is if I end up liking whey. Also when I was looking around the store I found a few interesting things that so far seems to be allowed on FF's regiment. Along with the Whey, I bought a "Liver Detox" tea by a company called Dr. Stuart's Only Natural Products. It's natural, made of "a unique blend including dandelion root, centaury herb and milk thistle" and it is naturally caffeine free, a definite plus for fat flushers. I haven't gotten a chance to taste it but will update anyone on how it is if interested when I do (I'm making a some now, in fact).
I hope you all are thriving on your dieting and wish myself luck as well.
