Default Personal question all Atkins eaters know about.

Okay, if you have been on Atkins for any amount of time, you well know that constipation is a major part of the game. Does anyone know of a gentle and safe, carb-free way to change that?

Thankfully I haven't had a problem. There's info in the Frequently Asked Questions:

What can I do if I am constipated?

Hope this helps!!!

Default Re: Personal question all Atkins eaters know about.

I suggest walking. I walk 6 miles every morning as soon as I get up. Probably going to up it to 7.2 miles a day so I can take one day off. Anyway, walking, I find keeps me very regular to the point that sometimes I have to make a pit stop along the way.

Thumbs up Re: Personal question all Atkins eaters know about.

I take 400 mg Liquid Magnesium (capsule form)every morning along with a good Pro-Biotic. Magnesium softens the stool (sorry if TMI). You've heard of "Milk of Magnesia"? It' just a good dose of Magnesium.
Magnesium is also a heart healthy supplement.
Pro-Biotics will help with digestion.
I also eat flaxmeal at least 4 times a week.
Keeping yourself well hydrated and exercising helps aswell. My choice of exercise is walking too.

I do take mag in tablet form every day, and I drink water on and off all day long. I walk just one mile a day and need to increase that. I take Acidophilus every day too. I keep forgetting about the flax and I have it in my frig in a grinder. Does Milk of Mag have sugar in it?

Instead of laxatives, I take fiber. I find 2-3 metamucil capsules a day work great

Would an alcoholic say "just one sip"?

Default Re: Personal question all Atkins eaters know about.

I have been on this WOE for 9 months now and this has never been an issue for me. I eat raw spinach almost every day in a salad and either eat flax meal in a recipe or take flax oil capsules daily. YMMV but this has worked well for me.
