Default Question? about gum!

Hi there,
I have 2 questions actually!
1. Chewing gum, are you allowed chew gum while on the atkins diet? Its just to get rid of stinky breath!
2. Should I continue taking acai capsules and colon cleanse tabs? Would taking these effect the diet? Should I stop taking these?
I haven't started atkins yet, I'm doing my prep work for Monday 5th Oct.
Many thanks for any help!
wobbly.

I explained what's the deal with gum in this thread: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad-breath.html (bad breath?). So maybe you can check that out.

About those capsules and tabs... I don't know what acai capsules do. Are these the ones that are said to help with weight loss? You don't need them on Atkins. You don't need the colon cleanse tabs either. If you have constipation problems, then take a daily fiber supplement (1 tbsp of flax meal, psyllium husks or wheat bran). If this doesn't help with the problem, then increase the dosage and see how that goes. You will need to take your any of these fiber supplements with a lot of water, or else they'll have the opposite effect.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Hi Georgiana,
Thank you so much for your response and the link to the thread!
I am having my last glass of wine tonight and I am starting the countdown to Monday and I am looking forward to it and so excited about getting stuck into it.
I have looked at this bulletin board so many times and I figured by actually joining, means that I am finally commited to doing it.
Its so great to have the support here.
Again, many thanks.
Wobbly

Hi Liv,
It wasn't too hard to come up with the name! I feel that way, especially when I walk, I don't so much as walk but wobble!
I'll be here tomorrow, during the day I'll be fine its just the evenings that might prove harder.
Anyway roll on tomorrow!

Default Re: Question? about gum!

I chewed gum my first week of induction and found that every time the "sugar free" gum would throw me right out of ketosis. So much for that. I quit chewing gum and just brushed my teeth and tongue more often and flossed.

I know that once I reach OWL I can usually have gum and mints in moderation and stay on track.
