I'm sorry you have a headache.

I'm not doing very well tonight guys. I did very good all day and then totally cheated tonight. AHHH! I'm so mad at myself right now!

It's a bit of water weight, expect a few pounds to sneak on. A low carb diet is a natural diuretic. Drink a lot of water to help keep the water weight off.

You regain because of the fluid loss, caused by glycogen depletion.So when you stop the low carb,You rehydrate.

Hey I got some stuff at Walmart called Slow-Mag...it is Magnesium Chloride and also has calcium in it...guy at healthfood store said if you take magnesium, take the Magnesium Chloride...and they are coated tablets and VERY easy to swallow! I felt like I cheated last night with the low carb ice cream but the scales said I had lost another pound! My head hurts so bad but hopefully this is the last day of that!

Thanks for that info. I will look for them.Why did you need mag supplements?
I hope your headache goes away soon. Did you cut caffiene?

Magnesium is good for your heart and I have MVP. Plus, magnesium naturally keeps you more regular. I still have a dull headache...not as bad but still there. I did not cut caffiene out, but way back...I used to drink coffee all day long!

Hey ,I have mitral valve prolaspe too.I t has been reaaly acting off lately.
Can you sleep on your left side? I have never been able too.My heart starts sputtering.My Doctor told me that was impoosible.I ran across a article online that stated tha. I was elated.I finally knew or should I say had proof it wasn't all in my head.

I was diagnosed in 1984 and they put me on meds...I could not take them tho...mine acts up about once a month and not so bad...the worse it ever lasted was 45 minutes...I thought I was going to die and my hubby came really close to taking me to the hospital. I sleep mostly on my back but can also sleep on my sides. I know caffiene is not good and I do limit my coffee these days.

Shadow · 01-17-2007, 09:20 PM

I couldn't take the meds either.I think it was inderal.Made my BP drop.
Mine acts up when I am depressed, stressed.It can't be really bothersome, mine goes for days.

chloeandj · 01-18-2007, 08:19 AM

Ok, I went all day without cheaing yesterday!

I'll be fine now...LOL

Has anyone bought ketone test strips? They are like mini weight watcher meetings for me.
