well I ate alot of fat tonights dinner.
Chicken breast with cream of chicken soup and pesto in olive oil covered with swiss cheese and brocolli and as a side dish:.....
FENNEL! I sauteed that in olive oil added some fresh ground black pepper and it was good! crunchy and subtle flavor. nice hubby liked it too.
1000 calorie dinner oh well ..only 31 carbs!.

lol... Bizi you sauteed fennel WITHOUT steaming/cooking it first?? haha... if i did that my dad would throw it at me... you must have had some tender ones.... see, it can be very fibrous (as in the long nasty strings that are hard to cut through and also get in your teeth). we cook it before, then sautee it... that way, it is tender, strings and all.

but hey, if you enjoyed it "crunchy", more power to you (you also lose less nutrients the less it's cooked), although with steaming you don't much.

anyway that sounds like a yummy dinner... watch those sat fats though!

It was the female kind big bulbous, sauteed them about 15 minutes on medium heat, some of them carmelized, hubby liked those the best.

Of course I keep track of all of us on this thread. I am a bit concerned that the problem you have, isn't being corrected by normal, food changes and cleansings. Have your had that part of your body examined? I would seek a lower GI guy and go ahead and just be checked out. This is only a suggestion of course...I care about you Bizi. ginnie

Hi, Bizi,

Here is a link to Dr. Weil's site about this:

Constipation and Digestive Health


2 Here is a site that talks about Olive Oil and other solutions:

Waves' suggestion to eat or drink a Tablespoon of oil a day is very good.
I poor Flax seed or Olive oil in a measuring spoon and take it like that so that I know exactly how much I am getting. One Tablespoon is 120 calories.

4 The Dunkan diet is high protein diet. This site shows ways to get some of the 20-25 grams of fiber recommended by the US FDA:

Sorry your having this problem.

I personally would like to have you and my son Danny change places.

His ulceratis colitis is acting up. And he is having lots of problems
with this area. And is finally made a appt tomorrow to go to the doctor.

Guess its a new one, since his isn't available.
