Women lose some of their iron routinely during the years of menstruation. Occasionally some people, men as well as women, will have iron deficiency anemia and need to iron replacement medication.
Women who cease menstruating will build up iron just as men do. Too much iron can cause problems - I could list them once but forget at this point.

I take about 1 1/2 teaspoons of Metamusil twice a day (with my vitamin regimens) to counter act this problem.
Oh man, did I actually write that? I must have been still asleep. Obviously, what I meant to say was "...is that it causes constipation".
One good thing about jogging regularly. It keeps me regular. Don't know why. Maybe everything just gets shaken down.
Can you eat popcorn? or is it out for life too?
It is for me. After they took the "Magical Mystery Tour" (aka a colonoscopy) through my plumbing, they told me I had diverticulosis. So no corn, nuts, or seeds for George. (TMI?)
yes, george, but I hope things are alright now......

6 grams per cup, so not very much
Peperami
Right, found PEPERAMI sausage things in the supermarket and checked the stats:
As follows:
Energy 573kj/139kcal
Protein 4.8g
Carbs 0.6g
of which sugar - trace
Fat 13g
of which saturates 5g
Fibre 0.3g
Sodium 0.4g
So what do you think, are these good snack food or NOT???????
I would.............. Just had some beef sausage for breakfast myself with dry roasted peanuts and a diet Dr. Pepper
BILL W
Diet Dr PEPPER??
Guess not for me as I am only on 2nd week of INDUCTION, so the sausage thing above , from the content looks ok?? I am still getting used to all this checking stuff.
Thanks for all your help.
How long you been doing ATKINS , BILL W ???
9 1/2 months - nuts may be too much during induction; but, dp okay unless you have problem with aspartame. I forget why Dr Atkins was against it
BILL W (Fountain of knowledge)
Bill,
I am not coming to the end of my induction 2 weeks but I seem to have stagnated somewhat, I have lost ONLY 3kgs, or 6.6lbs !!! How do I kick start it again so that I start losing weight again.
Thanks for your help.
Does the Diet DR.Pepper have sugar in it, wasnt atkins against any mixers like that?? sugar or something???
Mobsta.
Above is supposed to read , am NOW coming to the end of induction!!
Bill many doctors are against diet pops because they mimic the symptoms of several diseases over time. Two that come to mind are MS and Lupus.
Serious side effects from aspartame, sugar replacements.
PLEASE
HOW BAD ARE SATURATED FATS?? I think I just had 21g of saturated fats, is this allowed on ATKINS????
