    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!

    Re: Question? about gum!

    I explained what's the deal with gum in this thread: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad-breath.html. 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.

          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!

            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.
