  • Fibercon laxative

    I have another question about a laxative. Has anyone every used Fibercon? I had been using the generic form and worked great but I wasn't sure if it was safe so I stopped. The ingredient in it is Calcium Polycarbophil. It says it's a safe natural laxative but I'm not sure about that ingredient.

    Why are you using a laxative?

    Not really recommended ... as you're teaching your body not to "go" on its own.

      I'm not eating enough fiber or veggies. My body does not seem to "go" very well with a high protein diet.

        Why don't you eat enough veggies? You should be eating them.

          with a high protein diet.
          Atkins is a high fat diet, not high protein. Since you're on Induction, are approximately 65% of your calories coming from fat?

            I guess I'm still going by the old Atkins book, I thought Atkins was a high fat, high protein diet. I'm trying not to have too high fats but definitely am enjoying them. I do have high cholesterol. I guess I'm going to have to get his newer book. It doesn't seem right to enjoy fats when I'm so used to lowfat everything! I can actually enjoy vegetables with real butter on them? Doesn't seem right!!

              Yes, you can.

              Atkins was never high protein.
