wow thanks rachel, thanks sirgeoh, will look up those supplements

Well, as for how long to take it I am not sure. I would imagine until you feel regulated. That being said, I agree with the other post in that every two hours might be normal. I think thats how much I go but I drink like 14glasses of water a day.

 

Rachel, thats awesome those numbers you came up with. Can you do me next?!

And BTW, I directly used Harley's 80/10/10 Fundamentals video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJkfrHssyVE to get my numbers. And if anyone wants a good percentage calculator that will do the carb calculation so you can get your total calories, try this one and use the third equation thing: http://www.math.com/everyone/calculators/calc_source/percent.htm

I did some math for you so you could see where you are. You might want to measure your food to make sure your fat/protein ratios are good as well as your overall calories. Also, this does not take into account lots of exercise. This is simply to maintain your current body weight. That means since you train a lot, you will actually have to eat MORE.

First, the summary results, then how I got the answers, OK? All numbers are rounded up or down.
Your weight in kilos: 48.1 (rounded up)

MINIMUM CALORIES PER DAY: 2405
CARBS: 481 grams per day (1924 calories)
FAT: 27 grams per day (241 calories)
PROTEIN: 60 grams per day (241 calories)

Here are my sums:
106 pounds = 48.1 kilos (rounded up)
10 grams carbs per kilo
481 grams of carbs per day for your weight
4 calories per gram of carbs
4 x 481 = 1924 calories from carbs per day
Now to calculate OVERALL calories you need and the fat/protein
80% of calories from carbs
1924 calories is 80% of: 2405 overall calories
Fat calories (10% of 2405): 241 (rounded up)
9 calories per gram of fat
241 / 9 = 27 grams of fat (rounded up)
Protein calories (10% of 2405) 241 (rounded up)
4 calories per gram of protein
241 / 4 = 60 grams of protein (rounded down)

 

I hope this helps! :)

Sirgeoh, for how long do you think it is necessary to take gymnema and chromium? I have similar problems with urination (need to go almost every hour) and so probably with blood sugar levels also. I have read that gymnema might even help to regenerate pancreatic cells. Thanks a lot. B

A healthy urination count is about 10-12 times daily. 

Try keeping a log (just some lil check marks tallied at day's end will do) for some definitive evidence.  Then you'll have some knowledge on which to go :)

Peeing every two hours is normal. I used to pee that often when I was an athletic SAD eater. You must have been pretty dehydrated before.

Karen, as for problem one the main issue with this diet is breaking down all the sugar. As soon as I started taking Gymnema and Chromium it solved about 98% of my issue (I had lots of bubbles in my urine). You may also want to look into strenghtening the kidneys.

#2 Have you tried coconut water? Or water with electrolytes. I do believe distilled water is the best but you are doing some vigorous work and you might need a boost. That being said, if your body is not absorbing fluids effectively then #1 could be effecting #2

Good luck!
