I think its kinda like jello, it just adds up too damn fast
Do you (or did you) still urinate and then all of a sudden it slowed down or stopped even? You ate a bagel and cheese everyday? how 'bout instead of a piece of cheese a scrambled egg on a bagel or wrapped in a tortilla, that gives you your protein and starch (i've been talking to a endocrinologist)
There are so many other options to eat i think it is just pretty much finding the things you like. Hopefully you will get some better idea as members reply. (i'm looking forward to some suggestions too)
