Chitosan

[keepthefaith]

Those taking this on LE what mg do you take and where do you get it? I notice few different varieties on eBay but not sure what to go for?

[atomic sagebrush]

lower may be better to start (can cause stomach upset)

get the kind without added nutrients

[Frilly Lady]

Not sure where you're from keepthefaith. I got mine from Holland and Barrett in the UK, they are 500 mg of which I'm to take two before lunch and and two before dinner. I did feel a little sickly just after taking them until I'd eaten, but only for a few days.

May I ask if "Chitosan" is a fiber?

[keepthefaith]

Yes Chitosan a fibre. I got 500mg from
eBay and I take one with each meal. Seem ok so far! X

[Dynazyme]

yes it's made from the husks of shrimp (so no one with seafood allergies should use it)

My diet is already low in fat. Most of the days I barely eat 20%. I try to eat more product with fat, but is it still useful to take chitosan? Or is it better for me not to take it?

[maidentomother]

Juultje, you should not take fiber in that case and you might need more fat than that. Remember, eating more polyunsaturated plant fats sways pink so that may be best if you want to keep your sway strict while maintaining O. How many grams are you consuming daily?

[Juultje]

I consume about 30 grams of fat daily. But I'm already trying to eat more fullfat cheese or some chocolate. I know I need to eat more fat, because I should have ovulated a week ago but that didn't happen.

If you aren't eating enough fat then you shouldn't use the fiber. 20-30% is ok. Lower than that is NOT ok under any circumstances (fiber or no)

:agree: are you also sticking in the limits of calories and protein??

Taking any herbs that could delay O?

Yes exactly and here's an essay on that topic http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/39013-skinny-fats-pink-blue.html

I'm not using herbs, except for minttea. I consume about 40 to 43 grams of protein each day and approximately 1600-1800 calories. I try to workout for an hour 5-6 days so I think I need the calories. My BMI is already pretty low, around 19.

[atomic sagebrush]

Mint tea can delay O.

[Juultje]

Really!?!?! Okay, in that case I think I will stop drinking minttea. Although it is a pretty strong swayfactor, isn't it?

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't think it is, personally. It is not something we've been tracking because people use it so differently from one another (different doses) there was no way to really pin it down closely enough to track. I doubt it is any better than saw palmetto (it's like a less effective version of SP) and SP is getting lower than the overall results of the site.
