Ok, for me - I'd rather be addicted to a laxative than not having bowel movements. That said - herbs are food and that is what is in IF1. Folks don't say they are addicted to fruits and veges in order to have bowel movements.
Are you drinking half your body weight in
ounces of water every day?
Are you eating 7-10 fruits and veges every day. I would also be taking at least 6 Vitalerbs every day.
I suggest you visit
http://committed.to/bestdeals and order the book 'Eat to Live' by Joel Fuhrman.
Here are two meals you can include in your everyday routine. By increasing natural fiber you may be able to move to a milder formula, Cleanse Quick Colon by Dr. Christopher:
Furhman's Breakfast:
all amounts modifiable
1/2 cup 5 minute oatmeal
westsoy unsweetened vanilla or plain soymilk
some raisins, and or dates, and or currants
as many berries as you want - no limit on any berries. blue are a favorite, but use cran, straw, and rasp to your heart's content
grapes
a handful of nuts (raw almonds, walnuts, etc.). handful is what fits in your palm - not squeezed in a fist
tablespoon of ground flax
I had 6-7 fresh cranberries
any other fruit that you want in moderation
3 ways to prepare - make up the night before and let sit.
i make it up the night before but do not add the soy until ready to eat
make it up the night before, add the soy in the morning and let sit 15-30 minutes
the night before sit method is the thickest
you can sprinkle wheat germ on it to give it a crunch!
Lunch:
again, all amounts modifiable
5
oz spring mix (we use earthbound organics). if you freeze it and then thaw it, cover with water, it gets very seaweed like - it blends very easily
1-1.5 cups westsoy unsweetened vanilla or plain soymilk
1 avocado
Juice of 1 lemon
1 banana
1/2 cup + frozen or fresh blueberries
blend as you add each ingredient.
finally - for a supplement that is all plant based, Vitalerbs
Vitalerbs
All Natural - digestible (unlike most vitamin and calcium pills)
Zero Fat and 40% Protein!
Throw away all your other vitamins.
