Re: Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman

zenibee,

Eat To Live by Fuhrman is an excellent book.
One of the best on Nutritional Science in existence.

Regular bowel movements really mean once per day, so I don't think you have anything to be concerned about on that score.
You have to give sufficient time for any nutrients to be assimilated and the waste to be discarded, but it also depends on the quantity of food eaten.

The B12 question?
B12 is available via plants but the amount needed is infinitesimal in comparison to other nutrients.
B12 is measured in micrograms (millionths of a gram) or nanograms (billionths of a gram). One milligram of B12 will last you over two years, and healthy individuals usually carry around a five year supply.
The problem is usually in digestion/absorption of B12 rather than a deficiency....................

Further compounding this malabsorption is the putrefaction and fermentation of foods within the alimentary canal caused by combining a protein food with a starch food at the same meal.

Fatigue may take several weeks to go away. You cannot expect Nature to perform miracles overnight. Watch how fast a wound heals or a broken bone mends !!
The energy will begin to kick-in after this point. Much depends on your lifestyle as well: adequate sleep and rest with a graduated exercise plan also increase energy levels, not just nutrition.
Look at the bigger picture rather than the individual parts.

You are more than likely to be Vitamin D deficient, so I would have a 25OHD blood test to determine your levels and procure regular sunlight-exposure, or supplement with high quality Vitamin D3 of at least 5000ius per day depending on your D3 status. This has a huge bearing on energy levels, muscular tone and so on.
