I got some Benefiber and it called for one level teaspoonI didn't have any measuring spoons, 1.5 just regular plastic spoons into a bottle of V8 (I spilled a little, not a whole lot).Now I can't stop pooping! What should I do?
When you deny your body carbs it goes after the fat and protein to try and get what it needs and you can place yourself into a situation called carb starvation-ketoacidosisYour body starts making ketones and is in an acidic state, which is potentially deadlyIt sounds like you may be getting more carbs than you think, in some starchy veggiesIt is good to have at least 200mg of carbs /dayIt should actually be 45%-55% of your daily intakeIt is best to consume it in complex carbsI would try to increase your polyunsaturated fats (omega 3's) for heart healthYour daily protein needs at the given infoare 71g at a higher rate of 1.0/kg, rather than 0.8/kgI think you could round out your diet a bit with less protein and more complex carbs.
What do you mean by carbs?? You can get your carbs through fruits and vegetables (100% carb) exclusively and have plenty of energyYou do not need bread or pasta or etc.
