Pred, Cheesecake, Regularity, Weight | Arthritis Information

 

Couldn't decide whether to share this idea in the postings about  Regularity, On Pound Weight Loss or Prednisone Cravings...so thought I would just start a new topic for now...

So anyway, here is a weird little dessert/regularity idea I want to share that I came up with last night during my pred induced insomnia/insatiable appetite issue I was having while at the same time contemplating the potential problems of pain killer induced irregularity...  

Dannon Activia (that 2 week it works or its free challenge product) Light Fat Free "Bifidous Regularis" Yogurt mixed together with a  spoonful of Kraft Cheescake Filling Mix (from the refrigerator section) and fresh strawberries. 

Admittedly it wasn't very pretty looking, but it did work immediately on my cheesecake craving, although I guess it will be a couple of weeks before I know if it will address the other issue...but you get your money back if it doesn't... :-)

hi melly,
saw a programme on tv once that looked at hunger issues.  they found that fluids kept people satisfied more than solids.   there was a scientific reason for this but i cant for the life of me remember what it was.   so, a bowl of soup kept people much happier longer than a sandwich.   anyway, thought i'd mention my smoothie recipe again! (sorry!) because its good for bowel movement and filling you up (and its a fluid!).
1 large banana (prebiotic good for the gut!)
large glass cloudy apple juice (must be cloudy for fibre)
large handful of frozen summer fruits (blackberries raspberries strawbs etc)
blitz in a blender for 2 minutes and drink
It willl fill you up, its very tasty, healthy and good for bowels.

Cloudy apple juice?  Do you get that in the organics section?

It is unfiltered apple juice and i think you can find it in most grocery stores.
Also, juicing your own apples would be a good idea.
