Have followed about a 15-1600 calorie diet, but also noticed that I am retaining water even though I am on a low sodium diet, have been having milk shakes with ice and skim milk, about a quart a day and it is fairly high sodium so will cut those down to ONE A DAY.
Also eating the steel cut oats, but the last was cooked yesterday, adding about 1/4 of a small apple chopped and a table spoon of brown sugar and about 2 table spoons of skim milk.
Supper has been mesquite smoked rabbit chowder or beef stew with more stew than beef.
Taking some lasix to get the swelling out of my legs and that is probably responsible for the 2 pound loss of weight on the scale.
Covid 19 lock down still in place and only have powdered milk on hand and I don't l;ke the taste even with some vanilla flavoring and stevia to sweeten. Drinking 3 to 4 quarts a day of liquid, and also eating a half cup or so of unsweetened apple sauce with a couple of table spoons of ground flax seeds. It is really good for cholosterol as is the oats. Will go to flat oats until we build back up enough of a grocery list to risk going to town for groceries. Actually have been getting outside some to work on the container gardening. getting some exercise as well as sunshine but is gray and cold today. got bad rain with the storm that put a MILLION people out of their homes all over the south and killed quite a few as well, the rain fell horizontally here and some of the fruit trees had leaves damaged by the whipping winds and small hail, but overall we didn't suffer any bad damage like a tree down and we didn't lose power for a long time so we are fortunate.
