wellllllllllll eff.
Acai Berry Cleanse is making me die.
My kidneys are already effed up- and then I add this "gentle cleanse" to my diet regime. I have the worst (pardon me) diarrhea I've ever had in my life- and I haven't even eaten anything all day!!! It's basically liquid and it's burny liquid. So I walk like I just got off a horse. I hurt so much, I'm wondering if I need to see a doctor.

I'm so stupid! It even says on the back of the bottle "DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE OR DEVELOP DIARRHEA, LOOSE STOOLS, OR ABDOMINAL PAIN BECAUSE CASCARA SAGRADA MAY WORSEN THESE CONDITIONS AND BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.

Caffiene and Kidneys

"2. Reduce or Avoid Caffeine - a cup or two of coffee may not be bad for many people, but drinking coffee does not help your kidneys. Remember that caffeine is also found in many soft drinks and sports drinks. Caffeine acts as a diuretic which causes the body to lose fluids excessively.   Being dehydrated results in your kidneys having to work harder to pump out fluid and toxins. Too much caffeine isn’t good for your body in many ways and stressing the kidneys is one of them.


... hmm... let's see.
Xenadrine? 200mgs of caffeine a dose (4 times a day)
Fat Burner? 150mgs a dose (2 times a day)
Green tea extract? 75mgs a dose. (3 times a day)


Gee, I wonder why my kidneys are yeling at me.

On other news- I should be less today :D I just drank water so it'll be hard to get my exact weight until this afternoon- but weee!

thinspo break:

Sooo Dr.Siple called. My labs showed low kidney function and low white blood cells. I'm to make an appointment immediately (which I did) and find out if i'm ok. I get labs done again on friday.
I also get referred to a nutritionist tomorrow, as well as getting a new therapist (who specializes in ED).

I'm taking daily:
- 4 fat burner pills
- 4 acai supplement pills
- 8 xenadrine pills
- 3 green tea extract pills
