Question for Pat

[Regina]

I wanted to ask you this at the meeting but I forgot. :(

Hi Pat, I have been trying so hard to not eat the bad things again and so far so good. I have lost 9LBS already. My problem is this. I know you said 1500 calories for me and I stay under that amount at times. There are times I have only gotten up to 1000 a day which I don't think is a bad thing I hope.

I know that we need the protein and I try to get in at least 80 grams if not a little more. What I don't know is this:

How many Carbs and fat a day should I be having a day.

If you can maybe help me with this, I would so greatly appreciate it.

Thanks Pat
:D

Hi Pat: I have a question. This year I went back to work part time as a lunch aide at school. It's also a year I got bronchitis at least 5 times, even up until end of June. Everyone said it was because it's like that first year at a school til you build an immunity. I hope so. Meanwhile I would like to know if I should take extra supplements to prevent colds. Now I take the B12 sublingual, also B12 shots occasionally from primary dr. if needed, 3 calcium chews a day and two multivitamins (Centrum Silver). Should I be taking vitamin C or Zinc as well??

Hi Annie I would recommend extra supplements. Zinc is fine, Try to find a b-complex with minerals supplement. Hope this helps. Always rememmber the best way to prevent getting a cold is to wash your hands frequently.

Dear Pat: Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm into the handwashing thing! I have the little bottle of cleaner in my purse. Always sanitizing. I'm thinking of wearing one of those Michael Jackson masks next :).

I will try your recommendation. Thanks.

Thank you Pat. I got the zinc and B vitamins with minerals the same day you wrote me a few weeks ago and I have been feeling good. I will do anything not to be coming down with something all the time. Here's hoping that's a thing of the past! Hope this finds you well. See you soon
