Silverweb's Journal, 21 May 10

I haven't heard of a bruising problem with any diet, Silverweb. Are you being more active than you used to be? It may be that you don't notice when you bumo yourself, because you are doing more than you used to, and are too busy to notice the bumos and lumos when they happen. IF it continues, though I think I would see a Dr and ask about it. Looks like you are doing great otherwise. I saw Keli's comments from yesterday, and I have to agree, try to adjust your calories up a bit and see if that helps.  

I'm unaware of any diet causing bruising. Like Ctlss, I have to wonder if you're just not noticing when you bump into something. I think the advise to see a dr if it continues is excellent. I wouldn't wait too long, either. Watch if for maybe a week. If the bruising gets worse, or you notice more bruising, don't fool around with it. Get to a doc. As for the pounds going up and down, that's common if you weigh daily. Some diet gurus suggest you do a 3 day average which will give you a true picture of your weight and not just fluctuations in water and waste. 

Could have something to do with lack of potassium. You might try adding 1/4 of an avocado to help right now.  

Thank you for your advise. I am exercising so much more, perhaps I don't notice my body hitting things...although you'd think I would remember with bruising enough to actually hurt and be so blue. You are probably right though. I'll keep a watch on things and see the doctor if it continues. :))  

I've never heard of bruising with dieting either... I do know I get a lot of bruises being a dog groomer I get bit, scratched and bruised all the time!
