With these new Food Diary reports, I've realized that I'm not getting any of biotin, chloride, chromium, iodine, molybdenum in my diet naturally. So I did a little research on what these vitamins and minerals do.

Biotin: Pantothenic acid and biotin are essential to growth. They help the body break down and use food. This is called metabolism. (Well, that can't be good for my ultrametabolism diet!)

Chloride: Chloride is needed to keep the proper balance of body fluids. It is an essential part of digestive (stomach) juices.

Chromium: Chromium is important in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.  (This also can't be good for the diet!)

Iodine: Iodine is needed for the normal metabolism of cells. (Also not good!)

It's amazing I'm losing any weight at all.

This is really helpful and useful. Thank you.
By the way...do you know anywhere you can write in all the foods you normally eat everyday, and get a reading about what essentials you might be missing in your diet?? I was thinking of doing that, but couldn't find the appropriate place to do it.

Swampy thinks there is a mistake and that your report should show chloride intake.
