Apart from that, I don't think either is particularly harsh. Good luck!

With psyllium you have to increase your daily water - or they too will constipate. They are great as long as you get enough water. I take flax seed daily with my protein shake.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
