GFChris Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 To best help you, can you post your food log for the past 2-3 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeviola Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I had the SAME issue on day 5. I looked 6 months pregnant. I ordered some digestive enzymes but by the time they arrived a few days later, the problem was gone. This too shall pass... don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would try digestive enzymes, though, as Rae Viola said, it will probably pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Besides the above, I wonder if coconut could be a problem for you? Also, do you have a copy of the meal template? Some of your meals are missing veggies: aim for at least 1-2 cups of vegetables per meal. Don't let fruit push veggies off your plate. And your breakfast today also had no protein: be sure to get 1-2 palm-sized servings per meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biminilady Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I have been on no carb diets for so long --- Years-- that coconut , sweet potato , any fruit are so new to me again... I will take your suggestion and lay off the coconut and bulk up on veggies... Thank you all for your feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconut is a fat source - if you're going to cut the coconut, make sure to replace it with a different fat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
