Lemonhead Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I am on day nine and I have not cheated and my pants are tighter I feel bloated and I have had to remove my rings. I know the purpose of the whole 30 is not to lose weight but I was not expecting to gain any or feel this way. I am seriously trying not to be discouraged mentally because I am an emotional and stress eater, please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Some bloating is common in the early stages as your digestive system adjusts, and can be dependant very much on the foods that you are eating.Off the top of my head some things that will cause bloating are:Drinking a lot of iced water Drinking sparkling water/seltzer Cruciferous veg Raw veg Raw cruciferous veg Too many nuts/nut butters If you'd like to post a few days worth of your food/liquid inatke along with your activity/stress/sleep levels we can maybe pinpoint some tweaks for you...

jmcbn Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Okay...If you're having a fruit salad with almonds every morning I'd suggest switching that for veggies so that your meal meets the template for starters. Fruit should not be pushing the veggies off of your plate.Then you say you're having more fruit & nuts for any snacks - so that looks like a lot of fruit & nuts to me... Snacking is discouraged so I'd suggest upping the contents of your meals so you no longer feel the need to snack, and if you are genuinely hungry try for something different - say a few bites of chicken & some olives.The nuts look to be the culprit to me, and the naturally occuring sugars in the fruit can be troublesome too when eaten in quantity.Is the onion raw? If so maybe avoid that for a day or two as well, and make sure you're getting enough water.Other than that you could try adding in some fermented foods like sauerkraut or kombucha, or a digestive enzyme, particularly if you're not used to so much animal protein.Hope this helps!
