McKenna W Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hey guys I'm on day 18 and all I'm feeling is worse than ever before. I've never been so bloated in my life. I can't go to the bathroom, my skin feels dry and brittle and breaking out ... I just feel so blah and considering just giving up because I'm not feeling even 1 positive side effect ... THIS PAST WEEK DAILY MEALS: meal 1: spinach frittata, berries, banana meal2: protien salad, baked sweet potato, apple meal3: 3 cups spaghetti squash, 2 palm size of ground turkey, a pear WEEK BEFORE WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS Meal1: 3 eggs, 2 huge handfuls of spinach, 1/2 avocado, grapefruit. meal2: 2 palm size of tuna on a bed of spinach, 1 cup sliced carrot, 1 cup sliced celery, an apple meal 3: 1 whole fillet of salmon .. OR 1 full chicken breast, 1 cup Brussels sprouts, 1 cup broccoli, 1 cup cauliflower (all roasted) OR turkey meatloaf with 1/2 avocado, 2 cups sweet potato *note that with every meal all my protien or veggies are cooked with 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil or ghee* and literally drinking a gallon of water a day and I weigh 120 pounds What am I doing wrong?

arrowbirth127 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I am in the same boat and sending healing vibes to you. It's awful, the bloating and constipation. The only difference between your post and what I'm experiencing is my skin feels super soft, still splotchy though. I'm on day 15 of my second W30 and just miserable. I'm doing lots of research and I'm wondering if I (we?) have a FODMAP sensitivity? I am going to keep a food diary to try and pinpoint what makes me feel the worst. I am taking Smooth Move tea tonight because I can't go on like this. I've also been having bumps and itchiness pop up all over me. Ughhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi! I've experienced constipation, too, and it's because I'm eating sooo much more meat than I did before W30! Make sure you eat a ton of cooked veggies, brocc and cauliflower are my best friends, and chug water like your life depends on it Also, Magnesium supplement is a god send.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2018 Brocolli and cauliflower are cruciferous veggies and can cause bloating and discomfort when eaten in large quantities by some people. It's great that they're your best friends @lwolford, roasted brocolli is my fave too and luckily it sits fine in my stomach but some people who are experiencing bloat may want to steer clear, especially of raw crucifers.
