  • Whenever I start ...

    OK I admit I have stopped and started a few times in the past few years

    When I start I usually feel really bad, am bloated like heck, and my tummy is big, round, bloated, and hard. In fact so bloated it's like hard to breathe.

    About 3 days into induction I get massive dehydration, the bloating goes down, and I get 911-Bathroom RUNS that are serious as heck

    This stops about 1 week into it and I feel fine, my belt loosens up quite a bit in the first week and I start to feel better

    Any idea what the heck ?

    It's a repeatable process. I'm hoping to stay ON. My brother has started with me this time so between him and ADDB I've got some extra support this time.

    Thanks

    That sounds really uncomfortable

    Do you drink plenty of plain water?
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      Yeah if I dont drink water I'll get cramps because the dehydration goes on for 3-4 days really rappidly

      When I drink the water my stomache starts to gurlge within 10-15 minutes

      I've been reading and "insulin resistance" is a problem I have, it could be bloating in my intestines caused by the carbs, as I cut out the carbs it starts to flush

      Just another reason to FIX my WOL and stop repeating the cycle !
