    SUPER Embarassing Question

    Hi Fellow Atkineers,
    I am currently in the fifth day of a very clean, mostly uneventful induction. (Last time I tried to start, I got knocked off the wagon by the migraine I got..but worked through the headaches this time) Anyway, the only problem I've had thus far is diaharrea (SP?) This morning....in my toilet....I noticed that some of it was GREASE
    Ive been eating my allowed veggies, excersizing, and drinking a ton of water. If this is the worst it gets, then I'm not that bad off.....but has this ever happened to anyone else? This will NOT deter me, though!!!

    p.s- I hope I posted this in the right forum, Mr/Mrs Moderator

    Most people have a problem with constipation during Induction because they aren't getting enough fiber from their veggies and they aren't drinking enough water.

    Oil is a laxative. In fact, doctors still recommend 'heavy mineral oil' to soften the stool. You can try to cut back on the added fat by a tablespoon.

      many folk have your problem too your body will adjust by making more bile to digest the fats but look on the bright side those are eatten cals you will not be burning off too bad we can't make high carb foods flush like that naturally.

      you can add some psyllium or other soluble fiber from chapter 11 rule12 to help as this will absorb the fluids and trap some of the fats thus slowing your passage fo waste in your intestines.

      happy low carbing

        It happened to me at first, then everything went back to normal. I figured it was my body flushing out the carbage.
        What would we do without it?

                THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I thought I was the only one having the "greasies." Nice to know other people have had it, too. I will get the psyllium husks, like was suggested. Nice to know you guys are there!!
