    Tummy bloated since intro of carbs

    Thanks Porgeous, I think you may be right as I have never been without carbs before and now after not having any for 9 months since doing cd I suppose my body will react to them.

    Tummy bloated since intro of carbs

    Hi, I have been on the 1000 plan for 2 weeks now and I am losing weight on it, however my tummy seems to be extremely bloated. Is this normal when re- introducing carbs. I have heard that cells plump back out again when more food is introduced but my tummy looks like an inflated balloon :confused:.

    Hi Natalie, don't feel bad hun, you have done so well. It is so very hard to eat and not feel guilty afterwards when you have done cd for a while. It's like you have got used to being so strict with yourself on cd that when it comes to a situation like your weekend away it is virtually...

    Question about the bars

    I have had the bars since week 3 and they have never caused me probs. No hunger pangs, no slowing of weightloss infact I think if it wern't for the bars I may not have been able to be on ss for as long as I were. I am moving up the plans now and still have a bar as one of my 2 cd meals on the...

    URGENT HELP NEEDED

    Sorry your so poorly Spott. Let us know what the gp says, and I would really go with the gp's advice as It's important you stay fit and well. You can pick the diet back up when your well enough and like the girls say above if need be stick with a bit of chicken. Take care xxx.

    Salt?

    Thanks sbridge7, I have used the marigold since ss+, it's lovely isn't it but I have never used the reduced salt one though so with a bit of luck maybe my body will be used to a little salt already and not retain water - I hope not as I have never a had a gain throughout my whole cd journey...
