Its very common to get some bloating when you first start a healthy plan after all you gut is having to work for its living for the first time in a long time processing all the fibre. It sounds like you are doing the right things by making sure you are drinking enough water and trying peppermint tea. Hopefully it will pass (no pun intended) as your body adjusts. You food diary looks okay too although you may want to consider some more syns. i like the idea of having cheery tomatoes though lol

What are you drinking??? I think that those sugar free drinks bloat you more than anything. TRY to drink the 2ltrs of water a day. Yes it sucks, yes it's boring but go to your local supermarket and if you can, I recommend buying a pack of 4 x 2ltrs bottles (they are on offer in asda 2 packs for £2.50 or something). Try and get through as much as one bottle a day! It will help flush your system. Trust me! I ONLY drink tea, green tea with honey or water. I was diagnosed with aspartame poisoning so I avoid anything with artificial sweeteners (muller lights, diet coke, pepsi max etc) & have found it has made a massive difference x
