Hi all
After 3 years of no exercise and junk food i topped the scales at 14 stone so decided to lose weight.
I didnt follow a specific diet, simply started weight training again and cut out all junk food and beer. I get 1600 calories a day which comes mostly from veg, fruit, lean meat... i eat a tonne of veg.
So far so good, 6 weeks in ive lost one stone. Ive managed to maintain Lean Body Mass through the weight training.
However (sorry if tmi) ive gone from being regular as clockwork to being permenantly constipated!. I 'go' maybee once a week right now.
I get no discomfort or pain, just no urge to go... with all the fibre im getting id have expected the opposite. Im drinking lots of water.
Has anyone else had this while changing eating habits? If so how did you kick start your system? ive tried daily figs and prunes, to no effect.
I did wonder if maybee my fat intake was too low?. Some days i probably take in less than 20g of fat in total. Ive no idea if that could be a factor.
Thanks.
