Hello all,
I have been on the IP diet for about 10 weeks or so and have lost 35 PDS so far. The change in my body composition has been amazing. A few things have been concerning me though and I'm close to stoppign the diet all together... Hopefully some sound advice can steer me in the right direction.
1) For weeks now I have been having pains in my sides, almost like a cramp when you drink too much water but not that severe. It comes and gos but I notice that when I have had cheat days it goes away. I didnt have this before the diet and my coach has no clue. Anyone expeirence somehting similar or have some advice?
2) Constipation - It just hasn't been great. My coach recommends warm veggies as I mostly eat salads. The only thing that helps is taking extra milk of magesium.. I started taking probitoitcs and saw some improvment for a few days but then back to sqaure one.
3) Weight loss has been less than expected over the last 4-5 weeks, avergaigng like 1-2 PDS per week although I'm fairly strict on the diet. Coach says could be sue to constipation.
4) Snack - I have been having one typicaly around 8PM - is this the wrong time to snack?
I really appreciate any help that can be offered. I am still in pahse1 but pretty much moving to phase2 this week or next.
Thanks!!!!!
