You may also want to reassess what you are eating. You've got a lot of veggies in there! While I love my veggies, I have 5-6 servings a day but not more than that. I don't know how big your salads are or what you put in them though
My salads are normally : 3 oz (1 cup ) of leafy vegetables and 3 oz of either tomato or broccolli or other steamed veggie

As for your bathroom problem, I had that at some point, and it turned out it was the type of coffee I was drinking! I mentioned it to my doc and he said a lot of people have this problem with coffee in general. So have you switched your brand lately? Also, all those veggies might be making you gassy and not helping either.
Well while on atkins I ate a LOT of veggies and never had that problem. I have been drinking coffee since I am 6 years old (I am from Colombia, land of the best coffee in the world) so I dont think is that either

How about switching things up a bit? Maybe some soup for lunch with baby carrots? Or some lean turkey or chicken on a low carb wrap with lots of veggies added in? If you are eating the same thing day after day that may be contributing to your energy issues.
I will try that; it does make sense.

If none of that helps, I would re-evaluate how many calories you want to get per day. If you are losing more than 1-2 pounds per week, you may want to up your calorie intake. It might help your energy level.
Actually my energy level is higher now than before, but I guess the switch from low carb, and high protein to low fat is making my stomach uneasy.
Thanks for your time and ideas!
