Question:
Has anyone experienced constipation problems with the South Beach Diet rule? Before the diet, I started my day with Metamucil mixed in prune juice to stay regular. Since starting the diet almost 3 weeks ago, my constipation has become progressively worse. Please give me some input if you've stayed with the diet, but conquered the constipation problem. As I've added small amounts of fruits and grains, my weight loss has stopped, but constipation has not.
Answer:
I stopped the SBD after 13 days, My body had no fuel and I was stuffing myself. The book is OUTDATED and they want people to join the site or buy the upcoming new book. They change the diet rules so often you get whiplash! You are constipated cause you have no caffeine and its a low carb WOE. Which is why LOW CARB WOEs recommend a fiber supplement . I remember reading somewhere that if you drink coffee you only poop once a day usually soon AFTER you drink it.
