Help! All this good eating is affecting my stomach. Anyone else have this problem? Since I've added more veggies and less junk to my diet I've noticed a difference, does your body get used to good eating?
Also, I had a similiar problem with Crystal Light. I was loving drinking my water with a little pink lemonade sprinkled in and I had to stop. Everyone thought I was nuts to think the CL had anything to do with it but then a friend of mine said she heard about some people having that reaction because of the artificial sweetner thats in it. Anyone else?

Re: I am so sorry to be so rude....
I have been on WW for almost a year and have lost 52.5 pounds, and let me tell you, I had what my neighbor who is very into nutrition tell me my body was detoxifying. I was horrified, but kept up the good eating habits and now when I eat something bad for me, I get sick . I can no longer eat a big steak, my body has troube digesting it, I have to eat ground beef, and sometimes I have trouble with that also. If I try to eat a sundae at Friendly's and manage to gooble the whole thing up, I get sick also. I know I am okay helath wise I have discussed this with my doctor. I also noticed that I buy a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits and fish and chiken, very rarely do you find junk in my cart at the super market. A lot of my friends called me 'boring' when they would come over for dinner becuase I did not put out garbage food, but now it is rubbing off on them, and they want to start a diet becuase they see how successful I am with it. Also, I have noticed I have a lot more energy eating healthy. Good luck!

Re: I am so sorry to be so rude....
I've definitely been having some 'issues' since I started on WW. I think my body is just in shock at all the healthiness going in! Once I started logging, I realized that I don't eat nearly enough fruits and veggies - once you put that stuff into your diet, changes happen. Plus, your body is definitely detoxing all the unhealthy stuff.

Re: I am so sorry to be so rude....
As you guys may or may not have seen on the WW thread, I was feeling pretty crappy a couple of days ago...queasy, nauseous, etc. COuldn't look another leafy green veggie in the face for two days. My chin also started to break out a little, which is weird because I don't have skin issues. The queasiness lasted a day and a half, and then I was CRAVING the leafy greens again. And the chin has cleared up and my face looks more glowing. It sounds like I may have been going through detox!

Detox happens... but of course leafy veggies and fiber will make you have gas. I have gas pretty much nightly.. my poor FH!!!! When I stopped eating sugar and carbs I had withdrawal symptoms- headaches, stomach ache, etc...

It is normal- your body is adjusting to the new types of foods! My God, what we have to go through though- I was so worried when this started happening, I went to the Dr.- she said it was normal and wouldn't last forever- Thank God!

Re: I am so sorry to be so rude....
Wow, that is weird, I had breakouts as well last week, they are finally clearing up. I have also noticed that since changing my eating habits last year, I cannot really eat red meat anymore, or ice cream/whole milk. It makes me nauseous now. Also, since I dont really eat sweets anymore, carrots actually taste sweet to me now! I used to hate carrots and broccoli, now I eat them almost every day.

Last SUnday I went to Serendipity for brunch with one of my BM and finally ordered an egg white omelet with asparagus and Jarlsberg cheese....could only eat half and was totally full! I used to be able to eat the whole omelet, the home fries and the otast! and two cups of coffee! I guess it's true that your stomach does shrink, which is excellent news...

Re: I am so sorry to be so rude....
Thank u all for your congratulations! I promise u all it will get better, if I can do it anyone can. I am finding it hard since I had root canal on Saturday to stop my night time munchies.... I have to take my antibiotics with food that will absorb the medicine, and today I went out and bought a black and white cookie. I plan on hopefully just eating a little bite of it and saving the rest for the next few days . but I hope I have the will power.... I also had enrolled in the local adult ed class for exercise, it was a lot less money then joining a gym, and I walk a lot. I am having problems toning my tummy, I know I can wear **** it in under garments the day of the wedding, but I would like to know that I look good without it. Yes, your stomach does shrink, I cannot eat that much anymore. That omelet sounded so good!
