Sometimes when we start to "clean up" our diet, replacing processed food with more whole foods, things can get a bit backed up.

This can happen because it may have been to much of a change to fast. With the increase in fiber and protein from more whole food options the digestive system may not have had enough time to adjust and if you water intake is low, then it is easy for things to get backed up.

So what to do if this happens to you.

1. increase your water intake

2. reduce the amount of protein and fiber you are taking until things get moving again. Once this happens let the body settle into the new protein and fiber levels, before increasing a wee bit.

Personally, I know what this feels like and it is not fun and makes you feel like you are moving in the wrong direction with your fat loss goals because you are bloated and uncomfortable.

Remember you do not need to go from 0-100 right out of the gate, slowly make small changes, allow the body to adjust and those small changes will add up over time. You just need to be patient :)
