start paleo

[Steve Forman]

Hey Guys and Gals;

I have a female client that just started paleo this week. she is on day 3 of no dairy, gluten, sugars. She has been doing very well. pretty strict.

She is report a massive amount of bloating. I some might be normal. but she is really complaining about it in a major way. she states that its a lot and really bothering her.

In day one she consumed a little more sodium that expected, in some of her cooking, but in day 2 and 3 she has cut that out. any other thoughts or does this sound normal?

Get to her to fitday everything and then we shall see....

I'd suspect the change in dietary fiber. How much fruit/veg did she eat prior to paleo, versus now?

[Steve Forman]

not much at all. I am working on posting the food log.

Most people first fuck up with shitloads of dried fruit and nuts, in my experience.

[Garrett Smith]

Especially the nuts (and seeds).

Eating a ton of fiber/roughage can also do it.

Majorly increased nightshades won't help matters either.

Drink a gallon of water a day.

Tell her to monitor her vegetables too, all may not agree with her.

My body is happy with more meat, fat and starchy veggies (and I poop just fine)....things like broccoli tear me up on the inside.
