Odd question

Its Day 4 and I haven't had a bowel movement, and i dont feel constipated, is this normal? I've urinated like 10 times a day from the water though

If you don't feel uncomfortable I think it is fine.
My (unscientific) feeling is that "less carbage in = less garbage out"
So as you are eating less carbs there is bound to be less waste to get rid of.

Hmm - you do want to have some movement. You are eating all your veggies? If those are not enough try a fibre supplement - flax may work.

I don't "go" everyday - not sense I started Atkins. I eat my veggies and everything else, when I do it's not nearly as much as before -- I agree with Elizellen about the less carbage in = less out.

Ok thanks, yes i been eating my veggies, usually nion, tomatoes, lettuce (iceburg/romane) , and tonite some jicama, tomarrow probally green beans and some celery..and 50-70% of all carbs i eat are from teh veggies, rest mostly from 2-3 ounces of cheese a day

cheese binds some people - so watch that.

I try to eat fresh veggies daily -- they seem to help me keep things moving better than cooked veggies.

There is a current Poop thread (poop) that might have some advice.

Pre-Atkins I was always very regular but I had a lot of beans, more veggies, nuts/seeds, etc. During Induction there were days I wouldn't go at all.

As part of my supplements, I started taking Acidophilus Pearls to make up for the absence of my FAGE Greek yogurt. Took several days but they worked like a charm!

p.s. I get my Acidophilus Pearls at WalMart...they have the cheapest price I've found.

At first I was irregular (no jokes!) but now I go pretty much every day.
