| Re: Side Effect I think any sudden and drastic change in eating habits can bring on either reaction. Extra fiber and water are actually the cure for both. Don't be surprised if it changes over to the other. But fiber and water will help

| Re: Side Effect One word comes to mind... Toxins Every time I tried to start the Atkins I would get diarrhea. This time I did a cleanse first. Check it out if you like: itvventures.com/116994 and this time I have not had that or the other negative symptoms I have had in the past. It is called Almighty Cleanse and I really like the effect it had on my system. Good Luck!

| Re: Side Effect I had this problem as well. It cleared itself up and I've never had constipation problems on this WOL. I figure it's from all those veggies

| Re: Side Effect Thanks for the input guys. I'll just keep an eye on it for a couple of weeks and see what happens. I've always been a big water drinking but my body is not used to so many vegetables so that may have something to do with it.

| Re: Side Effect Are you sure you're eating the right veggie amount? (2 cups etc.?). Believe me - I'd much rather have your problem than the constipation that I had when I started. I have found that I LOVE metamucil caplets. Easy way to make sure you're ALWAYS getting enough fiber.

| Re: Side Effect Hey all thanks for the input... it's already cleared up so I'm thinking it was just more of a diet change thing or a detox thing.

| Re: Side Effect Glad it has cleared up! I always get it on this WOE because of the fiber and the water but when I started taking all the vitamins I got seriously constipated so watch out for that! I take psyllium husks daily with my vitamins and it keeps everything flowing smoothly!
