Upset stomach during diet? -

Is it normal to get diarrhea while losing weight? I ve been on a diet this week and have lost about 5 lbs and have been drinking a lot of water. Is it normal to get upset stomach while beginning a weight loss program?

Are you eating or drinking anything unusual like more fiber or taking some pills that were for weight loss? Diarrhea can be caused from some weight loss pill and or more vegetables and fiber in the diet. It is not unusual to get upset stomachs if you are eating highly spiced foods and you were not before, or again, it could be caused from a diet pill. It is not typical to have diarrhea and or an upset stomach while dieting. It is possible you may have picked up a bug, since it only been going on a week.

It depends on what you are eating or taking... If you are taking diet pills or some sort of diet crap you should do some research on the ingredients. Some of that stuff might give you an upset stomach and/or diarrhea.Or, if you are eating a lot of fresh vegetables and fruit and your body is not used to that sort of thing, you might get an upset stomach and or diarrhea.Difficult to really know what is going on with you because you have not given many details.5 lbs is a lot to lose in one week. Too much. The best and healthiest way to lose weight is to eat the right foods: lots of fresh vegetables, some fresh fruit, some whole grains, some protein (beef, chicken, fish, and soy), olive oil and herbs, very little or no dairy products, no sugar, no fried foods, no fast food, no highly processed foods, no white flour products, etc.

maybe ur body isent used to the change. or u might not be eatting enough.. is ur diet acctually healthy? are u eatting enough? or the right things? u need to ask those.

Maybe your not eating enough... or your body might not getting used to the changes. Make sure that you eat enough food, and keep drinking water.
