What Can I Eat to Make Me Go???

[mayennaise]

Been going to Slimming World for a few months now and the weight loss is going well (2st so far), but for the last few weeks I find I am not going to the loo and weight loss has slowed down. Tummy is very bloated and I feel 'full' but I am not getting the urge! Any suggestions as to what I can eat to get things going again pse.......

Crisgal I have lost 3 and a half stones in 6 months and I have tried lots of diets over the years and this is the first one that has worked for me. If u go try the Extra easy u can eat loads and still lose weight. Nothing is banned like some diets u can eat most things within reason. Go along and join get the books and u will see how easy it is. Good luck.

mayennaise i had problems for years with not being able to go... nothing worked for me.... even when i started to eat lots of fruit it didnt work.... then i started to eat loads of salad and rice.... no idea why it would work but it did.. never had a problem since

Apples are the gentlest but for the full monty you need california syrup of figs....infallible!

I'm very surprised no one has mentioned psyllium husks yet! Try these with a little fruit cordial with hot water and this should gently help you.

Hi Mayennaise, my suggestion is Dulcolax - just take 1 before bed (and only 1!) and in the morning you will be all good. I can understand not wanting to resort to laxatives but if you wait until you are really badly constipated the solution may be a nurse's finger up your bum to get it all out :-0!

As a last resort I used a laxative last week - phew - don't want to use those again in a hurry!! Cleared me out though. I think someone hit the nail on the head - its the low fat diet that is doing it. I will have to eat a little more fat and see if that works. Will keep you posted.

you can get psyllium husks from most health food shops. These do much the same as Fybogel and should work out cheaper.

I agree with Pasta.. linseed/flaxseed.

Get some Chinese Feiyan tea. It's touted as a slimming tea but basically as it contains Senna the only weight you'll lose will be from your bowels! I get mine from ebay for about £8. If you really want to go, take 2....but stay very near the loo!!
