Hi, I’ve been on plan for twelve days now and for the past few days I’m constantly feeling uncomfortable as if I need to go the toilet. When I do go I feel normal again for about an hour and then the uncomfortable feeling starts all over again. Any advice you can give will be appreciated

    If you feel like you are constipated and need to go, try having some additional water (particularly warm fluids like hot tea) and either some magnesium or vit C - excess amounts of either of those will help you will go plenty.

    Are you possibly eating too much fat? Do you consume MCT or coconut oil? Are you eating anything new?

    Also, if it’s constipation, you may want to get more water but make sure you also get more sodium. Low sodium could very well be a cause of it in the first place as you don’t retain fluids properly if sodium is low and low carb diets will cause you to excrete water and sodium.
