Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hello all, I am in C1 W2 Day11. Everything has been going great so far!! I'm amazed at how " simple " this program is compared to everything else I've tried but I do have a few questions. I have been having some " issues " with constipation since starting a higher protein diet. I am still getting 30 plus grams of fiber a day, as well as drinking nearly a gallon of water a day but it does not seem to help. I actually had to see a doctor yesterday because of it and he told me that some people do not tolerate high protein diets very well. He told me that I should take digestive enzymes with each meal to help digest the proteins and maybe lay off the cottage cheese and dairy for awhile. He also said that because I just quit smoking a couple of weeks ago that may have something to do with it. He said some of his patients have severe issues after quitting smoking because their body relied on the nicotine to " stimulate " things in that area. Also. My first LBWO was awesome, unfortunately my abs still have not recovered over a week later. As a matter of fact I think I may have torn an ab muscle if that is possible. I have an area in my lower left abdomen that has continued to hurt like crazy whenever I do anything that uses the muscle in that area.(even turning over in bed is a challenge still) Even doing triceps extensions with my left arm in the air seems to make it twinge. Is it possible to tear an ab muscle and if so how long will it take it to heal?? Should I lay off of ab exercise until it does or continue with the workouts as scheduled?? Thanks so much in advance for any answers you may have. Blessings!! Cat Click Body4LifeHottie@... Fun Size Candybars DO NOT Make A Fun Size Butt!
