Bloated? Tips for Elimination...

Hints on Regular Elimination

I probably get at least 1 contact per week from people on the Advocare Eating Plan who have questions about “elimination” either in general, or when on the 24 Day Challenge.  When you start removing a lot of the unnecessary carbs and junk from your diet, some people notice constipation, or a change in the frequency of elimination.  This is entirely normal, but I have lots of suggestions for “improvement”.

During the 24 Day Challenge, use these tips to avoid sluggish elimination:

1. Drink LOTS of water.
2. Eat salad as directed in the instructions.  Use spinach, romaine, and other higher fiber content greens instead of iceberg lettuce.  More nutritional value as well as fiber content is an added benefit.
3. Eat fibrous fruits and vegetables. Raspberries are great and you can get them frozen without sugar when they are not in season.  The calorie content is also low.  This Fiber Content Chart (Seen Below) from Harvard University should help you make the right choices (just don’t pick cereal, pasta, bread, etc.).
4. Use small portions of raw almonds as your snack.  We get the box of 100 calorie bags of raw almonds (BJS and Sams carry these as well as supermarkets).  Almonds do have a fair amount of calories, so you don’t want to overdo it, and the portion control certainly helps me.
5. Get some exercise.
