Day 5 of Defluffing
Ok, for me I feel like I’m filling myself with fluff, actually kind of like those moisture retaining crystals that once you add water they swell up . . . let me explain.
I have been wanting to do a cleanse and decided on a fiber type cleanse "Colonix" to be exact. I have never taken any kind of fiber supplement. This is day 8 of the cleanse for me and the process is first thing in the morning you take vegetarian capsules, 15 min later you drink the fiber, water thruout the day and then an herbal tea at night. They recommend 8 - 8 oz glasses of water daily. So, here’s what’s happeneing to me . . . like I said to start I feel like I have ingested those moisture retaining crystals, my belly is so bloated I am beside myself. Talk about muffin top! I have the normal muffin top and an extra muffin top under my bra. I feel like I’m becoming the whole muffin!!! I have been eating clean, drinking way more water than the cleanse recommends, but feel gigantic in my midsection. If this keeps up I think I may add the fluff that my fabulous fluffettes are defluffing!
Thoughts, comments, questions??? Anyone???

hmmmmm, I don’t know if I can help…but let me take a stab at it. It sounds like you are either retaining the water you are drinking (which is usually unlikely with drinking that much water) maybe take a look at your salt intake??? Or, it could just be that your body isn’t used to the fiber supplement and is bloating b/c of it. How much longer do you have on the cleanse? I am sure that once you stop you’ll feel better. Things like that thrown into the works can really wrench things up–but only as long as you do them! I am sure some of the other defluffers can help answer this one better for ya.
Be well (and way to go on the eating clean!!!)

hmmmm…..not sure either… i think your body is adjusting to the extra amounts of fiber and you should give it a little more time…. but that is me…and it is not my body that feels like it is growing (well mine is too….but not because of fiber…)

Give your body time to adjust and adapt. Perhaps you need to alter your mix of cardio and weight training. God luck defluffing.

Hrm, I’m not familiar with that stuff, but maybe it’s building up and it will flush out or something after awhile? :/ I hope it stops soon, doesn’t sound good at all.
