When Gas Strikes Amid Dieting

 A healthy diet is often accompanied with unsightly side effects which may include any of the following:

- excessive gas, belching, flatulence, bloating

- constipation issues and digestive upset

The introduction of a healthy dose of fiber is hugely responsible for those uncomfortable effects. Healthy foods tend to be good sources of fiber. With time, these unpleasant symptoms should decrease as the body adjusts to all the healthy foods it's now being offered amid the weight loss phase.

Foods that you may wish to limit until that gassy feeling lifts include: cabbage, broccoli, radishes, onions, garlic, brussel sprouts, beans, yams, pumpkin, apples, prunes, nuts and seeds.

When Constipation Strikes Amid Dieting

On the other Diet Hand, an individual is often bothered with painful constipation issues. A reduction in calories often translates to a reduction in food intake.

Constipation can be combated by adding more fibery foods to the diet, as well as increasing foods that are low in calories such as any of the following: lettuce, cabbage, onions, green beans, broccoli and prunes.

If you start to feel the effects of gassy issues, it's time to cut back. Needless to say, it's a balancing act.
