bloating

Since having health probs, I've really tried to change my WOE.
I don't need to lose a huge amount of weight. I'm 154lb, and need to be
140lb.
For the last month, I've cut out out most sugar and fats, and am quite happy
to eat loads of salad, fish and veg, with the odd slice of meat. I have
porridge for brekkie.
But since doing this, my tum has been so very bloated!
Any hints on how to lessen the bloat?

The bloating may be a result of some of the vegetables you've added to your
diet. Here's a site to check for other foods that may be causing your
problem.

That's very helpful. Thank you.

It might sound obvious but I'll say it anyway - are you savouring your food
and eating it at a sensible (think slow)pace? Plus, are you allowing enough
time after eating to digest before doing anything that involves raising your
pulse?

The best advice I can give you is to never, EVER EVER rush a meal! Of course
this may be a million miles away from your problem but it's not going to
hurt anyone.

A valid point. I got the habit of gobbling at school, when the quickest
eaters got seconds!
I shall try and slow down.
(sorry I sent this to your email addy by mistake!)

No one mentioned that when you increase your fiber, you also need to
increase your water intake. More water, less bloating.

I drink water continually, that's one thing I'm good at. Might it be the
rather sudden change of diet to things like veggies and pulses, do you
think? Any idea on how long it takes for your tum to readjust?
