Yeah, I totally agree with troub- keep up the fat content up andstay hydrated!!!
I know everyone is different, but I've noticed that I get stopped up if I eat lots of nuts for my fats. That doesn't happen if I get my fats from avocados and coconut oil. Also, if you are eating a lot of dehydrated foods, you have to make sure you drink lots of water, way more than if you eat mostly fresh fruits and vegetables, which are naturally high in water content. Hope this is helpful!
Wow! Thanks you guys! This really is helpful. And I have felt slightly dehydrated, so that must be at least a part of it.
Belinda- I HAVE been eating a lot of nuts, I think.
Joannabanana- I've been considering doing the smoothie fast. I think I shall start that!!
ooo that so does not sound like fun!!! But if it works it works!! Yes, let me know if it works for you.
Green smoothies, green smoothies, green smoothies.

The greens are IMPERATIVE to pooing!! Take it from someone who has had struggles with this sort of thing. And green smoothies are just the most delicious way to get 'em down. However, I have had temporary problems with bloating after drinking green smoothies, but I also take enzymes with them now, and that helps.
Victoria Boutenko's book Green for Life is a must-read! She has a new one coming out soon with lots of new green smoothie recipes (not that you can't make beautiful ones on your own).
joanna, it is usually easier for me to have a green smoothie after i come home from work. it is so low-maintenance and I can just chill and drink it. I go through phases with them, drinking them every day for weeks, and then making more vegetable-based entrees for dinner.
