I just started it and I feel as if all the raw fruits and veggies are making me BLOATED:(. Which in turn makes me feel swollen and heavier. HELP!! Is this normal for the first weeks??? Or perhaps this isnt working. Thanks so much!

Have you increased your water intake drastically? This is another thing you may want to phase into. Why don't you tell us a little about the Warrior Diet? I think I have read a review of the book, but that is all. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --
GetnFitin05 Posts: 37 Joined: 2005/02/14	2005/02/14, 02:56 PM You nailed it for me...I have increased my fiber and a ton of water. I think I take in about 6 24 oz bottles a day. I gave up the soda pops:( So far I havent missed them. On the Warrior Diet, you basically eat raw fruits and veggies during the day with water. You are allowed to eat whatever you want at night, just so you eat your food in order. Such as, Salad, Protien, and save your Carbs for last. I just bought a new Home Weight System and cant wait for it to get set up!! Thanks so much for your responses. :big_smile:

	2005/02/15, 10:23 AM You'll probably want to get some protein during the day. Otherwise your body will likely begin breaking down muscle for energy. you'll continue losing weight, but that's not the kind of weight you want to lose. I hadn't heard of this book before. What's the title and who's the author? Sounds like an interesting concept.

So far, I have had alot more energy with the Raw fruits and Veggies than all the junk I use to eat. The book is very interesting. He basically takes you back to the "caveman" days with the eatting habits. I am not one to weigh myself (too depressing), However I have noticed that i have more energy with the change in my diet. :big_smile:

If you are getting smaller but not denser, more toned looking, then you are losing valuable muscle. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --

Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, seeds, and nuts all contain essential and nonessential amino acids. ~b
