3 Weeks- Gas, Sharts And Stall?

[jennrus 176]

3 weeks yesterday. I am nervous because of all the gas. Im back to work and running to the bathroom every ten mnts to release large gas which sometimes does and sometimes doesn't have other stuff with it. WTH? I hope this goes away. Its been three days of this. On top of that i haven't moved a pound in three days! I thought this was when it "fell off"!

Sounds like the 3 week stall. I'm four weeks and it's happening to me. It'll pick back up eventually but in short, the lack of carbs is causing your body to convert some of the Protein you are eating in order to refill glycogen stores. That also causes an increase in Water in your system. Plus, your body is just starting to figure out that the "famine" isn't temporary and needs to make adjustments.

There's no telling how long it'll last because everyone is different but I'd suggest making sure you're getting your Water in and continuing with your exercise until it breaks.
