Side Effects Of SBD?

Hi everyone! I'm new to the Board and had a question. I started the South Beach Diet on Monday (Jan. 5). I'm on my 4th day now and since last evening have had a terrible stomach ache- it's almost like my body can't handle all this protein! I have been drinking a ton so that's not it and I don't think I need to go to "Metamucil phase"! Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so whether it will go away, etc.

Thanks in advance!

The artifical sweetner (splenda) was upsetting my stomach. I omitted it today and feel fine. Hope this isn't the case for you, but maybe.

Jessica, could it be that you are eating more veggies/fiber (1/2 cup at breakfast, 2 cups at lunches AND dinners) than you are used to?

Thanks for your advice! I think it may be more veggies than I'm used to. I've been eating eggs and veggies for breakfast, chicken or eggs and veggies (salad or other) for lunch and then turkey burgers, salmon, chicken and more veggies for dinner (plus the snacks, and the ricotta desserts). Except for a few pieces of sugarless gum I haven't been eating sugar free candies. I feel a little bit better today. For some reason adding lemon slices to the water has helped!

You're "stats" are such an inspiration!
