Constipation During weight loss


Constipation is related to mainly the combination of fiber and water intake of an Individual.
There are many factor that influence constipation, mainly the fiber and water intake. We need to have about 25gms of fiber per day in the diet ,but we do consume about 15gms everyday . 
About the water intake again it varies from day to day. If the water intake is less the body drains water from the colon and dehydrate it , which leads to constipation and problem in the bowel movements. 
Normally the bowls need to clear 3 times in a week, but this also can vary if the person has a habit of passing stools daily as per the persons routine. When we start a new diet like low carb or high fat diet, the body goes through a change in the fiber content so it can face constipation , but within few days it will get back to normal as the fiber and water intake will be regulated. Even probiotics can help in reliving constipation.
 There are certains food that act as laxative can also be included in the diet like garlic, beans,avocados,prunes etc.Again omega-3-fatty acid also in adequate amount will help avoid constipation, which you will get in fish oils. Another important aspect is body movement ie regular exercise will also help avoid constipation.
