I have been living the paleo way for nearly four weeks now and have not had any weight loss. This doesn't really bother me as I no longer feel sick when I eat. My problem is my stomach. It seems fine in the mornings and looks fairly flat but by the time I've had breakfast and about a litre of water it bloats to make me look about 6 months pregnant. This has been happening for ages now and I can't figure out why. I used to think it was because of all the starches and carbs (bread, pasta etc) I was eating but I have now cut them out and still get bloating. This may sound strange but is there a way to drink water? I never used to drink more than a glass or two until I started paleo and now I am trying to consume a minimum of two litres a day. I'm wondering if this is perhaps too much for my body. Should I be slowly increasing my water intake till I can comfortably reach two litres or should I continue the way I am? I am 150lbs, 5'6", medium frame and would like to lose around 30lbs. Is the problem my lack of stomach muscles? I haven't gotten round to starting an exercise routine yet. I'd like to have an idea how to fix this as the trousers that are comfortable for me when I put them on in the morning, are totally tight and constricting by lunchtime. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated Cairo X
