Diarrhea: when fat is successfully broken down, it must exit the body ass tool. You mayor may not notice an increase in bowel movements. Typically, diarrhea is mild and lasts no longer than 36 hours.
Increased urination: loss of water from your tissues is normal following the procedure and is a good sign that you are removing fat from your body. Fat enters the blood from the lymphatic system, increasing the “thickness” of the blood (oncotic pressure), and pulling water from tissues to carry the fat to the bowel for removal.
Flu-like symptoms: this is rare but can occur due to toxins in the fat being removed via the lymphatic system, causing congestion. Congested lymph pathways can lead to aches, pains, water retention, soreness, and flu-like symptoms.
Increased Hunger: this is the body’s attempt at returning to normal by re-accumulating fat. Do not increase food consumption! Follow a low carb, high protein, high fiber diet to combat hunger pains
