Why do I feel nauseous after eating veggies?

Question

I’ve started on a bit of a low-carb diet. I’m not really big or anything and I’m actually quiet fit (I run everyday), I just want to get rid of a few “grab-able” (as my boyfriend calls them, lol) places around my stomach and legs.
My lunch and dinners have consisted of veggies, salads and some form of meat. I’ve pretty much cut out most white “comfort” foods (i.e. potatoes, bread, pasta, etc) accept for cereal in the mornings. (There is NO WAY I’m giving up cereal! Na-uh! No way!)
So far I’ve lost a noticeable amount of weight in quite a small amount of time! Feeling great!
But why is it that when I eat a plate of mostly veggies for dinner, I get nauseous afterwards? I figured it was because my body was adjusting to the change, but it’s been over two weeks now and I still get nauseous.
Any theories?

Answer 1

At first glance, I would think its because you are still getting used to the diet. However, if its been two weeks, you shouldn't be feeling nauseuous. It may be because you are not balancing your meals. Try eating the vegetables with something else with them. Keep a balanced nutritional diet, while keeping the carbs down and the other nutritions (fiber, protein, potassium, iron, vitamins) up. Generally, it shouldn't take more than 2 weeks to get used to a new diet. But everyone reacts to change slightly differently. Be sure to take in enough food each time you eat. try to follow the nutritional pyramid. If you run everyday, you will need more than a plate of vegetables to compensate, considering that you are already in the healthy weight range. Also, dont forget to eat about 3 different kinds of fruit everyday. Other than what i've mentioned before, give yourself a little more time, compensate for your body, and keep yourself balanced.

If you still feel nauseous after the next week or so, consult a health physician. He/she will probably be able to help you more and even run tests on your body to point out exactly what the problem is. Without a detailed diagnosis, I can not pinpoint the exact problem.

I have kept to a diet somewhat similar to yours with added nutrition here and there; havent been sick in 6 years.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You still may not be used to eating that much veggies. I remember I've tried to eat like that during my cross country season, and at times, I felt nauseated as well. It was probably because I ate too much too fast or that I'm not used to eating that much.
