Stomach ache after cereal!!

[Lush__x]

Hi all,

So im on weight watchers and tend to have the weekends for my treats.

I gave up eating my fav cereal which is the kellogs crunchy nut clusters with the chocolate curls about a month ago when I started dieting again.

so as a treat this weekend I bought a box and had a bowl this morning...about an hour later I am greated with massive stomach cramps!!!

Has anyone else had this or know why this would be?

I would guess that there must be quite a difference between your two breakfasts? The Kellogs has got a lot of sugar in it and little fibre.

I usually have a protein breakfast and when I tried cereal again I got a stomach ache. It didn't suit my body any more.

Perhaps you need to find a different treat?

Yeah sounds about right...I have a protein shake or just started having porridge. It must me the sugar...I dont really eat sugar apart from a bit of honey in my shake and the fruit in sugar!

I change my treat every week, last week I had white bread

Ill give it another go tomorrow and see what happens x

My weekend treat is a cooked brunch on a Sunday. not the 'full Scottish' but a version with a sausage and rasher of bacon with lots of tomatoes & mushrooms & tattie scones.

I think to maintain weight loss its best not to think of being 'on' a diet rather than changing the way you eat for life. I still have all the foods I have always eaten (a basically healthy diet)but less of them. Good luck with your weight loss.

thats a great way of looking at it it all started with me clean eating but started to slip and get lazy. but weight watchers allows you to eat anything you want really thats why i love it

i love a full english...might have to do that next week!

Might be your body's way of telling you to stop eating that particular cereal. I always feel sleepy and bloated after cereals!
