Hi guys,

My husband is very thin... 145 at 5'10", right at 26 years old and decently active like me. He wanted to go on the diet with me to help me and especially to break his own carb addiction and alter our whole family's way of eating.

However, he only has, at max, 10 pounds to lose. I can't convince him to just go onto the OWL phase because he really wants to go through the jumpstart to Ketosis and get his body to let go of carbs. (We're of Taoist/Buddhist beliefs and it's important to us to let go of things we are addicted to.) He wants to do this partially as a spiritual thing, but also to make sure his body doesn't have a carb addition.

The problem is that he is getting diarrhea and a general combination of nausea, moderate cramping (directly before the diarrhea) and general ill feeling in his stomach. He has NO other symptoms to suggest that he is sick and he rarely ever becomes so, thus I'm of the belief that the diet is causing it.

[Edit] I tried to post a pic to give his build but the forum won't let me post it. It's at www . arsieiuni . net / about . html ... there's two pics of him on the right under the section "Rohan"

Any information or help is appreciated! Should I really push him to go on to the OWL Stage? Is this problem likely related or is it alright or ... any advice?


Thanks!
