wolffox asked:
I now eat little fat in my meals, almost no oil, no meat, sometimes fish/shrimp(mostly boiled)
i eat whole wheat bread, fruit, Veggie, low fat, low sugar food, drink pretty of water, no diary food for me (i drink soymilk).
but why am i so constipated? every time i go to the bathroom, i have the unfinished feeling, there is always something left in my body, which is really annoying, because my belly kind of sticks out.
shouldn’t i have much better bowel movements since i am eating low-fat, high-fiber food?
can someone help me?

Ok, guys. I eat fish, only for the Omega 3 in it. And i love seafood in general, i eat fish like once the other week, so most of my meals are 100% vegan. I just thought it would be easier to explain it this way.
