Loose bowel movements
Hi all, I switched to a plant based diet 2 months ago and ever since then, this is how my bowel movements look like. Is this diarrhea or is it normal? I have also lost 7kg since the past 8 weeks while on the diet. Are both these things normal? Thank you

These are towords loose motions. But if frequency is less than two to three times in a day. Than nothing to worry. But if you are loosing weight it may be good or bad depending on your present weight. Because plant based diet brings weight of overweight people towords normal. But if already thin built then diet needs modification ACCORDINGLY.
