Healthy eating upsetting my stomach

Sorry (tmi) but I started back on my healthy eating plan new year and all seems to be going well I've lost 2 lb in 3 days, so far so good.

Today I had the same as yesterday hard boiled egg salad, I'm only eating one meal a day which is normal for me but the side effect has been diarrhoea.

I thought I was doing everything right, is this just an adjustment period or is my body not happy on this food?
I thought I'd see how other people found it at first.

I am struggling to understand how eating just an egg salad meal per day can be considered healthy.

But to answer your question, many things can cause the symptoms you are experiencing. Was the salad fresh or homemade . Eggs or homemade mayo have the potential to carry pathogens. Then not eating anything and sending down a fatty and salty meal can be hard on the gut, depending on quantity.
