Lately I have noticed that when a pic is taken on my 7Dmk2, the lcd monitor will show a pic that is normal followed by the same pic but with certain portions of the pic being blacked out. It keeps doing this loop until I shut off the lcd monitor buton. Any ideas as to why this has occured?

Check your "Highlight Alert" setting. Those "blinkies" are showing you areas of the image in which highlights are blown (overexposure). I think it is under the Playback 3 menu (blue section, third tab).

Mitesh...thanks so much? That did it. Somehow, I must have enabled that function without realizing it. All is now back to normal. No more "highlighting".

A lot of folks really like to have that feature on. When you see a lot of area blinking it means you have portions of the image overexposed and there is no data in there.

For many folks that tells them to let in less light to get an acceptable picture because they are likely going to throw out an image with areas of overexposure. If you don't have that on you may be surprised when looking at them later on the computer and discover you have unusable images that you thought were okay on the back of the lcd.

Do you mean you see this in every picture?

You may want to check your exposure compensation setting ...

Agree with SeattleBirdMan, highlight alert is a very useful function. Highlight alert should be the default setting, not something you have to select. Useful to de-select but should be active unless you DON"T want it.
