Thread: is it fat or water?

hey you guys has anyone experienced days and days of looking fat then you wake up and you look a lot less bloated? could this all be bloat?

drinking water it supposed to help with bloat right?
how do you keep it from getting that way..seems after a meal the body swells and looks huge but then out of nowhere it's leaner ..??

Eat less salt and less sugar, drink a ton of water (at least 8 glasses if you can) and moderate excersize every day.

Ive dropped 30 lbs since april and unfortunately, some mornings Ill wake up and Ill be so bloated I think Ive gained half of it back... I just do a few days of no salt no sugar and lots of water and youd be surpirsed at how quickly it comes back off.

I don't know...in the last month or so I've taken on this perma-bloat (I was totally about to start a thread on this when I saw yours). I've been drinking tons of water, I don't eat refined grain carbs much at all, and I recently cut out sugar again. My weight is going down but my belly still seems swollen!

Could it be fiber? Did you add more of it since you cut out the meat? I know I've upped the whole grains probably a little too much... :/

I feel ya. Anxious to hear people's thoughts on this...

popcorn has fiber huh??? my fave snack is kettle korn

didnt that doctor Oz guy say that if you ate fiber you'd lose weight ..if you look down and see your poop float that means fat is coming out?

LOL! I never noticed if my poop floats! .w.:

OMG!!! Thanks so much for this thread!!
I was starting to think I was going crazy!
Exactly the same thing going on, and also what Nasila described!
I even asked my doctor to check my thyroid because I just don't get it......
and was starting to attribute it to the over 40 thing!

I am very interested to hear everyone's thoughts and experiences with this....

Definitely not a thread to read while on your lunch break...like I was doing. ,r:;

I find that if I drink even one glass of wine a day I bloat - when I cut out alcohol completely I am much slimmer - sucks!

Time of the month makes a difference as well. Personally, I notice it not just when Aunt Flo comes but also two weeks after for a couple of days. Aren't hormones wonderful..g.:
