Bloating Quesiton.

Am I alone when I say that after a carb up I feel bloated?

**Jodi** · 07-24-2003, 05:38 PM

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. What did you eat?

**donescobar2000** · 07-24-2003, 05:40 PM

Sheesh what didn't I eat. LOL. I ate some potatos, Lots of bread. Veggies, Everything.

**Jodi** · 07-24-2003, 05:45 PM

Well than I know why your bloated.

**Fit Freak** · 07-24-2003, 05:46 PM

Yeah...mainly for 2 reasons...first being you're likely not accustomed to eating that volume of food at one serving so your stomach is full and second....if you're eating low carb and then eat a bunch of carbs you will naturally hold water since carbs cause you to hold more water.

The good thing is that it should disappear the enxt day.

**donescobar2000** · 07-24-2003, 05:47 PM

I hate this. I ate so many greens today. Lol...I did not even feel like doing cardio. I hope I feel Better tommorrow when I blow out my back.

Can anyone explain why I wake up today still feeling like a house? Geez feeling this way sometimes makes me feel like quitting. Hey but why stop? I made it this far. I feel uncomfortable. I really want to do my HIIT. This feeling is snatching my motivation.

**Jodi** · 07-25-2003, 06:17 AM

Water Retention!

Me too

I feel the same way sometimes. Like - today. But that doesnt count because I ate way more than I was supposed to last night

What do you eat exactly on your carb up? Out of the sweet potato, oats, veggies, banana and butter, I think oats bloat me the most.

**donescobar2000** · 07-25-2003, 06:39 AM

It had to be all the bread I ate. I ate a whole lot. I ate canteloupe, potatoes, lots of green veggies. Also had a smoothie.

**Julie7Ulie** · 07-25-2003, 06:51 AM

Whats bread?

just kidding , Jodi. (if your reading this..

)

Why are you eating so much bread on your carb up? (This is good for me to know because when I start maintaining my cut I want insight of the why's about everything).

**Jodi** · 07-25-2003, 07:16 AM

Julie he's not carbing up. He did a refeed. They are different and he shouldn't have had the bread. He would have had better results and no bloating if he stuck with slow burners.

**Julie7Ulie** · 07-25-2003, 07:26 AM

ahhh... a refeed. gotcha.

**donescobar2000** · 07-25-2003, 07:27 AM

Well I am at the gym as you read this. I am fighting the retention. Lol...I hope this crap goes away. I'm about ready to do my HIIT. As soon as I finish with the back extension. "Run Forest Run"

**donescobar2000** · 07-25-2003, 08:01 AM

Well... we live and learn.

Well guys I drank load of water today. I also did my normal lifting. I don't know what is going on wtih my body. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't know if I have plateaued or what. I look at my face today and it looks kinda chunky. I was gonna have a cheat today at the Outback Steakhouse. I was looking forward to that Bloomin' Onion. Well I am passing on it. It seem like If I carb up I gain weight. I know you guys may say it is retention but how long does this last? I don't know if you guys know this but my weightloss in the past was done all wrong. Basically Starving myself. It was not till a year ago that I learned good eating habits. I believ my metabolism is shot and If I eat normal I gain weight. Any thoughts? I do know a lot about fitness but damn what the hell is goin on with me?

**Jodi** · 07-25-2003, 12:39 PM

Very simple, you ate like shit yesterday so now you feel like shit today, tomorrow and probably Sunday too.

I tried explaining but you didn't listen.

**donescobar2000** · 07-25-2003, 12:57 PM

do u feel the same when u refeed?

**Jodi** · 07-25-2003, 12:59 PM

No because I don't eat like shit

Now when I binged the other day I felt like shit for 3 days.

**donescobar2000** · 07-25-2003, 01:08 PM

I ate like I should to reach maintenece plus a little more. This is from a refeeding article I have. What is ur refeed like?

**Jodi** · 07-25-2003, 01:13 PM

My refeed consists of only slow burning carbs. Oats, Steel Cut Oats, Sweet Potatos, Brown Rice, Legumes, Grapefruit, Berries, Peaches, Apples

2G Carbs x Bodyweight divided between 5 meals and 6th meal only protein and a bit of fat.

So next time I have a refeed you suggest I do the same huh? 340 Carbs 170 Protien 30 Fat.

By the way Jodi Check this out. Are you following the formula in the article to figure out your matence cals?

**ashbash** · 07-25-2003, 10:31 PM

whats the difference between carbing up and a refeed?

**donescobar2000** · 07-25-2003, 10:34 PM

To me its the same. Jodi states it's something different but It sounds the same to me. The only thing I think is different is the amount of times per week you carb up (refeed). On a CKD diet you do it once a week. On refeed you do it every two or three days. But a refeed may also vary where you are in terms of bodyfat. When you get to the 10 percent range your refeeds should be more frequent. Anything about 15 percent should be every 7 to 10 days.

**Jodi** · 07-25-2003, 10:51 PM

A carb up looks like this: Carb Deplete for 3 or 4 days. On 4th day eat your same diet as your deplete days and then on your 6th meal of the day you eat, Oats, Sweet Potatoe, 1 C. Green Veggie, 1 banana, and 1 T. Fat source

Then you wake up the next day and deplete again and cyle that every 3-4 days. Its one meal (Carb-Up) consisting of a shit load of carbs not entire day of carbs (Refeed)

You can read about it in the Sticky at the top of the forum titled Newbies Start here.
