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


Posted by: Jodi

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


Posted by: donescobar2000

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


Posted by: Jodi

Well than I know why your bloated.


Posted by: Fit Freak

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.

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.

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.


Posted by: donescobar2000

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.


Posted by: Julie7Ulie

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).


Posted by: Jodi

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.


Posted by: Julie7Ulie

ahhh... a refeed. gotcha.


Posted by: donescobar2000

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"

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?


Posted by: Jodi

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.


Posted by: donescobar2000

do u feel the same when u refeed?


Posted by: Jodi

No because I don't eat like shit

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


Posted by: donescobar2000

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?


Posted by: Jodi

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.

whats the difference between carbing up and a refeed?


Posted by: donescobar2000

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.


Posted by: Jodi

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.
