Why am I always Bloated?

[Nikki66]

Every morning when I wake up it looks like I have gained 10 pounds in my face. I have like an inch of fat on my face. It seems to look more bloated than it was before I started cutting. Some days I look fat because of my face and others I look like a new person without even losing weight! I drink a ton of water, does anyone know why this is happening??

If you have large amounts of sodium in your diet, sodium will cause your body to retain water.

I believe the recommended daily amount its about 2500 mg for a healthy adult because it leads to blood pressure problems I think.

Do you eat alot of high sodium foods?

And if you are taking creatine, that is also a product that could make you look "bloated"

No I try and keep sodium intake to a minumum, like 1500mg max, and im not taking creatine.

What's your diet look like?

Several foods that I read that cause bloating : Broccoli, cabbage, & beans

Its something in your diet and I'm sure you could find a remedy for it if you search the internet.
