anyone here dont bloat after pigging out on junk food?

[Manletbolic]

Never knew drinking lots of water (gallon+) daily and weekly can event prevent being bloated from pigging out on junk food.

ever since it's became summer and doing muay thai + humid hot weather i've drunken more water and i barely ever bloat now, if i do it will only be for 20 minutes or so

Sodium with high carbs are usually the main culprits in junk food and water retention/bloating. What sort of binging are you doing? I don't bloat from chocolate/icecream overloads.

Had carb refeed yesterday on ice cream. Normally it be cookies and ice cream, pastry desserts

[Aesian]

lol wish i was like that man... i get bloated without even pigging out

[tokelift]

Yeah I do get bloated but I don't mind considering how skinny I am....

[chickeneater]

I enjoy when I'm dieting with no positive results for a while, and then I splurge on junk and "whoosh" I look great the next day. Probably a sign of too much caloric deficit tho.

Increased water intake will dilute the blood and decrease ADH and Aldosterone production, resulting in decreased reabsorption of water in the kidneys. More water elimination = less water retention.

I aim for a gallon everyday but I don't always get that much. And yea I can eat a whole pizza without bloating, love it

wut? a medium cheese pizza will not only leave me bloated as hell but i'll get a headache too.

[ZeroRemorse]

I find I bloat of pasta and bread the most. I might even be glucose intolerant.

Something's wrong if you're getting headaches after eating a large meal. I'd look into possible causes.

maybe it's the sodium? we're taking ~3000mg in half an hour.

[AlwaysTryin]

How many times are you going to continue to make threads around the exact same topic OP? That's three now

[MikeK46]

A healthy system does a great job of maintaining homeostasis (such as by reabsorbing water), even if you do consume 3g of sodium in one shot.

Yea whats the deal behind this? Ive experienced this as well and next thing you know im actually losing

Fat cells might be filling up with water as you lose bodyfat and then simultaneously empty...

Thanks again.

Quick question if you dont mind me asking.

A little off topic here but by reading the stickies

Its states protein intake 1-1.5g per lb and fat intake 1-2g per kg

So my protein intake is anywhere from 100-120g and fats 50-60g

Should I count the protein and fats from the carbs as well? cup of oats usually contains about 5-10g of protein and 3-5g of fat

Yes, all protein, fats, and carbs count. They're individual macros, regardless of what foods they originate in. Once digested and absorbed, the macronutrient itself bears no connection to whether it originated in a bowl of oats or a piece of chicken. Everything counts so count everything

It's likely a dehydration headache. If you're already drinking a less than adequate amount of water, then you consume a ton of bread, grease, and sodium... any water you drink with/after that will bloat you up big time. Water retention is very much married to sodium consumption because sodium being an electrolyte, it has a minor electrical charge to it that is actually what holds the water in place. I swear I had a bookmark to an article that explained this in great detail but I can't friggin find it... anyway like MikeK46 said, drink more water for decreased kidney reabsorption, it also helps flush out excess sodium throughout the day.

Bad thing about dehydration headaches, is that you can't get rid of them quicker by hydrating a bunch once it happens, you just have to wait it out. Just prevent them by drinking water!

I swear I'm going to find that damn article.

Thanks man, didnt see like that. Have been just only counting my protein and fats seperately.

So i guess 3oz of chicken worth of 20g of protein can easily turn into 30g of protein in a given meal from say 2 cups of cooked brown rice. Correct?

Yes, 2 cups of rice has 10g protein. Proteins are large chains of amino acids. The only difference between the protein in your chicken and the protein in your rice are the quantities & proportions of the various amino acids. They all count toward your total daily intake.

Check out the "Proteins & Amino Acids" tables and compare. You'll see that your chicken and rice have the same exact amino acids, just different quantities & proportions.

An "incomplete" protein is simply a food that's low in one or more of the *essential* amino acids (there are 9 of these). And again, perfectly fine to eat (and count) because it is just adding to the "pool" that is your total daily intake.

Thanks again for the informative help

The golden rule: where sodium goes, water follows

Than what is the golden rule for the fluctuations? It's my understanding that if you increase sodium, you will retain extra water. However, if you maintain that new higher sodium intake, the water gained from original spike will dissipate back to normal levels in a few days. Why dis?

Just saw this now...have you tried drinking a gallon of water a day?

Not to my knowledge. If you significantly increase your sodium intake without changing anything else (fluid or potassium intake), the extra water retention shouldn't go anywhere.

Remember, the mechanisms of homeostasis try to maintain blood osmolarity within normal levels at all times. If the concentration of solutes in the blood increases, the hypothalamus will trigger release of hormones (such as ADH) to reabsorb water in the kidneys in order to dilute them and get the blood back to normal osmolarity.

This. I can have "clean" binges with no effects. But if I have high sodium(cheap, processed, fast food) on a binge I swell up like a stuck pig
