Has anyone else experianced big bloated belly while dieting ?

Maybe replacing the refined carbs (crumpet) with vegetables, which have a lot of fibre, will help.

Hi I do the 5:2 diet - very low calories 2 days a week. I always bloat on those days but it's temporary and I'm back to normal overnight

Km not sure why it happens but it doesn't worry me now

That shouldn't happen unless your 500 calories includes carbohydrate. ???

[gingernut49]

That's the carbohydrates causing that.

It could be a manner of things, weight does fluctuate over a day, drink plenty of fluid and eat wisely.

Swap the carbs for some protein.

I've known for years that carbs are my enemy - you've just confirmed it

I eat bread, no bloat, whereas homemade soups with lentils or other pulses bloat me, so do some veggies.

You perhaps need to drink more water. That is the advice I got from a nurse as I had the same problem!Good luck
