I have had some health issues. Anyway recently I checked my measurements. I eat approximately 1600 cals if not less a day. I have 1-2 meals and a few coffees with onions milk (I am lactose intolerant). My meals are chicken, some form of potatoes or rice and veggies. If I have breakfast it's oats and fruit. My doctor said my diet is fine and is not causing my weight gain.
I spend a lot of time on the PC due to work (mainly dealing with complaints and resolutions). I do 10-30 mins exercise bike a day and walk almost daily.
I've started bloating like crazy. I can't possible be pregnant (100% not possible) but it's happening so fast that it has caused purple stretch marks on my stomach. I have no idea what could be causing it.
I measured myself today with my dress tape 112 stomach 115 hips 83 waist 100 bust
Now my bust is usually 109 and my hips were 119. My waist was 89 and my stomach was 96. I've noticed while everything else is slimming my stomach is getting bigger.
So does anyone know how to identify what is causing weight gain in a specific area?
Some food causes bloat. Identify what it is. Experiment with different type of food. If you are lactose intolerant ditch the milk. Even the s o y one. It is still milk. You don't need it. Coffee too, since it is useless. Unless you enjoy a cup of it in moderation. Any type of meat will cause releasing of gasses as it breaks down in the intestines thus causing a temporary bloating of the stomach. Understand that everyone is different and there are millions of ways to get fit, so you are not restricted to blindly following a program that happens to work for some people. You use the programs as an inspiration and find your own way.
