How is it possible? I weigh under 8 stone (112lbs.) yet I still look fat! My stomach is permanently bloated and I look about 5 months pregnant! I eat healthily. I rarely touch junk food. I never eat after 5pm yet by evening my stomach is huge!
That was me for more years than I care to remember. I'd get on the scales every morning and peer in the mirror thinking I looked okay, then by midday my stomach would start to swell. I chose my meals with care eating as little as possible. I followed the rule to eat like a king in the morning and a pauper at night. I took up karate then 'went for the burn' with the Jane Fonda routine. I tried exercise bikes, rowing machines, toning tables, slender tone pads. You name it - I tried it. Anything to get rid of that damned fat belly but all to no avail.
Whey Protein Drink
Every day was the same. A slim silhouette in the morning, a bloated stomach by evening. I could do more crunches and leg raises (with ankle weights) than anyone I knew but my shape remained the same. I consulted doctors and underwent several unpleasant, invasive hospital tests to try and establish the cause of my bloating. Nothing could be found. I followed diets recommended by registered nutritionists. Still no success. I chewed charcoal tablets, drank peppermint tea and popped endless anti spasmodic pills in my search for a cure but the result was always the same. No change.
In the end I decided to find a solution myself and embarked on a radical elimination diet. I kept a diary and set up charts and literally lived for 5 days on nothing more than cornflakes and milk. Probably not the healthiest option, I grant you, however by the end of those 5 days my stomach was the flattest it had been in years. I then gradually began re-introducing foods one by one and noting down any bloating that occurred. As time went on a pattern emerged and I discovered that I could pinpoint the main cause of my bloating to a single ingredient in my diet.
Since that time my body image has changed completely and I have been able to control my bloated stomach. Sure I still have 'fat days' but at least now I have the knowledge to choose whether to live with occasional bloating or not. Strangely enough, now that I know how to control it I am less bothered when my stomach does bloat from time to time because I know I can get rid of it quickly by eliminating the troublesome foods. It all comes down to the old adage about 'knowledge being a wonderful thing'.
