I feel like whenever I eat..I get chubbier?

Question

I don't mean over time, I mean like, throughout the day.

I am skinny, I know I am. I'm 5'3", girl, 120 lbs., and most of the weight is in my thighs and butt, so yes..my torso is skinny.

I'll wake up in the morning, and I'll be skinny, and my stomach will be relatively flat.

But..over the day, if I eat anything more that like, a sandwich and maybe a small snack, I feel like I get..chubbier.

I'm not just talking about my stomach swelling up a little (thats normal when people eat..) I mean, I feel like I developed a new layer of flab, and I can poke, and grab where I couldn't before..you know what I'm saying? haha..

I just sort of, gain weight it seems, and over the day it just gets worse.

I guess it could be bloating..but does this sound like bloating to you?

I'm lactose intolerant by the way, and yes..I eat lactose, but that usually just screws up my, um, you know, digestive track..can it cause this bloating/chubby feeling too?

Oh, and when I wake up in the morning, I'm skinny again.

=[ I don't get it! Hope I didn't confuse you.

Diets?

Answer 1

Go to your Dr. and request the following blood tests:

1) Hemoglobin A1C and a fasting serum glucose (to see how you handle sugars)

2) serum estrogens

What to do:

1) cut out all sugars; ensure an adequate amount of fiber in your diet (20-25g/day is sufficient and a small bowl of All-Bran Extra Fiber will do the trick) and, if you are blood type A, go to your local health food store and get a supplement with "betaine HCL"; take at least 300mg at each meal; Cut out ALL DAIRY

2) take saw palmetto, di-indole methane and resveratrol (find at your local HFS) -- and try to do a liver cleanse. If your estrogens are high, it will make you feel pregnant and bloated.  

Answer 2

it might be all in your head.  If you worry about this then you'll feel as if you're getting fatter.
