i feel so bloated today. i started introducing one good carb a day to my diet - a piece of wholegrain toast. i totally stopped eating fruits because they made me crave sweets.
but with starches, i feel so bloated!
if one piece of toasted wholegrain bread can do that to me, just imagine what my former diet did to my body? all that rice! all those cakes and biscuits! gawd, no wonder!
i totally want to go back to phase 1 again, but they don't recommend it. the south beach diet is supposed to train you for a lifetime of healthy eating. and not having any carbs at all is not healthy.
maybe i just need to add to my exercise regimen.
or maybe i need to take diuretics?
how do you get rid of bloating?

No! Don't take diuretics. They can't be good for your health. Just my opinion, though.
How about drinking a lot of water? If you have plenty of water in your body, your body would want to get rid of them instead of storing them. WW recommends six 6-ounces of water/day.
actually i do drink lots of water, more than the recommended 8 glasses a day. i still felt bloated, until i went back to no starches.
thanks jim. i won't.
Hi pat! I feel bloated sometimes too. I just drink plain green tea or camomile peppermint tea-- without sugar. It always does the trick for me. I also heard that drinking hot tea after a meal is better than drinking a cold drink--it helps dissolves the fat in the food you've just eaten.
