I am guessing bloated...

but I have no idea. i know people who flux 3 pants sizes in 3 days... but they are healthy.

???? maybe you need to poo.

It's just bloat. But like you said... cheating needs to stop :) I had the same problem. Maybe you can have a small portion of whatever it is you're craving, then eat healthy for the rest of the weekend. Also - detox helps clean your body. Try that :) Hope it helps.

If you are noticing results from your workouts I would say it is bloating in that short of time frame. You may want to keep a list of foods you eat when this happens and cut down or avoid them even when treating yourself.

I also agree with the detox suggestion.

I don't understand what "detox" is when it comes to losing weight. Is it actually healthy and what do you do? I don't want to get into any bad habits.

foods contain toxins.
the toxins get stored in your body.
to detox... you are cleansing the toxins from your body.

it is a good thing

I am curious about detox too. How do you do it? what do you take?

There are lots of ways. It depends if you want to cut toxins out of your normal diet, or cleanse a specific part of the body (like the liver)

We have some of these ideas in the DS member group "Yogi Within"
http://dailystrength.org/groups/yogiwithin

I know there are a couple in "spring cleanse" thread and "5 rites of tibet" thread.
I just posted a fresh thread there to get lots more ideas.

I hope this helps.

Cleansing is the process of getting toxins that we take in from food, air water. There are too many for our livers to handle to the body will store them in fat tissue to protect us. The only way the body is going to release that fat tissue is to get rid of the toxins.

You will hear about colon cleasne, liver etc. Phooey. If you are interested in detoxification use a cellular clease. Research this website www.laurasanford.isagenix.com

This program does not involve fasting, or dieting or anything unhealthy which you can find other detox programs. It is organic..no checicasl ro drugs whihc is important. The nutrtion in these products all come from the heatltiest vitamins, minerals, herbsa nd minerals, fruits from all over the planet!

There ara short videos and product info on the site.

The only reason I am mentioning this is beaue if youa re going to try and cleasne I wnt you to try and safe and gentle one not one that strips your body.

Detocing is good but using the right program is what is important for longterm success.

Thanks Burmgirls, I will check out the link...

You probably pigged out on carbs over the weekend, right? That's your bloat. Back off the refined carbs for a day or two and the bloat will go away.

It's probably the salt from the junk foods. Salt makes my stomach bloated every time I notice! Even a healthy stir-fry, if it has a lot of soy sauce in it (which is full of sodium). Watch your salt intake for the next few days.

I just posted a practical guide to removing toxins from your body.

I was exposed to mold and became very sick but most antibiotics are also made from toxins. One of the infections of Lyme disease also releases toxins.

Some people have a genetic inability to filter toxins. When the toxins are too great for the body to handle things start to go wrong. For me that meant a fatty liver, lesions on my brain and infiltration of my hypothalamus. I have secondary adrenal insufficiency which means my body doesn't produce enough cortisol (the stress hormone) for my body's needs.

I write this because I believe the toxins have affected my endocrine system. I have a Cushings like syndrome as well which is cortisol excess. I have frontal obesity, swelling on the right and left side of my neck and a buffalo hump. I believe toxins did this to me. I don't mean to scare anyone but due to all the toxins in our environment many people are getting sick. Bloating in your stomach could indicate a serious medical condition like mine, bowel disturbances or ovarian cancer of which I am high risk.

sounds as though it is probably just bloated....some foods such as bread make this happens.

my 2 cents:
You're bloated. I went to a buffet with my boyfriend today and we both left feeling pregnant lol. Give it a day or so and you will be fine. Drink some extra water the day after you eat so much especially if what you ate was salty.

As for detox, I believe it is a scam created by people who can't or won't get real jobs so they try to suck other people's wallets dry. Your kidneys are your body's natural detoxifying system. Eat more fiber, forget the detox stuff.

I use to believe this as well but I don't anymore and I am committed to getting the word out on Lyme disease and mold exposure. Some of us 24% of the population according to Richie Shoemaker, MD cannot get rid of toxins from our body. It's a marker on the HLA-DR and there are several of them. Go to www.biotoxin.info for more information and no this is not for everyone. If you know of someone who is chronically ill by all means give them that website as you can recover from mold toxicity and Lyme toxicity but you need toxin binding supplements or drugs.

Just as with vaccinations and the Hanna Polling case which proved vaccinations caused her autism mold exposure and Lyme disease stories will be coming out soon and it is not pretty.

I do believe there are scammers out there for sure but there is also an inclination of our government and companies who have an economic interest to suppress the science of mold exposure, Lyme disease and Autism which will come out anyway and very soon.
