back to bloat. bloat is caused by a variety of factors, including overeating, eating too much of certain foods and undereating. the bloated feeling that comes from overeating at a particular meal is a normal response that comes from eating too much. actually, for people who allow their body’s internal mechanism that senses satiety and hunger, feeling bloated or full after overeating is a sign that your body’s self-regulating system is working properly. obese and severely overweight people, and career dieters who have come to rely on external means to regulate their caloric intake, are likely to ignore both their body’s signal to eat and to stop eating when full, until they are uncomfortably bloated.

eating too many carbs is another cause for bloat. carbs hold 3X their weight in water, so after a giant bowl of pasta or in any other instances where a person overreats this kind of carbs – pasta, rice, bread, potatoes – this can occur. some people are way more sensitive to carbs and can feel this way to a greater degree than normal. eating a lot of fruits and vegetables is another sure fire cause of bloat. there are other “good” foods that cause bloat and bother people for varying reasons, foods such as beans, nuts, legumes etc, that have been pushed as being perfect foods by some gurus, can cause people a lot of problems.

undereating and/or skipping meals throughout the day is also a huge cause for feeling bloated for a variety of reasons that are too involved to go into here.

there is no question that certain foods can contribute/minimize the symptoms and occurrence of bloat however, none of these reasons are related to weight issues and certainly not related to belly fat. furthermore there aren’t foods that can cause people to lose a certain kind of fat in a specific location just as there aren’t exercises than can do this.
