it is gluten that causes facial bloating.
nothing about the carb molecule itself would cause facial bloating. the 3-4g of water is stored within the muscles, not in the fat, so has no reason to cause facial bloating - if anything, leaner since it slightly stretches the skin more since your face has muscles.
typically people eat, bread, pasta, cereal, and biscuits regularly, which are very common carb sources. These carb sources are also high in gluten, processed, and high salt. since these are common carb sources, and people get bloat after eating them. Then they just correlate carbs with bloating, when it isn't the carb itself causing bloating, it's the gluten, etc that is causing it.
I can't see a reason why gluten-free, non-processed carb sources would cause facial bloating. vegans who are typically who are gluten-free mostly and eat high-carbs do not have facial bloat. I'm not saying go vegan etc, your diet should still revolve around meats, etc, but bananas, potatoes, and white rice for example have no reason to bloat the face.
being low/no carb is also shit for you, worse thyroid, lower test, low libido, higher cortisol, etc
