how tf do you live life and eat whatever if you're always worried about bloating

[bddcoper]

of course losing body fat will help you not be bloated. if you've ever watched those videos on YouTube where gymcels decide to eat junk food for a week their face does not change at all. so either it's all in my head or im too high bf% (~16%) or I don't have enough muscle to "absorb" the carbs I eat/help control my blood sugar.

any experiences? will building more muscle help prevent bloating or is it more of a fat issue?

Less body fat will of course help not make the appearance of facial bloating even worse, but if you eat too much sodium or inflammatory foods you will get some degree of bloating.

Here's my take on it.

If you truly care about lean 100% of the time, then lower body fat, eat moderate carbs, have a "staple meal" system where you always have a weekly array of created meals, with good ingredients and macros that suit you. This is my method, ventures into unrealistic and neurotical, actually I may have developed orthorexia, but who cares, I'm lean, muscular big and meet my nutritional goals that way. If you REALLY care about this, just eat the same shit every day bro, you can also pair that with a mineralocorticoid inhibitor to make sure you're basically never bloated (though consider diuretics are potentially dangerous). This method obviously implies you never eat fast food, you basically never eat outside of home either, it will genuinely take somewhat of a toll on social outings and take a lot of effort.

If you are normal however and don't care that much then... just lose fat, being lean will take you way further than worrying about bloating, salt, potassium, cortisol, mineralocorticoid, keto, low-carb or the million different things you have to deal with to prevent facial water retention. It's probably not worth your time, and you probably don't even care that much, but you think you do because all the looksmaxxers are talking about it. Losing fat is your priority, it's the foundation, bloating is just a nice add-on.

If you're genuinely lean and arent inactive you shouldn't be getting bloating from a bit of bad food. Im on trt and oral min but dont get bloat easily. You just have to be about 10% BF and stay their. At 15% I would bloat easily and but you dont when you drop low in bf% enough.

Most of the people talking about bloating are just fat and/or inactive. Inactivity seems to make you bloated in my experience. Something to do with circulation because sedative drugs do the same. Just do steady cardio once a day or even a couple of sets of HIIT through the day and it will stop that.

Building muscle will help prevent gaining fat by increasing your resting metabolic rate but it wont make any diff for bloating.

thanks. at one point I bought furosemide but decided not to take it bc I didn't feel like it was worth it. I think even when I eat a lot of sodium I would have to do so for a few days in a row for it to really take a toll. even then once I workout and sweat it all out it is gone after 1-2 workouts. do you experience something similar?

these guys are what im talking about they look the exact same facially before and after

Do I experience the same? I wish I could give you an answer but, currently I'm eating the exact same 3 meals basically every day, that hasn't changed, so my sodium intake is basically static, given that I never fluctuate so never really get bloated, I don't know if sweating would or wouldn't debloat me a little, but I think it may be possible, sweat has electrolytes, particularly sodium, less sodium in your body will probably debloat you a bit.

However, I'd say that a big contributor to their bloating not being significantly worsened by these kinds of stuff is the fact that they were never facially lean to begin with, if you're bloated from the very beginning, making it a little bit worse won't really change much, will it? Or maybe it's really the muscle, who knows.

However, I'd like for you to ask yourself whether you truly care about this, do you REALLY care about not being bloated enough for you to change your dietary habits significantly over it? Again, do you really care and have this goal, or are you acting out of imitation because looksmaxxers or other people in the community talk about it? It could be a yes or a no, but be sure that it's actually what you want.

If it's no, then great, just lose the weight and enjoy your food. If it isn't, I'm gonna be real with you, you're gonna be limiting yourself, because you will have to track your sodium intake, your potassium intake, reducing inflammatory foods from your diet, eat just the right amount of carbohydrates or potentially implement diuretics to flush out excess sodium.

Life is better when lean.

Short answer is you don't. You can't "just live and eat whatever" if you want a debloated and lean look to your face. People who don't get bloated from shit diet are likely already somewhat bloated facially

Discipline is very necessary, all those actors and models that get thirsted have access to top notch compounds and yet live a diaciplined life to maintain their looks

Of course you get outliers but there sadly is no magic compound to keep you debloated
