Hi there...I've been doing 1200 calories for about 3 weeks but have been feeling bloated for about the last week. It isn't that time of the month. Any suggestions on why or what to do?

    How much water are you drinking? I have more or less been eating about 1200 for the past 3 weeks, and around week 2 I felt extremely bloated. I upped how much water I was drinking, and immediatly felt better and also lost water weight.

    I can't see your diary but it could also be specific foods that are making you feel that way.

    Things like broccoli, brown rice and whole wheat pasta does this for me. Drink more water.

    What kinds of foods are you eating? High sodium, processed, and fast food will make you feel that way. Also, how much water are you drinking? Water will help so much with bloatedness.
