I dont know if I am the only who faces this problem. I am obese (88kgs). In the evenings I am so much bloated up that it looks like I have 3-4 inches all over my body. But the following morning I am all fine. Earlier I used to have swollen feet also by evening, but after I started working out the swelling has come down. I have hypothyroidism and I drink a lot of water (4-5ltrs). Any advice??

    Are you tracking your sodium intake levels? If so, what do they look like? High sodium levels retain water and cause bloating like that.

    I generally eat less salt, no additional salt in food. Watever it is already cooked in food. Plus I have low BP (Not that I take any medication but I feel a lil dizzy at times)..

    I can only talk about my own experience, as I used to have a problem with bloating,
    until I pin pointed certain foods which were taking ages to pass through my system
    causing my stomach, boobs, bum , legs etc to look enormous.
    The foods I eliminated are: Pasta: Bread: and Fizzy Drinks. I started my diet almost 4 weeks ago
    and feel absolutely wonderful. There is no bloating and the weight is falling off my body.
    I lost 11 pounds in 2 weeks, and had to take in my clothes over the weekend, and can see
    my shape emerging when I look in the mirror from all sides.
    This is the first time my body is not experiencing bloating.....

    Which is good but many foods have enormous amounts of sodium in them already. Anything prepackaged (even "healthy" meals) are loaded with it. A footlong turkey sandwich from subway has basically an entire day's worth of sodium. It's something I'd pay attention too and see how you feel. As others said, carb-packed foods like breads and pastas have a tendency to do the same thing.

    I used to get very bloated every evening, also. I cut gluten out of my diet and I'm no longer bloated or tired.

    But how do I figure out what is causing the bloating? Do I skip some food and see? Generally in India, most of the meals has a sufficient amount of carbs in it. What you suggest?
