Help! Whenever I wake up in the morning my stomach looks perfect - flat and toned. But then as soon as I eat or drink ANYTHING, it looks bloated and pudgy! Here's what I typically eat most days:

Breakfast - 500 ml lemon water, 1/4 c spelt flakes cereal, 1/4 c puffed rice cereal, 1/4 granola cereal (none contain wheat), 1/2 c rice milk, 1 tsp greens powder, 3/8 tsp cinnamon, 25 blueberries, 3 strawberries

Lunch - usually sushi (salad, sashimi, one 6 piece tuna/avocado roll) or a salad

Dinner - Fish or chicken, steamed veggies or salad with protein in it.

Snack - 1/2 c cottage cheese with sliced fruit (cherries, strawberries, banana, etc), green tea

I also will have dessert with lunch or dinner one day a week, and usually end up having a full blown cheat day on saturdays. I barely eat any salt so I know that's not the problem. I'm also on the pill if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

    Just by your breakfast- I would say it's fibre. That's OK, fibre is your friend. This use to happen to me but for some reason it stoped. Eat fruit first then your breakfast to see if changes. Fruit is suppose to be eaten on an empty stomach. Good luck!

    I was wondering if by the end of the day if your stomach was really bothering you and bloated? I am like that as well, I wake up in the morning and I am fine and by the end of the day I am all bloated. I dread going out now because now I have to take into consideration what to wear and all that jazz because if this ongoing problem. I have gone to the doctors and had Ultra Sounds and tests and nothing has come back abnormal so now I am trying to cut out certain foods at a time to see if this is the problem!!!! Its driving me nuts though because I never used to be like this and its the worst feeling:mad:

    you might be allergic to certain foods, i've had the same problem for the last 2 months, i finally went to see a doctor a little over a week ago and to my surprise, i found out i have celiac disease, also known as a gluten intolerance so now i'm working on adding gluten free foods to my diet which has helped a lot so far

    Do you possibly have IBS? Certain foods make my IBS act up and bloating is definitely one of the indicators.
