anyone else experience bloating after doing their cut? I did cut very slow....still not all the way at cut b/c I am still hungry LOL but I'm experiencing a lot of bloat the past 2 weeks. My pants are so tight. I seriously want to cry.

    typically it's the opposite..most people deflate rapidly in the first week or two :frown:

    did you do the reset first?

    are you coming off a day or so of lifting?

    yep. did reset for roughly 8 weeks. I started heavy lifting about 3.5 weeks ago so that COULD be what's causing all my drama. I avoided jeans up until last week. I was fine until I put jeans on LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ughhhhhhh

    I had that, too. :/ I didn't really bloat during reset. Weird, huh? Guess we're mutants together.

    Are you drinking enough water?

    how has your sodium intake been? most my bloat comes from high-sodium foods. hopefully it subsides soon!!

    at least I have a mutant friend. LOL

    yes, I drink over a gallon of water a day.

    as far as sodium..I normally keep it under 2000 g but there were a few days this week when I drank beer and ate pizza one night to celebrate a friends birthday. I was MUCH more swollen around those days but the bloat from that has gone and I'm still left feeling like a whale. I eat a clean diet (minus the occasional pizza or beer night maybe once a month). I just don't get it.

    I didn't put on really ANY weight from resent until week 6, which is when I felt myself inflate big time. weird indeed.

    Many people bloat from dairy (milk, cheese, even yogurt). I changed over to almond milk and limit cheese, and haven't had a problem with bloating on the reset (week 8).
