diet blue whale
Help! I am becoming fat! I need advice?

I really eat a healthy diet (pretty much pescatarian as of late, lots of fruits, whole grains, oily fish, nuts, plant oils, veggies…no fast or processed foods on a regular basis) and yet, all of a sudden, out of the blue, I seem to be holding on to about 3-4 lbs this month!!! I am freaking out, because I think and feel like I look like a whale. I am a little over 5’10, and I *used* to weigh in at 136 lbs. Lately, I’ve been at 140!!

My belly is pretty much flat and I am in good physical shape, but I am obviously bloated, and I have no idea why. No upset stomach or nothing, and my period is over. I just had it last week, so I can’t blame this on water retention, can I? If so, why now out of the blue? I am 27 years old.

I am about to become a full-blown vegetarian because I am afraid I am going to become a blimp. I know fat sneaks up on people. I am not trying to engage in a fad diet, but if anyone has tips to lose 5 lbs., I’d love to hear it. I do exercise daily.

Salt is usually the culprit when you bloat. But you need to drink more water everyday, yeah more water, to help with the bloat.
The other thing you should realize is that you are getting older and with age, your metabolism does slow down, even though you do exercise daily.
Check with your doctor first, but you can start taking a multivitamin that is made to help keep metabolism going.
Even if you do become a vegetarian, you still need a balanced diet with proteins, carbs, sugars, fiber, all that good stuff.
