Are you feeling fat and bloated?
When you feel fat and bloated after a meal, it has an immediate negative effect on your mood. But there are other, more serious long-term health consequences to feeling this way as well.
“Bloating or fullness after meals is common in adults,” said Dr. Ryan Zarychanski, associate professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Manitoba.
According to him “it can be difficult to separate feelings of anxiety about weight gain from these feelings”. As in feeling bloated and fat. It’s as if our mood and anxiety levels are directly associated with what we eat. And I know I feel horrible after I’ve eaten processed food.
Hiding behind our excuses is human nature
This makes sense and none of us like to think we’re getting fatter and we don’t want to admit that we’re feeling uncomfortable because we’ve eaten too much or too much of the wrong thing. It’s human nature to want to put a positive spin on things so we tend to make excuses for the way we look and feel.
If you’re feeling fat and bloated, what are the chances that you’ll be able to stay on track with your goals to get back into shape?
Address negative emotions
If you don’t address negative emotions associated with food intake now, they can cause long-term stress and be detrimental to your health in more ways than one.
That’s why plant-based medicine is important. “Let food be thy medicine, let medicine be thy food” That’s a quote by Hypocrites 2500 years ago and it seems that we’ve gone down the rabbit hole as far as food is concerned. Hypocrites knew the importance of a diet full of fruit, vegetables, grains, and legumes and yet we today seem to overlook their importance for mental, physical, and emotional health.
How a plant-based diet can help
So what can we do to stop the bloating and the feeling of being fat after eating? We can try a plant-based diet.
Plant-based diet contains no animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs and excludes processed food like refined sugars and flours including cakes, biscuits, pasta, and bread. And unlike the standard western diet a plant-based diet is actually good for you as long as you stick to whole foods and not processed foods.
Dr. Zarychanski said plant-based diets such as vegan or vegetarian diets can make you feel more satisfied after a smaller amount of food.
He also says plant-based diets don’t cause the same blood sugar levels spikes and crashes that processed foods do, which means plant-based meals help you avoid feeling bloated and fat.
Plant-based diets are brilliant for health benefits and the feel good factor, and they work like a charm for reducing lifestyle diseases and for weight loss too. Plant-based food can be delicious, and it makes your body feel and look good too.

To help with your weight loss and lifestyle disease reversal you may also want to pay particular attention to your gut biome which they call your second brain. If you don’t pay attention to your gut biome your chances of being as healthy as you want to be may not happen.
It’s only in the last 12 years that scientists have found out just how much of a part your gut plays in overall health. For this very reason I use Gut health by Arbonne. I used to use another brand but I found that this brand worked best for me. You might want to give it ago, I noticed results within a week or two.
So, the best thing to do to keep yourself from feeling fat and bloated is to avoid processed food, meat, and dairy products. When you stick to whole food plant-base diet you can eat pretty much the same as you used to but a healthier version.
