Tú cuerpo no es el mismo siempre, de hecho cambia mucho desde que te despiertas hasta cuando te vas a acostar. La diferencia de peso que puede experimentar una persona durante una jornada completa puede ser de 1 o 2 kilos y se produce por las diferentes funciones que realiza nuestro cuerpo durante el día. ¿Lo sabías?

Debido a este motivo, si estamos siguiendo un plan nutricional para perder peso, por ejemplo, debemos pesarnos siempre a la misma hora y no un día por la mañana y otro día por la tarde. De lo contrario, no tendremos un punto de referencia fijo al que ceñirnos.

Este dato, quizás desconocido por muchos, es el causante de un 90% de las frustraciones de personas que están a dieta. La bloguera de fitness, Lauren Tickner, para concienciar a la gente de que es algo normal por lo que no hay que preocuparse, decidió compartir con sus clientes y seguidores de Instagram una fotografía suya tomada por la mañana y otra por la tarde para demostrar gráficamente esa sensación de hinchazón que podemos experimentar a medida que avanza el día.

Morning vs evening ? Only hours apart. Having a fuller stomach due to eating & going about your day is not something you should be concerned about! It happens to all of us! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‼️Unless‼️of course you suffer from an illness. But ??here??I had been on a long haul flight which always makes you retain water, swell up, etc… and I had just eaten a big meal! So the way my body looks on the right is just a temporary thing which will go away through getting back into my normal: aka eating well, drinking lots of water, and doing exercise ?? #StrengthFeedGuide ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Personally, I do suffer from chronic IBD (inflammatory bowel disorder, it’s different to IBS), which is still being investigated into. The reactions that occur due to this are different to being ‘bloated’ from eating a lil’ too much, or from water retention from a long-haul flight (or something), like the pic on the ??right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, moral of the story: if your tum gets a lil more swelled up in the evening, don’t worry! But do see a doctor ASAP if it’s constantly painful and you think it may be of further concern. #StrengthFeed ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mental health & physical health are of equal importance. Please remember that. ?? (Sidenote: I am just showing the change of MY body throughout the day, I am in NO way saying that either body shape is better than the other ??, and yes. I am aware that the lighting is v different too which can also make a difference but this post is focused on bloating and water retention)

“Mañana vs tarde. Sólo horas de diferencia. ¡Tener un estómago más lleno después de comer y sin hacer nada más no es algo que deba preocuparnos! ¡Nos pasa a todos!”, escribió Lauren en su publicación, la cual acumula más de 6.000 “me gusta”. “A no ser que la causa sea por una enfermedad, en tal caso lo que hay que hacer es acudir a la consulta de un médico lo antes posible”, aclaró después”.

Before vs after an EPIC meal at the buffet! The Food Challenge???? video is LIVE ??the link to watch it is in my bio @laurenfitness! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ??When you eat a meal, no matter how big or small it is… you stomach is going to expand! So do NOT get upset if that happens to you… I know in this meal I ate hella cals (you’ll see in the video ?), but it happens even when I have a normal sized meal! If you DO over-eat, don’t sweat about it! Just get back to YOUR definition of normal the next day! Tomorrow, I’ll upload a pic of me after the meal vs me the next morning… you’ll be SHOCKED! The one big meal legit makes no difference to how my body usually looks in the morning… ofc if I started to do it frequently, then it WOULD start to show on my body via fat gain. I have YouTube videos about all this so make sure you check those free resources out! ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ??‍♀️I want to make it clear that i do NOT promote excessively overeating often… it’s all about finding a way of eating that works for you, your lifestyle, and your goals! This was just a bit of fun for youtube… and I know that I have a healthy mindset with food, so if I have a massive an over-indulgent meal or whatever, it doesn’t phase whatsoever (ie, I literally have 0 regrets). ‼️HOWEVER, I know a lot of you may not be at that stage. And I seriously think that finding the healthy balance with food should be a life goal that everybody strives for. It takes time. But you can do it. You can get my training and macro guides at: www.strengthfeed.com ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I promote a 80/20 balance ??… 80% ish of the time, I’m eating micronutrient dense, whole foods… and then the other 20ish %, other foods! It’s what allows for long term, consistent progress… and a healthy body and mind. That’s what #StrengthFeed is all about! ?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, go check out who won the food challenge… me or @connormurphyofficial. ? #FoodChallenge
