I'm a skinny woman 5' 2" 100 lbs with a pot belly :( or maybe it's bloat idk but how do I go on a fod map diet when I'm looking to gain mass and muscle? Everything I read is always how to lose weight but never how to gain.
go to a doctor, could be so many things. I was doing omad for 2 years, just bloating a little after eating and suddenly I discover I got diastasis recti, that took my to an abdominal hernia... don't waste time, always go to a doctor they will answer better than a youtube video.
I've been bloated my whole life. I've found a lot of stuff bloat me - some kind of coffees, dairy (even cheese) and a lot of carb foods. It's awful. Thanks for the explanation Thomas!
I have had tremendous success eating a low FODMAP diet. After having my gallbladder removed, I started having terrible pain in my stomach much lower than where my gallbladder was. It turns out the GB held up a portion of my intestines and it being gone caused a crimp to form, not letting gas out and causing tremendous inflammation. After dealing with 2 years of doctors only wanting to do procedures, scoping both directions, I finally got a gastro doctor who diagnosed the gas holdup in 5 minutes. Within days of eating low FODMAP, the pain went away for the first time in years. Just felt like I'd share for anyone else who may be having the same issue.
I have serious GERD and gastritis/esophagitis. Lowering fodmaps helped me too! Especially the onions and garlic. I used to put those in just about everything, I had no idea that they are one of the worst contributors to GERD and GI issues. Sometimes simply cooking the vegetable and fruits helps make them easier to digest also. Happy you found relief!
All of y’all saying “I have a flat stomach in the morning but after eating I look pregnant” sis, I wake up and look 4 months pregnant, I eat something and look 6 months pregnant. It’s all visceral fat. Extremely dangerous. And I’m a skinny person. So that makes me Skinny Fat :/
Wow, This all makes a ton of sense. I was in a car accident, and I have four screws holding my hips and iliac together. I cannot exercise, but I can follow your diet. I'm 310 lbs. Standing at 5 ' 9" and I don't feel well!
@@benbelt5849 sure he can. Its encouraging and everyone has their own potential and limits. He may not lift or go as fast as shown but he can reach his own full potential
Adolfo: When you say you cannot exercise, is it because you are paralysed? Or are you limited to minor movements? I understand there are many reasons you may have for being unable to exercise, and i won't ask you to reveal private matters, I just ask bc if you're not paralysed, there are exercises that are modified that I do that work really well but don't use a lot of movement. I was also in a bad accident years ago that had left me with a broken neck and partial paralysis as well as TBI, but after modifying workouts to use minute movements, I've been able to increase strength and manage my weight. If you're interested, I can tell you some of the exercises I've essentially created for such a purpose. I am not licensed, I just have personal experience of not being able to move, and i have a passion for helping people. 😄✌
I knew I was bloated. My BMI says I’m 13% body fat. But I’ve been bloated literally 24/7 for the past like 4 months and it’s been both concerning and also debilitating. I’m seeing my doctor to try to get rid of it for summer. Imagine getting to 13% body fat and still looking like you’ve got a big belly. I’m so self conscious, and it sucks cuz tank tops are my favorite thing.
Hi Thomas, my father is already one month into keto and he's seen so many great benefits already. First is weight loss obviously and along with that his constant coughing has disappeared and there's no heavy breathing like he used to endure while on a high carb diet. Much love and take care always!
I'm 5'5" weigh 125 pounds and I am what you call fat skinny. It's only my belly that looks 3 months pregnant. I went to a plastic surgeon thinking a tummy tuck could make me look more symmetrical. He told me he couldn't make my belly flat because I had visceral fat under the muscle from a big pregnancy and pure genetics. His advice was to workout before considering the surgery 😢 I was shocked but appreciate his honesty. I since lost 5 pounds and can suck in my gut now when it wasn't engaged before. Don't fall trap to think you can't change your body. You absolutely can. ❤
I wonder why people thumb down for this great info that this guy voluntary give. What is wrong with these folks! You might check your self if you live with hate just seek help guys. You really in need for some.
I used to watch all your keto videos! I was on the keto diet for 6 months but I just couldn’t keep up with it, it really wasn’t maintainable for me.. I also had horrible side affects like the “keto rash..” I really loved what keto did for my anxiety though! I’m currently a vegan for 8 months now and feel so much better as a vegan! 🌱
C Bacon I was just curious on what you may suggest 😊 I don’t know if you’re aware that most meat on the market now a days is supplemented with B12, with this said I personally prefer to get my B12 especially straight through tablets. (I don’t know if you had a read of my original comment, but I did state that I was happily vegan, so in regards to your suggestion to eat meat. No thank you 🤣) I appreciate your concern though 🙏🏽
Thomas, I've been avoiding your ads for many years but today I finally saw this video and another one and I am thankful to you. Thank you for the insight , I learnt what a Fodmap diet is today from you, and now I've researched the foods that cause bloating and also about counter balancing the diet. This is actually true advice and I really appreciate that I watched your videos. This is an eye opener for me, and hopefully for many others. Kudos 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌 looking good as always! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thanks again.
At 11.39 he says not to mix fats and carbs but there's this book Eat Well Live well that says not to trust anyone who says this. It says carbs burn and protein builds and to eat them together! It goes on to explain the exact opposite of what he just said. Anyone else notice this?
I have found that a good way of testing whether it is bloating or not is too simply go on a water fast for 2 to 3 days. If your stomach flattens significantly in this short period of time it is definitely bloating.
I’ve been combining fats and carbs for years. So that’s probably what I’ve been doing wrong. I’ll adjust and watch the results. Thanks for this information
My upper stomach always get distended. It sounds hallow when I pat on it, mostly in the upper region. I have IBS, no gallbladder, and mild diverticulitis. Sensitive to wheat and chocolate, which causes bloating. Can't have dairy. It causes stomach issues and purple under eye circles. Can't have B vitamins, muscle relaxants or caffeine - they cause severe anxiety or ocd. Fatigued all the time. I'm grouchy and impatient. Life sucks.
You know I was never, ever fat. My body type is what you'd call a mesomorph but when I was around 45 I realised that I had IBS and other issues on an intestinal level and it's difficult to get my stomach in shape because the rest of my body is not what is called fat. Now I'm 53 and I was able to get my bloated stomach to be even with my chest but it's not easy.
Vid helped me a lot. I'm in gym 3 to 4 times a week and eating good healthy meals, but I decided to take a week off for health reasons/mental reasons. And before I returned back and after a night out my stomach seemed big and I was worried it was fat and all my hard work from being previously overweight to someone skinny and pretty fit had gone down the drain, all for nothing. But thanks to the vid I now know its just bloated because of an intake from 2 day's and nights before. Thank you !
Hey Thomas I’ve started Keto one week ago. So far so good keeping the macros in check. I use a carb tracker app on my phone. Have you done a video on these? Is there any you recommend over others? If you haven’t yet can you make a vid about these? Also... I just realized my multivitamins and D3 (gummies) have carbs. Any info on daily vitamin supplements?
I’ve always done heavy manual work and cycled ( but also admittedly a heavy drinker ) - 32 now and got an office position exactly a year ago , stopped cycling , no manual labour and carried on drinking . It’s terrifying how quickly I have deteriorated- lept into action last month and started lifting weights and rowing and I also stopped drinking . It took 12 months to go from perfectly healthy to an aching , fatigued ,bloated , flabby and weak wreck. Don’t take for granted your fitness . I didn’t notice until I stayed in a hotel with a really brightly lit mirror and suddenly realised I had huge love handles and was growing tits - I have never been a gym bunny or particularly fussy over my appearance but what I saw looking back at me in the mirror that night was truly awful .
Can you do a full video on combining fats and carbs? You're the only person I've found talking about it and I'm curious. Quantities of each, types, times between and how long to wait. Thanks for the content.
The most sure fire way to gain fat = a caloric surplus, people don't need to be afraid to enjoy their life and eat pizza sometimes. You can combine fats and carbs and still be lean
Butcher box is not cheaper than my local butcher. $12-16 per pound for beef?? Holy shit that's expensive!!! Most places are about $12-$14 per lbs. My butcher is $9.80-$11.50 per pound. Plus Butchbox is $129 for 8-11lbs of food. That a hell of a swing for a fixed price!!!
I have to say that I get really bloated when I have my period and I know that that's a really common symptom in women so, women, take that note too, I don't know if it is a different topic but just saying 😂
Pamela Rodríguez I think I might be experiencing this right now. I don’t know if it is related but I feel like I look fatter the past few days even though the pounds have been dropping. I’m an over weight person but my stomach wasnt this big 😔 but I seen this, I happen to be on my monthly.
Hi Thomas, great channel! I would love to see your take on a complete keto/intermittent-fasting/fasting year planner with meal plans. This would be super useful for those just starting out with the keto-lifestyle. I’ve been on the keto diet for 6 weeks, lost 28 lbs. I’ve watched most of the videos on your channel but putting it all together into layman's terms is quite challenging.
If you pat your stomach and you find out you look like you are 3 months pregnant and a male then definitely there is something wrong :)) Thank you for explaining this Thomas, I was really wondering about this when I was on keto. On carnivore I have 0 gas and bloating
Ahah, maybe an alien movie remake ? Anyway, I can't want to live without my family to spot putting vegetables in my plate ahahah, are you consomming dairy products as weLL ?
@@the.french.lobstercolinrau2728 Alien movie 😂😂 6 months I was strict carnivore meat and eggs, after that I reintroduced heavy cream with no side effects.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial great having somebody such knowledgeable and "popular" that try both "extreme" and consider every side of the nutritional coin . May people's health benefit from this channel Personnally, end of a 21days keto 5000 kcal challenge with nutrient-density approach... amazing discoveries
I gained 20kg of fluid overnight after losing 15kg over 32 days due to a still ongoing bug. My lymph nodes are swollen and burning hot. I drink a LOT of water due to Sjorgen's am never quenched. I also have a roll over my heart separate to my bloating lower down. That said I have severe chronic illness.
I have the same issue :( it's sad because I'm only 17 my doctor said it might be colitis or sibo because since 3 weeks ago I've been bloated day and night :(
Can I consume tuneric,cannel,cacao at the same time in my coffee? Is it safe ? Furthermore does it break a fast? Finally, does cocoa has the same effect as cacao ( the nitric oxide, fullness,mood)
What type of fasting should you do if your aim is fat loss and muscle gain please make a video on this specific topic. Like a full day of eating for fat loss.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I fast everyday for 16 hours and i consume all my calories in my fasting window but i am not loosing any fat and weight? Please help
I fast, eat once sometimes twice a day, low carbs mostly Salmon, Chicken , Steak, Eggs and Rice/Potatoes if I do eat carbs... and I'm bloated all the time.
I have a slight disagreement about one statement but overall this was good content. Fat is not directly absorbed into fat cells as suggested here (when your not on keto). For example, If you eat lard, it is not in a direct form to be absorbed. It must go through a process. Just like carbs, proteins, fat and oils must be broken down. They must be broken down into usable forms of energy, that process of breaking down carbs, fats, or oils is the law of thermodynamics. Carbs burn at the lowest temperature, and therefore it is converted into usable forms of energy easier, which is why the body uses carbs first, if you are doing keto and have rid your body of carbs, the body has to raise its temperature, as it does proteins start to break down, then fats start to break down and will be converted to energy, the next is oils those burn at the highest temperature. It just so happens that the energy requirement to burn fats and oils is higher and your body is kicked into ketosis, simply because it takes more energy for the body to raise its temperature to burn or break down fat. Whatever energy your body does not use is converted to fat. In the case of burning fat there is no excess energy (the usable form is blood glucose) available for uptake into the cells. This is the reason why a ketogenic diet works.
I started dealing with bloat (out of nowhere) about a month and a half ago. I got sick (vomit/nausea) and doctor told me to fast until I improved. I took a bunch of laxatives and seemingly solved the issue in a week or two. I’ve been dealing with it again though as I’m back to my regular eating routine, which has never been an issue until recently. I thought it was excess fiber. No. Too much beef. Nope. My calorie intake is around 3k which is actually low for my size. I’m walking/jogging 8-10 miles a week and eating the foods I’ve eaten for years. Starting to worry something nefarious is behind it all. Doctor prescribed me Nexium which I started taking 2 days ago. Hopefully it helps. Else wise I’m at a loss. I’m so tired of feeling full and bloated by barely eating anything. 🤷🏼♂️
No if you bounce the calories correctly enough and exercise enough in a fasted state - For 15 months I've maintain ± 3lbs a weight 6 lbs above my ideal weight - I eat keto foods and 16:8 fast 4 days straight 2 meals a day no snacks the next 2 days I eat clean carbs and keto foods and go 3 meals a day no fasting and no snacking the last day of the week I eat and sleep on demand what ever i want- Works for me.
What if low carb is below 100g..because i am eating high fat but not keto yet however still maintaining a deficit..still storing as fat? Now I'm worried
@@reneeatigy-mccray6746 are you eating enough cabbage broccoli cauliflower radishes and beetroot to help flush the liver- I don't do a lot of leafy greens but I do eat a lot of that stuff because I'm not in ketosis as such I have to balance the increased fats with the sulfur and other stuff to help phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification.
I'm older over 70. I have lost 50 lbs this year, low carb. My stomach was hard and basketball round. Now part of the time its really soft but if I eat anything it puffs up hard. I did the pinch and didn't feel anything and the pat test and across my upper abdomen and the right side I sound like a drum. I will spend some time on this, thanks for the clue. Great video.
@@melodyanderson666 ok, I looked it up and just wanted to say this makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks a lot, right or wrong it something to really investigate. I'm actually excited with hope .
@@melodyanderson666 I did some work with this, i hope you are doing well. I've got more to do and just wanted to mention i just had a blood test and red and white cells were good, PSA good. But more reading and know extra fiber for now. Work work work.
Hey Thomas. I would love for you to talk about MSM. I've started taking it and hope it will help to lower my C reactive protein, with the other changes I've made. Not sure if it will but I saw that it can help my body eliminate toxins, so can't hurt. Would appreciate more technical information about it ;) Thanks again for the great information!
I am in good shape but I used to get bloated after every meal. I added oats into my diet every day and due to the fibre content etc... I no longer get bloated after meals !
When you say don't fast every day, does that include even the shorter 13, 14, 16 IF fasting or the longer maybe 18, 20 hours such as the one meal a day fasting, please clarify, Thanks so much.
It might be problematic for those of you or anybody doing omad- I personally fast 4 days 16:8 2 meals and then switch to 3 meals on the next 3 days no fasting it works for me but I may switch things about
