Who else /bloat/ here?

No matter how much i work out (or don't) and keep a stable diet, I can't ever lose my belly or face fat and get properly lean. Is it from all these diet sodas? They're the only bad thing I have. Is it dairy or gluten related? Fuck boise

>stable diet
>diet sodas

It's my only crux, along with bread sometimes (twice a week at most). I've never been overweight in my life but I've always had this damn bloat on me.

The real question is why are you complaining about being bloated if you know the fucking reason and you continue to do so?

Because I'm a brainlet. I only just recently realized I have acid reflux because it never harmed me, it was just annoying having to clear my throat all the time. If I stop drinking soda, I will lean up?

So this is all it takes?

Dude if you have acid reflux it can and will get worse when you’re older if you keep drinking stuff like soda or dairy my mother has it so bad it fucked her entire esophagus and she literally can’t go 2 minutes without coughing a lung up sometimes
On that note assuming you’re eating good healthy wholesome food and possibly working out. Yes. Some people can’t just hope to calorie deficit their way to abs, you gotta give your body the extra push by taking initiative

Thanks for the decent reply man. Does your mom have an intolerance to gluten also? I'm about to go traveling and it will be hard to stick to a paleo-esque diet.

Do you know how old she was when she finally got it all sorted out? It's expensive having to drink Gaviscon after every meal too.

Gluten is not in my vocabulary who tf cares about gluten
She never got it sorted out you can’t fix an acid-damaged esophagus lol

I'm trying to figure out what exactly is causing the reflux and excluding particular foods for a few weeks at a time is a good way to test for it, but I'm trying to speed it up.
How old was she when she realized it was an issue and started a diet (or similar) against it?
