Youreatopia is a pretty awesome site. I disagree a bit with her counsel to avoid water as I think drinking water with salt added has reduced edema that comes along with eating sugar quite a bit for me.
30 lbs sounds like a lot, but once it's on it feels pretty good if you can handle the psychological aspects. Since starting to peat i have gained 50 lbs, but a good amount of that is in muscle in my shoulders, legs, and I swear my jaw has gained three pounds in bone mass. I actually found that if I lower edema through salt intake I look pretty good. It's the water swelling that really makes you feel big and bloated.
The fact that you have been bloated is a good sign that your body is having difficulty with the carb intake...you basically have to decide whether to hold on to how you are or to push through. On the other hand, you could be just reacting to an allergen.
What I want to emphasize is that "eating peat," whatever that is for you, is going to change your body drastically. That can be tough, and you can only hold onto the idea that "this is good for me I'll look good after a couple years," for so long before you start to realize how drastic the changes are. Just remember, our society's ideal of healthy usually ends in cancer and early death.
