Hey everyone,
I'm attaching a recent picture of my body to showcase the current state of my body and in order to provide an estimate for my 'low body fat', which I believe is below 10%. Anyway, I'm very lean, very fit at the moment, however, I struggle with water retention on my face. Whenever I eat carbs, my face soaks up all the carbs and I look very bloated (almost fat just by judging by my face). My profile pic is me on low carb, me being on low carb - I have no problems with water retention or anything like that, however, I'd be hungry all the time. Now, I'm consuming a lot of carbs (and 0 starches), yet my face balloons in a couple of days and stays that way, while my physical shape is unchanged and I feel very powerful from all the carbs while working out. My question is, why would carbs cause my face to hold water? I've tried high salt/low salt and it doesn't help, I'm 90% sure it is the carb intake that is causing me to hold water on my face.
Any thoughts regarding this is much appreciated! Thank you!
