Popcorn & bloating?
 

Has anyone else noticed popcorn causing bloating? I love it as a high-volume, low-cal snack, but seems like every time I eat it, I am up 2-3 pounds the next morning!

To be honest, I am the complete opposite... if I eat popcorn before bed, I am always down the next morning (not that I eat it that often). Funny how different foods affect different people in different ways.

I WISH popcorn could be my magic overnight weight loss pill! :)

It sounds more like an issue with salt. Are you using microwave popcorn? I have bloating if I get microwave but absolutely none when I use my air popper - and its a whole lot cheaper.

I only use the air popper. Sometimes I lightly salt, but sometimes I sprinkle w/ Splenda & cinnamon for a sweet treat, & I still bloat. So nope, it's definitely the popcorn, not the salt!

Hmmmm.... I was wondering the same thing when I stepped on the scale this morning. I dont eat popcorn often, but I had a lot of it last night - air popped with a bit of garlic salt. I was up 1 pound and my tummy felt a little bloated. I am interested to see what others' experiences are.

May be going out on a limb on this but popcorn is VERY absorbent and if you're also drinking a lot of anything before bedtime maybe by the time you've woken up in the morning it's still retaining some of the liquid through the digestion process :shrug:...either way, does the weight not come off in the next day or two??
