[@musiclover148]

Don't overlook CUSHING'S DISEASE if you have chronic face puffiness. Puffiness that comes and goes is one thing, and has other causes, but if your face has become puffy and stays that way, you need to see a specialist and get tested for Cushing's Disease. My older sister had Cushing's and had to have gland surgery at Mayo Clinic.

[@helloman5576]

But doesn't Cushing also go paired with weight gain?

Very helpful! I have recently, over the last 4 months, started to eat lower carb (along with exercising) and have lost about 25 lbs now. I do notice, though, days where my eyes will be puffy in the mornings or times when I seem to retain fluid in my hands, which is very frustrating. Overall my fluid retention had improved tremendously... just need to recognize my body still responds quickly to poor choices in food / drink. Thank you for this information, super helpful!

[@protekt1Cloud]

Keep in mind your body holds water extra for other reasons too, including lack of hydration especially in the morning.

[@lf7065]

It could be an issue of too much stress on your body, which can deplete your cortisol which would trigger inflammation and swelling.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

No problem 😘

[@thedouglaspodcast]

Same.. I definitely don’t need to lose any weight (I’m severely underweight thanks for being so broke I can’t eat how I want 🙃) but I *really* didn’t need to eat the pint of ice cream I had for dinner last night.. + quesodeas with bdubs hotsauce that has 50% DV salt for lunch today.. both combined that caused my face/eyes to swell so bad I barely look like myself 🙃 sucks that just two things can throw your body off that much 😭 it is nice that it alerts you to start taking care of yourself tho.. before you do irreversible damage 😩

[@kingtj8773]

Every time I eat just a little sodium my face gets puffy and bloated, it really throws me off my day. I heard cold ice water and cream of tartar helps with it, I tried both methods. The ice water method does nothing for me and when I take the cream of tartar I have to take an access amount to get my face back to its normal stage everyday. About (100 grams) which causes me to flush out the waste almost like diarrhea not by urinating. Ive tried eating less calories and even getting more potassium from foods and even supplements & vitamins, still no change. Even when I drank a gallon of water a day I still retain all the water in my face whether I am hydrated or dehydrated. The doctor diagnosed me with hypertension a few months before I started knowing how bad of a issue it was starting to become. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure when I was a younger kid but the face swelling was never a problem. If I eat the same food and the same amount as others they don’t gain any weight but I gain about 5 pounds overnight. I am 17 years old and it doesn’t matter if I eat healthy or unhealthy the salt causes my face to bloat and puff even if I have a tiny bit of salt. Days where I do have quite a lot of salt I feel an ache on my side where my kidneys are. I am rarely hungry, I can go hours without eating and eat very little calories some days and feel perfectly fine. I don’t know if I need to lose any weight. I’m about 160 pounds 20% body fat with some amount of muscle mass. Please help I don’t know what the cause is and would like to get issue taken care of as soon as possible 🙏

[@brittneer8940]

Look into chromium picolinate or berberine. Could be an insulin resistance issue. Worked wonders for me.

[@kingtj8773]

If I tried the keto diet would that also work?

[@drtkyjdrtom45]

Dude just lose body fat. That is the only way. 20 percent is way too high. 10-12% is ideal for facial aesthetics. And also, eat foods with potassium like crazy. As I said; lose weight. Nothing else

what? I´m confused right now."if Insulin is high plus Glucose your body is going to store water and salt"... ahum.. i thought, if the body gets something with starch/sugar/carbs glucose is going to rise and therefore the body is going to release some insulin. So how can a high insulin accur if theres no intake of this kind of food? Wait now your saying high glucose+ high insulin means insulin resistance. So what is the conclusion? Everybody with from time to time puffy faces does have insulin resistance (In my personal matter: I´m thin still with my own problem areas, low BMI, but i do have puffyness under my chin through my neckdoublechin-puffiness). And now your saying natrium -> salt is the problem. Salt +Carbs = Puffiness, so carbs only with less salt, is that what you trying to say?
