Why would Doritos do this??

[gshoemate]

O.k., yes I cheated!!! I ate some doritos on the car ride home from Disney, but just a few......handfuls. So this morning I wake up and am excited to fit into a pair of shorts that haven't fit right since I had DS almost 2 years ago. I was bragging that they were a little lose. So I eat the doritos in the car and we get home and the shorts were so tight it hurt. I was so bloated! Boy was I kicking myself for eating them. This was the only bad thing I ate all day, so why would doritos make me bloated? Any thoughts? I know I'm feeling pretty crappy since eating those bad carbs! I learned my lesson.

Did you also drink alot of water to feel bloated?

Doritos are high in sodium so I suspect water retention. Drink lots of water because drinking water releases water, it doesn't retain it.

Thanks Robinrs, I thought that was it but needed it confirmed here on WISH.....darn tempting doritos....they were just calling my name.

Ginger, I have the same problem sometimes!! Doritos are a passion of mine and then I pay for it the next day!! LOL

matter of fact i'm here b/c I just had three days off plan! oopies! Valentine parties at school, my sweet babies actually gave me chocolate and sat and watched for me to eat some, dinner out with hubby, potluck friday night.............oh man it was just TOOOOOO much!

so here I sit - sunday morning - bloated to all get out and remembering that is NEVER worth it. now i won't show a loss for at least one week. i had to wear my "comfy" jeans last night didn't even bother trying on the once tight but becoming looser jeans. maybe be this weekend i'll be able to wear them again.

ahhhh the love affair with Valentine's day candy and goodies......


anyhow -- wanted to say too -- have you tried Baked Doritos? I buy them for myself as my kids don't really care for them, the crunch is different, but the spices on the chip are the same and satisfy that "taste". I really like the cool ranch ones. I do WW and they are 15 chips for 2 pts.

I can't eat the baked doritos now because I just started doing atkins again but YES I love the baked ones. In fact i like them better than the regular ones.

I agree, its probably definately the salt! Doritos are so good. I have only had them once since I started back with WW in June. Luckily they were the baked kind. Doritos are a red light food for me. Give me a bag and I can't stop.
