If for example, when a person went lowcarb, their intake of high sodium meats (eg deli meats, or pepperoni/bacon/sausage, ham), and cheese went up much higher than normal, that could result in bloating, especially if they were actually sensitive to one or more of those ingredients.
As for fat, if you are dumping fat into the bloodstream in 'fat loss' then you will be getting all kinds of hormones, toxins, and other things stored in those fat cells. That has nothing to do with lowcarb, except it's usually good at helping people drop fat -- which is a good thing. That is just a fat loss issue.
Remember if you are releasing estrogen from fat cells it's not that it is being invented on the spot. Your body *already is holding that* -- the process is *flushing it out*. So if you're concerned about "excess estrogen" I would think that losing the fat so you can flush all the excess your body is holding OUT, would be a good thing.

I am bloated because I have had pms for two weeks, not kidding, I have always gained about 8 pounds before I start, and since I haven't started hench the bloating.
I am doing a scheduled re-feed this weekend. My trainer (hubby) has suggested it I will eat carbs Sat or Sun night for 5 hrs to restore my glycogen. Also I train very heavy weights, so I think it's much needed.
