Mini Mikkipedia - Feeling Puffy? The Truth About Water Retention, Inflammation, and Creatine
Sign up to my fatloss in the festive season webinar here. https://www.mikkiwilliden.com/fatloss-in-the-festive-season-2026
Puffy face? Puffy body? Puffy mood? 😩 In this episode, we get into why you feel swollen—especially after a big workout, a salty meal, or adding creatine to your supplement stack.
Let’s clear the confusion between water retention, swelling, and inflammation—and why they’re not the same thing. I’ll also answer:
- Why your weight goes UP after a long hike
- Whether creatine makes you “smooth” or “swole”
- How to feel less puffy, faster
- Why your cycle might be making it worse
This is one for anyone who's ever stared at the scale in confusion. You’re not broken—your body’s doing its job. 💪
