Certain foods can lead to a dramatic swelling of the stomach no matter how healthy you are.

Even people who get paid to look good suffer from bloating.

Fitness blogger Tiffany Brien reminded the world of that fact by posting to Instagram.

She took two photos of her stomach -- one as soon as she woke up, and one 12 hours later just before she went to bed.

The difference is striking.

"No I'm not 6 months pregnant. It's just my food baby," Tiffany wrote. "We are not all what we seem on social media. I thought I would share a bad day with you to show you nobody is 'perfect' and it is ok to have an off day where your body just decides to not play ball," she added.

Brien is one of many stars who have taken to the internet to prove that life on social media is never as it seems.

"Don't worry girls, it happens to the best of us, all part and parcel of being a female!" she added.

Brien thinks a "delightful cocktail of lack of sleep, stress, hormones and food intolerances" was the cause of her bloat, so take note.
