Consumption of sugars and starch can make us lose only sugars when we work out or feel hungry. But cutting down on those can help body feed on body fats when needed, rather than starch or carbohydrates. Cutting carbs from your diet have yet another advantage, it reduces insulin levels that ultimately result in the expulsion of excess sodium and water from the kidneys thereby helping lower the bloating.
