Ok, so you didn’t make it to the Rec. Center as often as you’d like and Margaritas with your girlfriends just couldn’t be passed up! Don’t fret if you didn’t get in a good sweat this week, there is still time to slim down before you slip into that teeny – tiny costume! Follow these tips and you will feel and look less bloated and more toned within a day!
1. WATER!!
Water is the absolute easiest diet tip anyone can follow! Water will flush out toxins, which will help fight any bloating. Water also fills you up, so drink a large glass of water before and after each meal, and you will find that you will feel satiated a lot sooner preventing you from over-eating. Tip: You can also help your water intake by eating goods such as melon!
2. Non-Bloating foods vs. Bloating foods
Non-Bloating foods: All fruits & veggies and lean protein such as chicken or tofu!
Bloating foods: carbonated beverages (even diet soda!), pasta, salty foods, beans.
Make sure you lower you’re your sodium (salt) intake right away as it is one of the worst culprits for causing bloating. And sorry ladies, but the Halloween candy will not help either!
3. Get moving!
If you have been slacking on the gym, remember that you can get a great workout in right in the comfort of your own apartment or house!
