How To Avoid The Bloat & Maintain a Flat Belly

September 28, 2011 · Filed under Mashonda

Do you ever worry about what foods you should eat before wearing a bikini or a really fitted dress? Well your worries will stop here. I’ve come up with a perfect list of do’s and don’ts to avoid that uncomfortable pop-up muffin top.

• Don’t go for salty foods or anything that may have a lot of fiber. These are the two biggest bloat triggers
• Do have something that’s protein based, like a grilled chicken salad, shrimp or tuna. However, avoid broccoli and cabbage; these guys are prone to make you gassy.
• Don’t drink soda or anything carbonated. They will only make your belly puffy.
• Never use a straw; you’ll take in excess air with every sip, expanding your stomach for no real reason.
• Do have a glass of wine or vodka based cocktails.

Personally, iced green tea is the absolute best thing you can drink before fitting into any outfit. It holds a tremendous amount of antioxidants and it will flush all the unwanted elements out of your body in less than 12 hrs. Follow these steps to look and feel flatter.

Live Healthy,
