I am not overweight or looking to lose any weight, but I definitely hold on to bloat after not-so-great meals with alcohol. Last weekend we went out with friends and I swear, I’m still bloated from the event.
We just booked a spontaneous vacation, it’ll be pool/beach focused, and I’d like to de-bloat as much as possible before then. Details: I do moderate cardio twice a day outside (run in the AM, bike in the PM) and sweat, 5 days a week. Is there anything else I can do, other than upping water intake, watching sodium, and cutting carbs? |

| Eat watermelon, in all seriousness. It’s a natural and effective diuretic. |

Good to know, thanks! Perfect time of year, too! |

| If heavy eating and alcohol make you bloat- just avoid those between now and your trip. It doesn’t seem like you need to do anything special. |

| I quit drinking and my bloat disappeared 100%. My stomach is flat like I’m in my 20s/30s again and I didn’t think that was possible at 56. |

Wow, how much were you drinking? Was it all bloat or did you lose actual fat? |
