Day 3
Goal: Banish Bloat!
The sodium levels in many dishes can cause our bodies to retain water -- resulting in a weight gain of up to 4 lbs.! To de-puff, try these tips below.
Down more water
For maximum results, go beyond your usual 8 glasses and aim for 10 daily. "This amount helps the liver and kidneys flush out the dehydrating, water-retaining toxins that can come from a high-fat diet," says Dr. Lydon.
Savor every bite
Speed eating can cause you to swallow more air, which can lead to bloating, according to Elizabeth Lipski, Ph.D., a nutritionist in Asheville, N.C. Instead, eat slowly. Researchers at the University of Rhode Island found that women who chew at least 20 times per bite of food consume 210 fewer calories a day.
