Bloating!!

Hey girls!

After a week of constant eating...I have seemed to pack on a few pounds. However, I look and feel extremely bloated. Anyone know how I can get rid of the bloat? I've been drinking TONS of water and it's not helping....

Help!!!!!

Take one of my cardio classes

sorry lee lee i could not resist.

drink Water, put on some baggy clothes and exercise to help get that metabolism going and low carb & salt foods. always works for me.

You crack me up!!!
I keep saying I'll take one of your classes...and I will! Promise!
I ate a salad for lunch and now I'm starving and want chocolate!!! I'll try to be good and follow your guidelines!
Argh!!!
Thanks Jen!!!

I had a salad too for lunch and it nothing for me. I wanted COFFEE so bad, but it was empty

I have a tea set at my desk...want me to bring you some???
I'll admit it...I had 1 small piece of chocolate!!

small piece is not bad. helps cure a craving!

If you get a craving for chocolate and you need to fill it, do what I do...I have york Peppermint paties or junior mints. They are the lowest point chocolates for WW. Or I also have fat free chocolate pudding.

Just make sure you always have something to snack on. I keep pretzels, popcorn, FF hot Chocolate, 2 point bars, and low point cereal at my desk at work. I also bring clementines, and a banana in for snacks....So i dont go crazy and raid the snack machines during the day.

As far as bloating goes...I agree with staying away from salty foods, also cut down on your carbohydrate intake.

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water, and if you have soda stay away from caffinated soda's.

If you must have coffee....drink decaf or have tea for the caffiene.....

I have not drank coffee in 4 to 5 months. I completely cut it out of my diet. Since you ladies don't know me, you wouldnt know that I was addicted to coffee, and caffiene. I would drink 4 20 ounces a day. One day I woke up and decided i wasnt going to drink it anymore, and I was also going to cut out or cut down my caffiene intake. I now drink tea.

There are many teas out there that are really good. In the morning i drink one cup of Black French Vanilla tea and that holds me for the rest of the day. After that I drink mostly Diet Sierra Mist or Water.

Now that I have gone totally off topic....lol. I know that you can also take water pills if you are still feeling bloated, and they should help you out.

Thanks Scott!!
I'm happy to say the bloating has gone down a lot in the past day!
You're too good with all those snacks! I need to stash some healthy stuff at my desk!!!

To get rid of bloating, drink hot lemon water 2x a day when you feel bloated. To make it, just boil a cup of water, and add the juice of half a lemon. It doesn't taste bad at all, and it always works like a charm for me.

Thanks Someday! I'm going to try that!!!
