Getting into your skinny jeans isn’t just about shifting fat. It’s about saying goodbye to excess water too. Many of the foods included in this diet, including lots of fish, vegetables and good fats, have been chosen for their cleansing and de-bloating effects, so you’ll look and feel slimmer fast.
THE RULES:
Drink plenty of water: eight glasses a day. And if you’re feeling peckish, add more vegetables as they contain water as well. This will curb your appetite and help tackle water retention.
Eat slowly. Bolting your food can lead to poor digestion, which can cause a bloated tummy.
Exercise! It’ll get your digestion moving to further de-bloat you.
