liquid diet


this is my breakfast from the other morning.

it made me laugh because of all my drinks.

i've been trying to get rid of NINE POUNDS of bloating from my monthly stuff, so i've been drinking lots and lots of water and natural diuretics (i.e. cranberry juice & coffee). i've been mostly eating "watery" foods too.

it's working. i'm 3 pounds down. 6 more liquid pounds to go!

  4. i've been going to bikram yoga for the past few weeks and i can really see a change in my body!

    you have to drink so much water during the day then you get to sweat it all out in class... you feel really great afterwards.

    give it a try!

  8. I am trying to drop a few pounds as well but mine are from too much eating and cooking in the first few months of my marriage. I tried to be a good wife and all that happened was I ballooned. So far three pounds down and I have another 13 to go. Yuck. Good luck with your liquid diet!

  11. You may already know this (I, however, just found out recently) stay away from salty foods. They make you bloat even more.

  12. yea I've been on a diet for a month now. I got back from recovering from my surgery and I found that none of my pants fit me anymore!! Since I had foot surgery I am not able to really work out yet so I decided to go on a food diet/healthy eating kick. It is totally working too. I started it a month ago and I got 10 pounds since and yesterday I put on a pair of jeans that didn't fit me at all a month ago. :D And they fit comfortably too.

  17. you should try kombucha. I gain lots of water weight each month due to the same things... I've been trying to stay steady since my wedding is coming up and so I started drinking Kombucha. It is kinda pricey but really really helps with bloating!
