![]() Jill. Fit: 7 Ways to De- Bloat After Too Much Indulging. Whether you over- did your weekly cheat meal or the Memorial Day BBQ gave you the excuse to really loosen up the reins on your clean eating, here are my 7 go- to moves to help de- bloat after a day/night of starchy- boozey partying, good luck! The occasional cosmo : )#1: Wake up and immediately drink 1 L of plain water, preferably with freshly squeezed lemon in it, and continue to drink throughout the day. This reminds me embarrasingly of the summer I spent living & working on Martha’s Vineyard when I was 2. ![]() I lived there with my best friend and I hate to admit that I was either hungover or boozing the entire time, and sometimes doing the latter to avoid the former (hair of the dog, anyone? NOT recommended for fat loss lol!). Not a good look–but note the obvious ridiculousness of a 2. Anyway, despite the daily tanned- and- dehydrated morning stomach, by the end of the summer I was the heaviest I had ever been! Green veggies like spinach, asparagus, kale, mustard greens, collards, cucumbers, celery, romaine, broccoli, etc all contain a high percentage of water and contain lots of minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium to ease water retention. Good, clean carbs like oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice and pumpkin are all great staples of a fat loss nutrition plan, however, the day after a binge fest, I highly recommend going psuedo- Paleo. Starch breaks down into glucose in the body as part of the digestive and absorptive process and glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. With this storage, glucose brings in water particles with it, retention. This is the phenomenon that occurs when people embark on low- carb diets–there is a large initial water weight loss because glycogen stores deplete. As tempting as it may be, do not wake up and fast, it will slow your metabolism even further. Water- soluble B vitamins, in general, are involved in energy production in the body, and also act as potent diuretics. You will notice your urine is bright yellow after you supplement with a B- vitamin complex from the excretion of riboflavin–this is normal and it is because they are water- soluble. After indulging in lots of carbs and booze, your metabolism is most likely in a funk. Similar to eating small meals throughout the day, intense exercise will also rev the metabolism, in addition to getting a good sweat on. Here is one of my faves!#7: Sleep your ass off the next night. Sleeping raises growth hormone and aids in fat loss. It also gives your body the opportunity to recover and metabolize all the crap you have been eating and drinking. It is also a potent stress reducer as well, lowering cortisol over time and decreasing stress- hormone induced water retention. No crazy cleanses or designer supplements : ) All natural, baby! ![]() ![]() Lena Dunham Reveals Huge New Tattoos After Latest Health Scare, Saying It Gives Her a Sense of 'Control'. ![]() ![]()
