come in expendable amounts when eating out.
These food items include fries, mashed potatoes, rice, bread, pasta, croutons, crackers, and more. Take those same “sides” or entrees and replace them with veggies like broccoli, grilled zucchini, tossed salads, sauteed carrots, and green beans.

Say No To Sweets
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cookie, or two… (okay, okay) maybe four! But when it’s time to slip into a little dress for a night out, you’re going to regret the sweet fest you had the night before.
Difficult-to-digest foods can cause gassiness and bloat like fructose, a natural sugar added to many processed foods.
The thing is, it’s actually difficult for many people to digest it.
To avoid bloating, be aware of these sweeteners in the foods you eat and limit the amount you consume. Take a week (or maybe two) off from eating the Snickers, KitKats, cakes and ice cream, then see how it makes you look and feel!
Walk For 30 Minutes
When all else fails, sweat it out or walk it out. Our bodies are constantly in the flow because what goes in, must come out.
Help your body out by going for a jog to get your blood circulating so it can catch some steam to get your system to start moving to eliminate the toxins and waste it doesn’t need.
