So, going on a hot holiday in 10 days....9days of wearing a bikini. Unless some miracle happens I am looking at the good old tom bloat and cramps for 4 of those days (not fun in a bikini). So, looking for any tips from the ladies of helping with the bloat and cramping. Some months I retain 5-7 pounds :(. Thanks in advance!!

    Make sure you are eating enough fiber and eating small meals plus drinking plenty of water. I've actually suffered bad stomach porblems in my life and eating a balanced diet (macro and micro nutrients) and drinking plenty of water makes it seem like I've never had a stomach problem in my life.

    Drink TONS of water and watch your intake of salty & sweet things -- those help you keep all of your water weight during your period. Be really conscious for several days before your period of what you are eating & how much water you are drinking, and you should be able to curb some of those issues.

    Also, squeezing in a workout really does help, too! You'll feel better and the exercise can help waylay cramping.
