    Drink lots of water.
    ^ This and avoid salt (sodium), no need to get more than 1200-1500mgs/day (MFP limit is set at 2500)

    Two things drink more water & Avoid a lot of salt intake... Salt helps the body retain water, and this can cause water retention and major bloating. Feels gross ick!

    Jillian Michaels recipe for losing 5 pounds in 7 days.

    Get 60 ounces of distilled or pure water.
    Add a tablespoon of sugar free cranberry juice
    Add 1 dandelion root tea bag
    Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

    You drink the 60 ounces everyday for 7 days.

    This recipe works because it helps flush out excess water weight you have carrying around in your body and....You could lose more than 5 pounds in 7 days depending on how much excess water weight you're carrying around.

    **I personally havn't tried it. But want to get rid of the bloating and the water weight I have going on.***

    stop add salt to any your food b/c all food already has its own natural sodium in them...its helpful for me, helped me lose 10 pounds over this alone change.
