So I'm going on VK in a few days and want to get rid of my, "pooch". Sometimes I have a flat tummy, but sometimes it sticks out a little. What are some things I can do (not do) in the next few days to make it flat?

Things I can think of:
Limit sodium
Lot's of water (5 16 oz bottles a day)
?

    I find potatoes always make me look about 5 months pregnant, so would avoid these for a flat tummy.

    Don't overly stuff your self so your not bloated I always drink this certain green tea when I want to feel skinny it makes you use the bath room sorta like a laxative I guess you can say.

    Do you know when you get bloat and when you do not? if so, avoid doing the former and try to do the latter.

    lots of water, limited sodium, and green tea helps me! i also try to add some extra raw veggies because that helps to have a good poop (haha sorry for being TMI) without diarrhea that taking a laxative could cause!

    other than that, dont worry about it :) i know what you mean about wanting to reduce the pooch, but sometimes your body just retains that water!


    haha have fun! :)

    clearly you've never had the pleasure of being bulimic. laxatives makes you sooo bloated, you wouldn't believe. and super dehydrated..

    try a couple days with eating lots of fruit/veggies - natural fiber ftw!
    and stay away from processed stuff.

    Avoid carbs, stick to light regular meals, lots of water and apples which act as a natural diuretic to help with fluid retention. :)

    Go to amazon.com. Order spanx. Select 2 day shipping.

    DONE

    Just kidding....kinda. I limit carbs, and up my water a couple days before a big event.

    Pretty sure it's easier to learn to love yourself in 3-4 days than to lose any weight in that time frame.
