    Drink lots of water. Well hydrated skin is beautiful and healthy.

    Reduce alcohol, pasta, Pizza, fast food. All of that increases bloating and might cause acne. Some people have pimples from chocolates too so stay away if it's your case.

    Lots of fish, sea food, veggies, salads, spinach. Beets are my favorites for digestion needs. Natural yogurt too if you're ok with dairy.

    I'm going to Côte D'Azur in a week so im following this plan now.

    I've noticed that carbs & sodium affect me worse after I was otherwise restricting them. If your vacation food choices are anything like mine, limiting potential bloating foods before I went would mean blowing up like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Float on vacation. Like if I'm eating quite a bit of sodium on a regular basis, having a big sodium bomb of a meal doesn't seem to affect me. But when I was trying to keep my sodium under 1500, I'd gain 8 pounds overnight from shrimp alfredo.

    Or in other words, don't fix what isn't broken. ;)

    Nothing on the EARTH bloats me like broccoli so I wouldn't recommend eating it.

    Baby seal tears and chalk.

    Seriously, enjoy your holiday.

    Duh, baby seal tears are high in sodium. Do you WANT her to bloat??

    The minerals in the chalk cancel out the sodium and prevent any bloating, but only if the chalk is organic and if it's consumed with ACV. It's scientifically proven.

    For me if it's vanity and I just want a flatter stomach (my trouble area) I drop carbs down for a bit.
