\u200bMy pants are TIGHT after enjoying mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, dessert, green bean casserole, and so much more. When you eat more food than normal, with less fiber than normal, and way, way more salt than usual it\u2019s normal to be puffy and bloated.\u00a0 Here are 7 simple ways to beat the bloat:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Water:<\/span> drink 2, 3 or 4 liters of water.\u00a0 Most of the weight gain and puffiness is the water your body retains from the high-salt feast you just enjoyed.\u00a0 Extra water helps your body clear the excess more quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Walk:<\/span>\u00a0movement begets movement.\u00a0 Getting out for a 20, 30, or even 60 min walk will help get the digestive system moving.\u00a0 Plus, you won\u2019t be eating leftover<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0while you\u2019re walking.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Fiber:<\/span> Fiber is essential for a healthy, regular digestive system.\u00a0 Thanksgiving favorites like rolls, mac, and cheese, desserts, etc. don\u2019t have much fiber, so, loading up on fruits veggies and whole grains can help clear things out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Squats & planks:<\/span> go workout.\u00a0 Strength training is important to restoring your metabolic health (very important for water retention), and intra-abdominal pressure will help stimulate elimination.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Coffee:<\/span> as long as you\u2019re adding little to no extra calories coffee is part of a healthy lifestyle.\u00a0 It gives you extra pep for your workouts and is a natural, mild laxative.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Let it go:<\/span> beating yourself up for enjoying Thanksgiving usually just leads to guilt and shame, which usually just leads to eating extra calories to soothe your feelings.\u00a0 It\u2019s OK to enjoy your Thanksgiving.\u00a0 It was fun.\u00a0 Instead of guilt or remorse try focusing on anything on the list above.<\/span>\u00a0 There are no “bad” foods.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Be realistic<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0 If you\u2019re diligent it’s going to take a few days to get back to normal.\u00a0 And if you don\u2019t do much to balanc<\/span>e things out then it might take<\/span>\u00a0a week.\u00a0 Wishing things were moving faster doesn\u2019t make them move faster.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
