Fight Bloat
"The secret to being confident in a bikini is doing your "nutritional homework" before you hit the beach. In addition to eating fish the week leading up to a bikini-worthy event for its protein and anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fat qualities, I always eat asparagus. It is a natural diuretic that helps lean you out. Avoid grains and dairy at all costs—both will majorly bloat you."

— Shannon Ford, Mrs. United States
