5 Tips To Feel Less Bloated Right Now
By EVOLUTION_18 Founder Bobbi Brown
Let’s be real — it’s not a perfect world, and we don’t all have perfect bodies.
Sometimes I find myself in the back of my closet (in the section where I keep my clothes that are one size up from my normal size) trying to find something to wear, to find something to hide a bloated stomach.
It can happen after a vacation or during the holiday season when it’s extra easy to overdo it. Champagne, sugar, salt and more can leave you feeling bloated and sluggish.
For me, it even happens when I’m eating as clean as possible — I feel like I end up bloated at times for no apparent reason.
In this article, I want to share 5 tips you can use to feel less bloated right now.
These tips will help you after a big meal, an upset stomach, or just to fit into your little black dress or pants.
Tip 001: Drink Plenty Of Water
I carry a big water bottle with me and make sure I drink 2 full bottles a day. If I’m dehydrated, I always feel bloated.
You need to flush all of the sweets and bad stuff out to start feeling better. My favorite hack is to prepare a hot water thermos with herbal tea. I mix peppermint and dandelion and try to drink eight glasses a day to get the job done.
Peppermint aids digestion, and dandelion flushes out your liver. You can put a little ice in your hot tea to drink it more quickly. Do not use sweeteners. I even created a product, Debloat in my new line EVOLUTION_18 to help with this specifically.

Tip 002: Limit salt.
A little salt is great, but too much salt is a recipe for disaster for me. If I do have a saltier meal than normal, I make sure to drink a little extra water.
I do my best to eat as many meals as possible at home. And when I do eat out, I order as simple as possible. I'll even ask for them to hold the salt.
I love fries, but know that I need to drink extra water or Debloat Tea when I overdo it.

Tip 003: Limit The Sweets
I’m someone who loves chocolate and other sweets, but I know that when I over-indugle, I pay for it.
And one way I pay for it is with feeling a little extra bloated. So a little bit of sweets is fine, but if you have an event you don’t want to feel bloated for, or just want to feel your best, I recommend limiting the sweets.
I try my best to replace sweets with a good healthy alternative.
For example, instead of Chocolate Cake, I'll have a small bite of Dark Chocolate.
I'll often mix up some Energizing Chocolate with some hot water, Beauty Collagen Powder, and it takes away my sweet tooth, gives me some protein to fill me up, and stops me from eating something that will make me bloated.

Tip 004: Eat Your Veggies
The more vegetables I eat throughout the day, the better I feel.
Not only do veggies have plenty of antioxidants and minerals to help your skin, but they also carry a lot of water. I know when I eat more veggies, I always feel more hydrated and less bloated. Plus, the fiber in veggies fills me up so I actually won’t crave the sweets as much.
My stomach doesn't respond well to raw veggies, so I have to cook mine. I either make them roasted, grilled, or steamed.
All you need is a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and maybe a little lemon. Simple is better.

Tip 005: My Secret Weapon
Now tip number 5, I saved the best for last. This one is my favorite, I take it every day, after traveling or a large dinner. It’s my number one favorite way to reduce my bloat, it’s all natural, and people are loving it. It’s actually a product I created called Beauty Debloat Tea, and it works.
Unlike some other teas on the market that are diuretics and contain caffeine and unnatural ingredients, this is all natural.
It has apple cider vinegar to support digestion and manage blood sugar.
It also has a Super Antioxidant Blend of Grean Tea, Matcha, and Ashwaganda to protect cells, and what we call a water balance blend of Dandelion, Hydrangea, and Juniper Berry that works to flush the body of excess water.
It’s truly my secret weapon. It’s a product I created for myself, I now sell it through my line Evolution18, and it’s actually one of our most popular products.

What They're Saying About EVOLUTION_18
"On my second bag and 3 people have already told me that my face looked so ‘fresh.’ I have noticed that my face has more elasticity and is more plump" - Patricia
"Best debloat product on the market
A friend of mine recommended this and I’m so glad I listened. This product definitely helps with bloat and water retention. I like to take it right around my period or the day after a big meal. Doesn’t make you gassy like some of the other debloat products." -Tricia
'I have tried plenty of shakes before and they always had a weird after taster or were chalky something was just off. This one is amazing! I've had it hot and cold and I love it either way it's a sweet treat to curb going to the candy drawer at the office, and curbing my appetite before dinner! Definitely worth trying!" - Amanda
