How I'd reduce bloat immediately
|
Hello Fabulous Friends! Let's dive right in to this 1 minute read. What I’d do if I want to decrease bloat immediately...I would minimize intake of ultra-processed foods. Ultra-processed foods are foods that have been modified far away from their original form—stripped of nutrients and bulked up with additives, sweeteners, and refined carbs. They light up cravings but leave your body stressed, inflamed, and bloated. Why:
How: Step 1: Validate your cravings. These foods are designed to hook you—it’s not just in your head. Step 2: Adopt food neutrality. Labeling food “good” or “bad” backfires. It piles on guilt, eats up mental bandwidth, and makes the cravings louder. “Pringles aren’t the devil—they’re just nutrient-poor and additive-rich.” Step 3: Don’t deprive yourself. When you restrict a food, your brain treats it like scarce treasure—the desire for it increases. Instead, fill up on lean, high-quality proteins (chicken, fish, tofu) and fiber-rich foods (oats, nuts, seeds, berries, greens). Step 4: Stock your environment with healthy snacks. Keep popcorn, sparkling water, fruit, hummus, and beef jerky within reach. Make the “grab-and-go” choice the one that leaves you feeling lighter, not bloated. Step 5: Check out this protein + fiber banana bread recipe in my free AAF community that scratches the baked good itch and doesn’t leave you with bloat and cravings Cheers to thriving together, Alyssa PharmD, CSCS, Precision Nutrition-L1, GGS Women's Coaching Specialist |

Misconceptions to fix so you stop thinking about health, bloat and body image all day and start having more joy: Most women think: “I just need recipes and a meal plan.” Yes—recipes help. But they only fulfill part of the journey. We’ve ALL lost fat before. But we couldn’t keep it off because the program didn’t teach us convenience or consistency. If something isn’t convenient, we burn out.If we can’t stay consistent, we move backward.Not a “willpower” issue—more of a systems issue. Without a...

Hi Fabulous Friends! Toned and defined is the look most women are after. I chased it too and kept hitting a wall. Here’s why my muscle definition stalled and the shifts that finally changed everything. Problem 1Pushing harder instead of progressing smarterI kept adding more intensity and more sessions because I was frustrated with slow results.
