Bikini Food: 3 Snacks To Help Keep You Looking Good In Summer

Posted on June 12, 2009 by admin

1. High Calcium Snacks Like Yogurt & Cheese (for anti-Bloating)

According to the American Dietetic Association, consuming high-calcium foods can quickly help deflate PMS puffiness and bloating from too much salt in  your food- which comes in handy when you’re about to hit the beach in your new two-piece swimsuit.

To achieve a recommended daily allowance try combos of 1 cup lowfat milk (290 mg calcium), 8 ounces lowfat plain yogurt (415 mg calcium) and 2 1/2 oz lowfat cheddar (295 mg calcium).

2. Nuts, Nuts, Nuts: Almonds & Walnuts (for fat-fighting)

Even though, ounce for ounce, almonds often have more calories and fat than other snacks, research shows that dieters can still find it easier to lose weight and trim more inches when they replace  less healthful foods with almonds.

3. Watermelons & Cantaloups (for feeling full)

Melons of all types are more than 90% water so eating these can help you calm cravings without packing on pounds during the summer bikini months.
