    Help!! Need Emergency Belly Tone Help!!!

    I've been hitting the Tecate and french fries pretty hard. My weight and body are still looking mighty fine, but my belly doesn't have the lean tone that I like.

    I'm going to try to get hired at a new club tomorrow and am looking for suggestions on how to maximize water/belly fat loss in < 24 hours.

    Here is what I'm doing so far:

    1. Yoga in the morning.

    2. Rubbing coffee grounds into tummy and ass to "firm" up skin.

    3. I'm thinking of taking a Diurex pill. My bodybuilder friend suggested them to me a while back to help get rid of bloating. I tried it and had the nastiest metallic taste in my mouth for days, but if it works....does it actually work? I couldn't recall a difference.

    4. Do some crunches before I go up to the club.

    Will any of the above have worthwhile immediate effects? Should I even bother? Obviously, the yoga has many benefits, but is there any point in doing the coffee and diuretic?

    Basically, I need to get rid of some water retention from the end of my monthly visitor. I"m not particularly worried about getting hired, its just a confidence booster.

    Many thanks!!!

    No diuretics. Yikes.

    I always have pudgy tummy, but it "squares out" when I: eat a lot of fiber and drink plain water, nix the diet soda, and do obnoxious amounts of crunches....like to where your lower back will hurt.
    Do those silly twisting arm swings (like you're a human water sprinkler) to tone up your sides too.

    Hmmmmm...how about a jump in the swimming pool? Its freezing here now!

    The diuretic is just Diurex, its over the counter and nothing freaky or illegal. I know it will help lose water weight, but does it work quickly enough?

    Okay, nobody flame me here for suggesting this remedy that I have used from time to time. Anyway, when I get the stomach bloat, I will take 2 Correctals (laxatives for women) and drink a shit ton of water. Eat lots of high fiber & vitamin potency foods like spinach, broccoli. I only do this ONE time like 24 hours before my deadline. You will spend a lot of time on the potty but your tummy will be flatter within 24 hours. Just remember to drink lots of water or you will get crampy. Oh, and don't rely on laxatives to lose weight. That's not the point here, just to rid your body of build up waste matter in your tummy.

    You can do the dehydrated thing, but that will cause you to get even more bloat initially when you start taking in fluids again. When dehydrated - your body clings on to moisture for dear life, just as it does with calories when you eat too little.

    If you need to beat some water bloat, your better bet is to drink as much water as you possibly can stand, all day long... like so much water that you have to hit the loo once every hour. This will flush a lot of crap out of your system, keep you from getting dehydrated and suffering the related increase in bloat, and will - though it seems counter-intuitive - help bust down any water bloat. And steer clear of the salt until after you've done your thing.

    If you inist on going with dehydration for extremely short-term gains, caffeine's your best bet - lots of coffee or diet soda in a single day. Just remember it will wreak all kinds of other havoc on your body.

    Stay away from anything salty.

    Try the Bicylcle move for crunches. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...lr%3D%26sa%3DN
    Do alot of them and youll probably tire out but your tummy will be super firm feeling.
    Usually 12-20 per set is good. Do them slowly too it helps.

    I would have said high colonic, but you probably won't have time now.

    The suggestions here are good. When I want to drop a quick ~5 to go shirtless, I eat nothing but a cup of Fiber One with one of those non-fat dannon fruit smoothies (instead of milk). I suppose a salad of just leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, etc.) would be good as well, don't use a dressing, maybe some bsalmic vinegar and a touch of pepper.

    I don't know anything about specifically trying to lose monthly water weight. I'm not that big of a chick, but I did stay in a holiday inn express once.

    use the water pills. They help a bit.

    Laxatives are a good idea, but not a fun idea...lol

    I would just do a bunch of crunches too, they always make me feel better.

    good luck.

    Honestly, I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!! (lol)

    I'm very thin too, but if I eat a lot for a couple days, then my tummy gets all pouched out.

    Okay, stop eating til after you audition!! Bring a power bar, you can eat if after you get hired. I know it's probably not healthy, but if I get really bloated, I fast for a day, and the bloat goes away.

    Also, drink alcohol... like vodka...shots...do this about an hour before the audition (you don't have to get drunk, just do two or three shots) and then don't drink any more water or whatever. the alcohol will dehydrate you and make your tummy appear thinner.

    Stand up straight and suck in!

    These aren't "healthy" tips, but they do work.

    Hmmmm...alcohol always seems to make it worse. Well, I just rubbed some self tanner on, and am going to hit the road soon. Its not like this club does auditions anyway, so if they don't take me, it won't be because of tummy. Its looking pretty good, crunches laters.

    Thanks!

    I was going to say just for temporary stuff. Rub your self tanner in the shape of what your abs are suppose to look like. Make fuax abs with it. Ive heard it b/c ppl in magazines do it to look thinner.

    A similar, but temporary "quick fix" is Sally Hanson's Airbrush in a little darker color than your skin tone, to visually shape a firmer tummy. Stays put pretty well too, and is transfer resistant.

    I'm sure it's too late for you, sorry, but a die-hard trick is to load up on water 36 hours out (1-2gallons), cut the water and stop eating 12 hours out, and then before you leave, take Preparation H (yes, the hemmorhoid stuff), smear it all over your stomach, wrap your stomach in plastic wrap, and take a half hour nap. Wake up, wipe off the Prep. H with a washcloth, and you're on your way! It's an old school model trick, but works AMAZING!
