Could I lose anything before my holiday next week?

Going away next Friday, but just feeling wobbly and bloated at the minute.
I'm something like 61.5kg and I'm 169cm so I'm in no way overweight, but I've got a bloated belly and just feeling it all over.
Every time I have my period, I am bloated for an entire week, even after the bleeding stops, which is very frustrating.
Anyway I'd like to feel confident in a swimsuit next week and looking to lose 1kg (the water retention really) if possible.
I go to the gym/sauna 3 times per week and I'll be doing parkrun this Saturday too.
For breakfast I eat porridge with oat milk and honey. Probiotic drink and portion of berries.
Mid morning piece of cheese and piece of salami.
Lunch wholemeal sandwich and a packet of 'baked' crisps.
Afternoon protein bar.
Dinner usually meat with salad.
Snack on cashew nuts.
Also have a couple of biscuits like bourbons every day which I know isn't good, but I think that everything else is healthy.
I do get hungry often so have 3 small snacks per day. I don't drink any alcohol, tea or coffee.
I drink one portion of fruit juice per day then mainly water.
Would be interested to hear any feedback and advice, I don't think I deserve to feel bloated like this. I don't drink dairy anymore, I don't think it's wholemeal bread but I may be wrong.

Cut out caffeine and drink loads of water, 2 to 3 ltrs.

Enjoy your holiday!

The op literally said they do this already 🤦‍♀️🤣

Have you tried taking anything such as fibogel? You may need to get your bowels moving more regularly and better so your body doesn't hold the water for this purpose.

I'd also try making fruit smoothies using frozen fruit as this is another great way of getting your body moving and getting extra fluids.

This has always worked for me as I find I need closer to 3-4 litres of fluid a day.

Eat more wholegrain carbs. Anyway the thread is being zapped.

Do the gm diet
It works
Only as a quick holiday fix kinda thing. Nothing that lasts. But itll help for sure.

Sure hope you feel better before your trip next week.

Aria999 · 05/07/2022 02:12

Try cutting out bread.

Eat lightly and walong, drink water, could possibly lose a couple pounds. And if this is you, (sure having fun with that!) could lose something else.

Celery juice. First thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
