Disclaimer: This guide ASSUMES that you aren't overweight or high body fat, just bloated.
Bloating is a really bad thing for your facial aesthetics because it hides your bone structure, without the bone structure providing you with good bone definition, it makes your face look less defined, more rounded and you also can't get those hollow cheeks either.
An example of how bloating descends you. The person here is Tom Cruise.
Hollow cheeks can't occur on a bloated face. Also, notice how the lack of bloat on these guys' face allows their faces to be chiseled.
Potassium
One of the first thing you can do to fix your bloating is to increase your potassium levels. High levels of potassium encourages your body to remove the sodium (one of the biggest culprits of bloating) out of the body. It's a naturally-occuring diuretic (A diuretic is an agent that removed sodium out of the body)
According to this article on www.heart.org, the foods with the highest amounts of potassium are... (the ones in bold are my recommendations)
- Avocados
- Potatoes
- Greens
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Lima beans
- Peas
- Tomatoes, tomato juice and tomato sauce
- Oranges and orange juice
- Cantaloupe and honeydew melon
- Grapefruit and grapefruit juice (talk to your healthcare provider if you’re taking a cholesterol-lowering drug)
- Prunes and prune juice (This stuff is disgusting, and it's a laxative as well)
- Apricots and apricot juice
- Raisins and dates
- Fat-free or low-fat (1 percent) milk
- Fat-free yogurt
- Halibut
- Tuna
- Molasses
- Watermelon (Added this myself)
- Coconut Water (I added this one myself)
You could also take liquid potassium supplements as well. Liquid supplements have a higher bio-availability (meaning more of it reaches your bloodstream), compared to pill-form potassium.
Some links for liquid potassium (once per day, dosages on back of each supplement)
Carbohydrates, Sugar and Sodium (Salt)
Both carbohydrates (especially refined carbohydrates) and excess sugars (especially added sugars) which both turn to glucose, have bloating effects on your body as they spike your blood sugar. One thing that carbohydrates like sugar (glucose) do is that it draws water from your body, or prevents it from being absorbed properly.
Sodium on the other hand literally leeches water like a sponge...
What these three demons do to your body is this...
"WE'RE LOW ON WATER, WE GOT TOO MUCH GLUCOSE AND SODIUM RUNNING IN THE BLOOD LEECHING OUR WATER, QUICK STORE AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE FACE! WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Now you have a bloated face because your body is more freaked about about it's water supply than an African child is about his water supply...
Choose one. The chiseled face or the 24 pack donuts or the sodium-loaded bread you got.
Electrolytes & Water
It is absolutely critical as f**k to consume water, and loads of it everyday. Water flushes the sodium out of the body and lowers your sodium levels. An ample amount of water also chills out the body so it isn't worried about having to retain water and make your face bloated or puffy.
My Recommendation: 3-4 liters of water a day, 2-3 Liters of Electrolyte Drinks.
Bonus: Add electrolytes in your water or drink an electrolyte loaded drink like Prime, Powerade or Gatorade as electrolyes not only LITERALLY taste more hydrating, but it actually hydrates your body better. Meaning it takes less of an electrolyte-loaded drink like Gatorade to hydrate your body compared to regular water.
There are many more kinds of electrolyte powders, not only this one! Look through your local store or look on Amazon for one that you like!
Fasting/Intermittent Fasting
To put it very simply, when you fast (intermittently or over a 24 hour period) your glucose, fat and sodium levels go down, de-bloating your face. Maybe @Amnesia was kind of right when he said if you aren't constantly starving, you aren't good looking.
According to this scientific paper (Weinsier, 1971) it states "Sodium excretion is also enhanced early in fasting, declining progressively to between 1 and 15 mEq/day, losses that persist even through prolonged caloric deprivation. The losses exceed those with salt restriction alone."
And this article, it says the following about glucose "Scientists know that insulin resistance improves with calorie restriction. After a period of fasting, insulin sensitivity increases, and insulin levels decrease. These changes result in improved blood sugar levels both during fasting and shortly after eating."
@enchanted_elixir, I'm a lazy ass bitch and I need a TL;DR
- Minimize sodium and sugar
- Lower your carbohydrate intake
- Drink a lot of water, electrolyte-loaded drinks are even better
- Raise your potassium levels
- Do some intermittent fasting

I deliberately chose high absorption liquid supplements for max bioavailabilty.
