My son is getting married next week. Everything organised. I now have a bloated tummy thickened waist line and spots on my chin great timing!! All just appeared over the last fortnight dress looks stretched on me now.
Any ideas for a quick detox that will work in a week!@

A check up with GP to eliminate digestive problems.

Cut out bread which can cause bloating and get a good all in one piece of underwear, they can be very comfy. Doesn't really take off inches but smooths everything so clothes hang better.

Be scrupulous about taking makeup off at night, use Clearasill or something for spots and remember that you are probably being over critical of yourself and a week can make a big difference.

That's for the short term.

Long term...... What harrigran said.

Good luck and have a fabulous day. You will look great.

Put perfume on the spots, the alcohol in it will dry them out. Toothpaste (plain white) also works.

Pukka Detox tea for the spots and the bloating. (Not that I believe in crash detoxes, it just happens to be the name of the tea). It sorts out digestive upsets.

No carbohydrates for the next week. Tummy will lessen and spots should go. Good luck. I expect you will look good on the day anyway.

This is a quick fix diet only, and you will probably put the weight back on, but it does work for a special occasion. As it includes salad and fruit you shouldn't get bunged up or bloated. When I did it I lost 8lb and my tummy went flat!

shysal that diet looks like the one I did before my wedding (30+ years ago). It worked and I got into my dress!

Enjoy the wedding - lots to look forward to. Everyone will be looking at the bride and I am sure you do not look half as bad as you think you do. smile

Have you thought about one of those body wrap things at a beauty salon. I believe it drains lots of water out of your system and you can look inches thinner for a couple of days. I'm sorry I haven't put it very technically but I do understand they are very good. Oh, and big knickers with lots of strong elastic in
