Drink a Smoothie: Drinking a smoothie will allow you to get necessary micro nutrients without as much tax on digestive system as it is broken down more compared to eating whole foods. If you are someone who suffers from bloating – assess how you feel after eating whole foods vs a smoothie.

Keep it simple: spinach, berries, water, nut milk

Eat until 80 % full: you have probably heard this before but eating until full, really full. Like you just ate out somewhere and as your getting out of the booth, you are breathing out and thinking wow, my pants feel tighter – we have all been there.

Tips to avoid getting too full: split a meal when going out, avoid getting appetizers if getting a meal, just get an appetizer rather than a meal, use smaller plates at home. This is big – don’t tax your GI system to the max

Work on Bowel motility: Walking after lunch, even 10-15 minutes will help with general motility and digestion. Drink more water. Identify your nutrient/mineral deficiencies and supplement accordingly. Eat more fiber rich foods – add some ground flax to your smoothie or yogurt.
