Nutritionist, personal trainer, fitness chef, and wellness expert Ashley Walter emphasized the importance of not skipping meals, because this is one of the quickest ways to wind up waking up bloated. "Always eat three well-portioned and balanced meals without skipping, and without eating to eat and packing it all in at one meal," Walter advised. "So many clients skip breakfast, [and] binge at lunch or late afternoon, then regret it and either skip dinner or do another binge."
Instead, Walter recommends starting with a light breakfast, making a fibre-and protein-filled feast for lunch, and sticking to paleo foods rather than carbs in the evening.
