3. Asparagus and Green Beans contain high amounts of potassium and act as a diuretic, draining water off your mid-section. Use these vegetables daily starting 4 days prior to the event.

4. Drink Dandelion tea between your meals. This is a natural diuretic and one of the best ones available. that increases urine flow by enhancing the removal of salts and water from the kidney. Brew up a big pot, add sweetener to taste and drink away!

5. Morning Cardio is crucial to get your metabolic rate going and body in fat-burn mode. Go for a brisk walk, walk/run or interval blast depending on your fitness level. Some ab work is a great addition as well. Get your sweat on for atleast 30 minutes every day!

6. Hydrate with 3L of water and/or Tea every day. Yes, you will be a peeing machine. This is exactly what you want. On Saturday start to taper your water and continue this into the next day. Sunday just sip from 6pm onwards to keep your body from retaining water for the next morning.

A small portion of oats, berries, eggs and almonds is perfect. Sip on water until you get to the road and then keep hydrated and cool in the hot sun.
