O que comer para sentir-se mais leve antes da praia

What to eat to feel lighter before going to the beach

Want to feel lighter and more confident at the beach — without crazy diets or excessive restrictions?
The secret is to make small choices that support the body: foods that help reduce bloating, improve digestion, and stimulate natural elimination. No aggressive detoxification needed, just simple and effective routines that truly make a difference.

Discover what to eat (and what to avoid) in the 24 hours before the beach for a flatter stomach, less bloating, and a feeling of total lightness — in body and mind.

1. Foods that help reduce bloating and alleviate abdominal swelling.

Pineapple + mint + ginger

A simple and effective combination: pineapple is rich in bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion and reduces inflammation. Ginger soothes the stomach, and mint refreshes, relieving discomfort such as gas or bloating.

Cucumber, fennel, and romaine lettuce

Vegetables with a high water content hydrate the body without causing fluid retention. Fennel has natural digestive properties, and romaine lettuce helps balance and cleanse the digestive system.

Cold zucchini or cucumber soup (see recipe below)

Light, hydrating, and easy to digest — perfect as the last meal before bed. Add parsley, fresh cilantro, and a few drops of lemon to enhance the anti-bloating effect.

Fruits rich in water

Watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries: they help eliminate fluids, satisfy sweet cravings, and provide antioxidants without adding weight.

Chamomile and ginger infusion

A calming blend for the end of the day. Helps reduce abdominal bloating, improves digestion, and promotes more restful sleep—essential for waking up feeling refreshed.

2. Our allies for total lightness

Detox Drops

Liquid chlorophyll that activates digestion, helps eliminate toxins, and promotes a feeling of lightness from the first glass. Ideal on an empty stomach.

How to use: 4 pipettes in a glass of warm water. Morning ritual.

Super Detox Capsules

A blend of chlorella, spirulina, triphala, and milk thistle. They support the elimination of toxins, improve digestion, and help empty the abdomen.

How to use: 2 capsules at dinner — or as an SOS before an event.

Detox Mix

Functional powder with spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, triphala, baobab and more — ideal for adding to smoothies, functional waters or morning shots. Energizing and regulating effect.

How to use: 1 to 2 teaspoons in green smoothies or juices with pineapple.

3. 24-hour ritual for a flatter stomach and a lighter body before the beach.

Preparing your body for a day at the beach starts with small choices that make a big difference. This ritual combines diet, natural products, and moments of self-care to reduce bloating, stimulate digestion, and help sculpt your figure—all naturally and effectively.

Morning

Warm water with lemon + Detox Drops
It helps activate the digestive system right after waking up. Our liquid chlorophyll supports the elimination of toxins and combats abdominal bloating. Ideal for starting the day feeling light.

Light breakfast with fruit and plant-based protein.
A combination that provides stable energy without feeling heavy. The fruit hydrates and provides fiber, while the plant-based protein (like our Super Feminine) satiates and prevents sugar spikes.

Mid-morning

Chamomile or horsetail infusion
Both are mild diuretics and soothe the digestive system — ideal for keeping bloating under control.

Snack: strawberries with sunflower seeds
Light, antioxidant-rich, and high in water, strawberries help with drainage; the seeds provide healthy fats that boost metabolism.

Lunch

Bowl with quinoa, cucumber, romaine lettuce, avocado, and cilantro.
Foods high in water and fiber hydrate and help eliminate toxins without causing water retention. Avocado provides satiety and cilantro supports the liver.

Digestive infusion after a meal.
It helps relieve any abdominal discomfort and promotes easier digestion.

Afternoon

Shake with pineapple + Detox Mix
Pineapple contains bromelain, which reduces inflammation and improves digestion. With the Detox Blend (rich in spirulina, chlorella, triphala and more), the draining and energizing effect is immediate.

Light walk + dry brush
It activates circulation and helps the lymphatic system eliminate accumulated fluids. Brushing with our body brush or massaging with the Firming Slimming Oil helps tone and prepare the body.

Night

Dinner: zucchini soup + protein + healthy fat

A light yet complete meal. Start with a zucchini soup with parsley and lemon to hydrate and soothe digestion, and complement it with a plant-based protein source (such as grains, grilled tofu, or lentils) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or avocado. This combination nourishes without weighing you down and supports the body in its natural detoxification process overnight.

Zucchini Soup with Parsley and Lemon

Ingredients:
– 2 medium zucchini (with peel)
– 1 leek or 1 small onion
– 1 clove of garlic
– 1 handful of fresh parsley
– 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
– Sea salt to taste
Water (just enough to cover the vegetables)

Preparation:

  1. Sauté the leek (or onion) and garlic in olive oil until softened.

  2. Add the diced zucchini and cover with water.

  3. Let them cook for about 15 minutes, until they are very soft.

  4. Add the parsley and beat until you obtain a silky cream.

  5. Finally, add the lemon juice and adjust the salt.

  6. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil or a seed topping.

Lentil Salad with Avocado and Cilantro

Ingredients:
– 1 cup of cooked lentils (brown or green)
– ½ ripe avocado, diced
– 1 small cucumber, cut into half-moons
– 1 handful of chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of ½ lemon
– 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

  1. Mix the cooked lentils with the cucumber, avocado, and cilantro.

  2. Season with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

  3. Gently fold in and serve chilled or at room temperature.

  4. Optional: Add hemp seeds for extra texture.

Super Detox Capsules before bed
With chlorella, spirulina, triphala, and milk thistle, they work while you sleep to support the liver and accelerate the elimination of toxins. Wake up feeling a flatter stomach and a lighter body.

Extra tip from MPL:

Avoid excessive raw vegetables at night, soft drinks, and inflammatory snacks like sugary bars or refined grains—they cause more bloating than you might think.
