Egg whites:Eating egg whites are helpful in reducing bloating. This is because the high protein content found in them acts as a diuretic.

Curd:Like eggs, curd or yoghurt is packed with proteins, eases digestion and improves one’s waistline. This does not include flavoured curd. If you’d like a bit of sweet, substitute it with a drizzle of honey.
