And those are the foods you want to avoid right before you don your swimsuit. In fact, in a UCLA survey of 50,000 people, 64 percent of women and 50 percent of men said they were self-conscious about their weight. (There&#146;s nothing more embarrassing than doing a cannonball off the diving board and then having to refill the pool because you emptied it.) <p>We&#146;re talking about foods that are calorie-rich, cause bloating and water retention, and can quickly slow you down. The authors of &#147;Eat This, Not That!&#148; identified the six absolute worst foods for the beach or pool, and what you should go for instead for a glorious day in surf and sun. ";

This one should be obvious. With parmesan cheese, fried croutons, salty dressing and anchovies, chicken Caesar salad is one of the most sodium-packed foods out there. (Versions at certain sit-down chains can contain more than 1,900 mg of sodium!) But it&#146;s not just the salt; Caesar ranks right up there with taco salads as one of the most misbegotten &#147;health&#148; foods out there. Some versions at sit-down chain restaurants have more than 1,000 calories, 75 grams of fat and nearly 2,000 milligrams of sodium. Chicken can be a great option, though, because it&#146;s a lean meat with protein that fills you up and helps you fight belly fat. Grilled chicken sandwiches can give you the same full feeling as the Caesar salad, without the huge caloric load and bulging belly. Add a side salad with vinaigrette dressing, and you&#146;ve got a more complete meal with only about 200 extra milligrams of sodium.   ";

It&#146;s not just the calories, but the carbs in the potatoes that can cause bloating and make you feel less secure in a bikini. The mayo-drenched spud festival may be a summertime staple, but it&#146;s capable of doing both short- and long-term damage to your beach bod. The short-term damage comes from the carbs in the potatoes, which produce gas as they&#146;re digested&#151;cue the on-shore breezes&#151;and the high sodium content: a full cup of the stuff can contain well over 500 mg of sodium. And this simple &#147;salad&#148; is one of the most calorie-dense foods on the planet&#151;so you eat now, and pay later, and and later, and later.  <p>Instead, serve yourself some Caprese salad on arugula. A 3/4-cup serving contains just 200 calories and 170 mg of sodium, but it also provides loads of health benefits. The tomatoes are filled with antioxidants, and the olive oil contains monounsaturated fat&#151;the healthy fat that helps lower LDL cholesterol. ";

And they&#146;re great foods for maintaining long-term weight loss. But we offer a single exception: the moment immediately before you don a swimsuit. These veggies contain a complex sugar called raffinose, which is not digested by the body. Instead of feeding you, the raffinose ends up feeding the bacteria in your stomach, which express their gratitude by bloating you. Instead, whip up a fruit salad with strawberries, grapes, bananas, and yogurt. You&#146;ll get antioxidants from the berries, potassium from the bananas, and an immune-system boost from the yogurt (if you use the probiotic kind). And if you spill the fruit all over yourself, presto! Instant Hawaiian shirt!    ";

Instead, try a cup of cold gazpacho, a soup that packs more veggies, FAR LESS SALT, and can actually help cool you down instead of making you sweat more.

I know, it&#146;s like trading your Civic for a Ferarri and discovering it gets better gas mileage. A filet mignon is the leanest type of beef you can get, with 340 calories and just 5 g of saturated fat in a 6-oz serving. And the fat-free sauce adds minimal calories and less than 300 mg of sodium. A hot dog can contain nearly 1,000 mg of sodium, even without condiments, and a bun adds nearly 50 g of carbohydrates. Plus, the filet mignon contains more than three times as much protein as the hot dog. ";
