Gorga revealed her secrets for getting into a bikini to Us Weekly. She says that before a swimsuit day, she’ll cut certain foods out of her diet. “I won’t eat, like, salty food the day before, ‘cause I do retain water,” she says. “I pay attention if I’m going to eat anything really salty, or Chinese food, or anything that’s going to give me a lot of salt. I would tend to stick away from [it] if I know I’ve got to put a bikini on the next day.”
5. She Stays Hydrate

It’s one of the truest things for your skin and for the flush out your body.” She says that this helps her when bathing suit season comes around.
