"   There are people who are willing to do anything to shed a few pounds before bikini season\u2014crazy cleanses, two-a-days at the gym, snack deprivation. Then there are those of us who want to enjoy food (and life) but still look good in a bathing suit. And if you fall into the second category, you&amp;#039;ll be psyched to hear that researchers just identified a food that helps to reduce the amount of fat absorbed by your body. What&amp;#039;s the magic snack? Seaweed. According to researchers, it contains a fiber that stops you from packing on pudge, caused by fat and calories from other foods. Nutritionists agree that this sushi restaurant staple is fat-blasting, but warn that it&amp;#039;s often served loaded up with salt, which can make you retain water and look puffy. Avoid getting bloated by buying totally naked seaweed from the grocery store (sold in the frozen foods aisle) or asking your server to make sure your dish has no salt added. And check out these other super easy ways to get rid of a few extra lbs. Do you change your eating or workout habits this time of year to get ready for beach weather?
