1. Eat Yogurt Moderately
Even though yogurt can be a healthy option, you might want to cut back on the amount you consume. Avoid eating yogurt later in the day (for instance, as a snack or after dinner). Make sure you choose yogurt without any added sugar. It's easier to digest and will restrict bloating.
2. Squat For 10 Minutes Every Day
Squat with dumbbells. This will engage your ab muscles and help you get toned. Start by holding a weight in each hand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees, keeping your torso upright and your hips back at all times. Straighten, then repeat for 10 minutes.
3. Take Cold Showers
Some research suggests that cold showers may aid with weight loss. The lower temperature will increase your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories. This may make it easier for you to lose weight over time, which will take you one step closer to getting a flat belly.
4. Have A Good Breakfast
Starting your day off right with a healthy breakfast will keep you full longer and your body well nourished. Try to consume nuts, dried fruit, and whole grains. These nutrient-rich foods will keep you satiated, and you'll crave belly-fattening snacks less and less.
5. Cut back on Salt
Eating overly salted foods is detrimental to your stomach. This will cause your body to retain water and your belly to appear bloated. To reduce salt when you cook, try using ingredients like lemon juice instead to enhance the flavor.
6. No More Chewing Gum
Avoid eating sugar-free chewing gum in particular. This type of gum uses sugar alcohols, which causes your body to create gas and your belly to expand. The act of chewing also causes you to swallow excess amounts of air, which also leads to bloating.
7. Banish Granola Bars
Contrary to popular belief, these processed snacks are actually bad for your health. Most are packed with fat and sugar, and can actually make you eat more. Cut them from your diet, and your belly will be thanking you later!
