3. Drink lots of water
[adace-ad id=”832″]
Fizzy soft drinks and sparkling mineral waters can cause your tummy to puff out, due to those bubbles of carbon dioxide.
Soft drinks have little nutritional value so try to wean yourself off them and opt for water or green tea as your main drink choices.
What’s more, your body may be thirsty, not hungry and you’re mistaking the ‘water pangs’ for ‘hunger pangs’. This will also help to keep the bloating down and boost your metabolism.
4. Get enough sleep
If you are struggling to lose weight, especially around your waist, it might be time to look at your sleep patterns.
If you’re sleep-deprived, we know you’re potentially more emotionally fragile, so you’re more likely to make impulsive food and drink choices.
Many studies have found that insufficient sleep (be it poor sleep quality or short sleep duration) is related to significantly worse long-term health outcomes, including higher incidence and prevalence of diabetes, increased prevalence of obesity and cardiovascular disease, and poorer mental health outcomes.
5. Keep stress levels down
Stress can also often lead to weight gain and women tend to store more fat around their tummies when they are feeling stressed.
One of the causes of obesity today is the lack of home-cooked freshly prepared meals. People believe they are too stressed to cook and do not have enough time. They opt for takeaway meals which are convenient for time but not convenient for your waistline or your hip pocket.
