General Tips
1. Eliminate Soda and Alcohol – Regular soda is loaded with calories and offers no nutritional value. so it’s best to steer clear of it, as well. Alcohol has not only been associated with excess belly fat, but it can also lead to unhealthy food choices. If you want to tighten your waist, you must avoid these things.2.
Drink Plenty of Water – Staying hydrated should be the main priority for anyone, but especially for those that are participating in a fitness routine. Drink a full glass of cool water when you first wake up to get your metabolism cranking. It’s also recommended that you drink another full glass before every meal to keep yourself from overindulging.
As you lose weight, your body will also require more water to flush out extra toxins. Staying hydrated will keep you from retaining water as well, which will reduce any “fluffiness” in your abdomen. A general rule of thumb is to drink at least 64 ounces of water daily, but feel free to drink even more!
3. Eat Clean and Avoid Processed Foods – What do we mean by “clean” food? Clean foods generally refer to whole foods that are as close as possible to their natural state. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean meats are the most commonly consumed clean foods.
These healthy choices are packed full of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that your body needs to lose weight and firm-up. Processed foods should be avoided, as they are typically much more calorie-dense and offer little-to-no nutritional value.
