Summer is here and the beach is calling, but is your stomach spoiling all the fun? Here are some simple ways to beat the bulge…

1 Don’t live on bread alone
Eating wheat-based products is almost certain to cause bloating. Wheat is full of fiber, which is a bulking agent, good for helping you feel full, but not great if you’re hoping to look sexy in a bikini. Limiting foods like bread and pasta (unless you do a lot of cardio) can help get rid of that bloated feeling and shrink your waistline in the process. Try replacing heavy bread with tortilla wraps or put your sandwich filling on a plate, add some lettuce and call it a salad.

2 Start doing Pilates
Pilates is hands down one of the best ways to flatten your stomach because it works on strengthening your “core,” which is another word for the transversus abdominis muscle. This muscle binds around your stomach and back acting like a corset, pulling your stomach in. By working this area with Pilates, not only will you notice increased stability, but this band of muscles will contract your gut better than any pair of Spanx.

3 Realize
If you want to be skinny then consuming more energy than you burn isn’t going to help, so managing your weight is key when it comes to the spare tire factor. But losing weight isn’t easy for everyone. If you need to lose more than 10 pounds, joining a weight management group like Weight Watchers (we love your new online service, it’s so easy) or joining a friend to set some goals together can be a great incentive and motivation. It’s not easy, but it can be done, so stay positive.

4 meditate
Hmm, how is sitting still for an hour going to slim down your belly? Well, by getting in touch with your inner Self, miracles really can happen, and by feeling happier in general, the likelihood of overeating goes down (not down, unfortunately!). So while it may take years for your pants to feel looser, we highly recommend meditation.

5 The Crackle
Eating raw vegetables as a snack is a brilliant way to lose some extra weight. If you’re used to grabbing the cookies around 10am, try cutting some raw carrot into sticks and eating that instead. Sure, it might not sound as appetizing as a handful of Oreos, but if you can get into the habit of replacing just one of your daily snacks with raw vegetables, you’ll be on your way to a smaller stomach in no time.

6 One, two, three
Legs, buttocks, and buttocks are problem areas for most women, and to be honest, it’s hard to trim one area in isolation. The benefit of the trifactor is that if you want to lose weight around your waist, you will likely lose weight in other areas as well. The best way to get fit and start feeling better is to walk at least 10,000 steps a day. That turns into 8 kilometers or 5 miles, which sounds like a lot, but breaking it down into 2km sets and starting with that (daily) until you can go the distance will make a day at the beach feel like a Walk through the park .

7 Lose The Alcohol
This one includes simple science: Alcohol causes the body to retain water in the cells, while at the same time shutting down the antidiuretic hormone that makes you want to urinate frequently. So while you’re storing water in your cells, you’re simultaneously expelling nutrient-packed urine, leaving you full of toxins and bloating not only your stomach, but your eyelids and face as well. Which is not so good.

8 Sit back and listen
You were probably wondering when we would get to do 1,000 sit-ups a day. But really, sit-ups alone won’t do much for your core without following a healthy eating plan and including regular cardio. But we’re not talking about abs. It’s about eating when you’re already full. Aside from leaving you wracked with guilt and feeling horrible about having that second helping, or eating that dessert when you’d already demolished a roast dinner plus main course; The negative effect of eating beyond your capacity will eventually expand your stomach and intestines and can lead to numerous health problems. So before you give in again, sit back and listen to the inner voice that wants a flat stomach.

9 Let’s spin again
Dancing is a fantastic all-round way to get in shape so definitely put it on your list, but the actual movement of turning from side to side i.e. going from looking right to looking left while keeping your hips static , is a great way. to tone and trim the waist area. It’s fun and burns fat at the same time!

10A royal flush
A distended intestine is often caused by parasites in the intestine. Colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation is a natural means of cleansing the colon. As long as you visit a qualified and experienced doctor, this can be a rewarding way to improve your intestinal health and reduce the size of your intestine. By eliminating parasites and supporting your body’s own natural peristalsis (the movement necessary to help you expel waste), colon therapy can also make you feel lighter, happier and healthier. Just don’t try it at home.
