Hey, girls! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today, I
wanted to share with you a few tips that will help you flatten your stomach.
1. Only eat when you’re hungry. A lot of people eat because
they’re bored, stressed, or have a food craving. To achieve a flat stomach, you
want to avoid all of these false hunger traps. Listen to your body and watch
for those tell-tale signs like growling or a churning sensation in your stomach.
You’ll know when you’re hungry and when you’re not if you pay attention.
2. Watch the clock. When’s the last time you ate? If you
just ate an hour ago, then don’t eat again for awhile. You should give your
stomach time to digest your last meal. You also want to let your metabolism
rest for a little bit instead of constantly engaging it.
3. Eat until you’re satisfied…don’t stuff yourself! You
should feel good after you’ve eaten. If you eat just enough to satisfy your
hunger, you’ll feel awesome and re-energized. But, if you stuff yourself, you’ll
feel lazy, slow, and downright terrible! No one wants to feel that way, right?
I know I don’t!
4. Eat healthy food! We eat food because we want to feel
good and we need to nourish our bodies. Often, people go for the unhealthy,
junky foods that leave them with a yucky feeling, just to have that taste in
their mouth. It’s okay to indulge in unhealthy foods that you love sometimes, just don’t go crazy with it!
You can always find healthier alternatives to unhealthy foods. For example: I love
chocolate! But, whenever I have a chocolate craving, I eat chocolate chips from
the health food store instead of chocolate that’s full of artificial sugars and
other unhealthy ingredients. And I only eat a small amount at a time.
5. Drinking water before meals will help you to flatten up
your mid section. Studies show that drinking water before meals causes a lower
calorie intake, ultimately leading to weight loss. The water provides you with
a feeling of fullness.
6. If you need to eat out, always try to choose the
healthiest choice. If you’re ordering from a drive thru, go for salad, fruit,
yogurt, oatmeal, smoothie, etc. Try to choose these types of feel good, healthy
foods instead of greasy foods that’ll make you feel heavy and weighed down. Here’s
another scenario: If you’re eating out at a restaurant, look for healthy food choices
on the menu. They’re always there; you just need to look for them. Keep in mind
that every food choice you make adds up to a final result. This result will
either be a muffin top or a flat stomach which will make you feel good. YOU
decide.
7. Keep your sugar intake at a minimum. Sugar is really
fattening and it’s so not good for your body. It’s okay to eat sweet stuff
every now and then, but try not to over indulge! In my family, we only eat a
treat once or twice a week, not every day.
Follow these 7 tips and watch your stomach get flatter!
