As we get closer to summer, we start to think about the way we look in shorts, dresses, swimsuits, tank tops and just about everything we wear that shows skin! I came across these tips from Eat This, Not That! and thought it’s worth sharing with you – Maryann Morgan

Shrink Your Belly Fat With These Habits:

• 1.

  They recommend eating high-quality carbs like beans, quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, and sweet potatoes in place of things like bagels, pizza, and sugar-filled snacks.

• 2.

  Snack Smarter. Fill your hands with raw almonds, veggie, and hummus instead of chips and cookies.

• 3.

  Drink two or more glasses of water BEFORE EVERY MEAL. Drinking the water will make you feel full faster and help with the temptations of overeating.

• 4.

  Eat your vegetable first and don’t ignore them. They are filled with protein and fiber and will help you to feel full.

• 5.

  Satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit. The sugar in the fruit will satisfy the craving and keep it healthy.

• 6.

  Eat every three to four hours and consume most of your calories before 8 p.m.

• 7.

  Don’t forget to reward yourself, but don’t use food as your reward.
