Shrink Your Belly Fat With These Habits

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.
