Loose The Pooch - How To Look And Feel Great This Autumn

So most of us have something about our bodies that we would like to change. In a perfect world, we would be accepted and accept ourselves for just who we are. But there is still quite a bit of pressure on women to look good, as well as be funny, intelligent and generally charming. Apart from that, having a healthy body weight is vital to feeling well and staying healthy. 

So how can we do this?

Fiber

One of the best tricks for weight loss is to eat a fibrous diet. Fiber is healthy for three reasons. The first is that it fills you up, so you are unlikely to snack on those naughty things like candy and chips. The second is that your body has to work hard to digest it, which raises your metabolic rate. The last reason is that it is also excellent at ensuring effective elimination of waste products. It is also essential to keeping your gut healthy.

If you are looking to include more fiber into your diet, try a whole wheat cereal, seeded bread or some high fiber pasta.

Muscle Tone

Another important trick, when ditching the pooch is to make sure that you have good stomach muscle tone. If your muscles in the stomach area are weak, then it's more likely that your belly will stick out. It will affect your posture as well, making you look larger. You can improve muscle tone by doing crunches. Or, taking up a hobby like yoga or pilates which work on strengthening and lengthening the muscle in all parts of your body.

A Little Extra Help

If you are desperate for some fast results, there is nothing wrong with employing a bit of extra help in getting rid of your belly. One way of doing this is to wear a body shaper or waist trainer. These are corset that are designed to give you an instant smaller waste by exerting a compressive pressure around your middle.

However, for some people the might not be suitable, or just wouldn't work. For example, if you want to look better in a bikini. In those cases then you could try a something like nonsurgical procedure like liposuction. Not sure if this procedure is right for you? Well, find out at CLDerm.com/non-surgical-lipo/.

No Fat No Carbs

​It isn't recommended that you eliminate entire food groups from your diet on a permanent basis. But cutting down your fat and carb consumption before a holiday or special occasion can help you attain the flat stomach look you're after

Keep your energy up with healthy fats like nuts and seeds and stuck up on miso broth which has a cleaning effect on the body.

Eat Regular and Often

​Another little tip that can help you achieve a flat tum is to not eat massive meals. In fact, it's better to eat small meals more often throughout the day. Not only does this keep your fuel and feeling great, but it also limits how bloated your stomach will get.
