You can slim down and have fun in the process
1. Eat at the Magic Hour: 3-4 pm
Go for a protein bar, yogurt, a piece of cheese or some almonds with an apple daily. Don’t miss this snack. It boosts metabolism and balances blood sugar. click here
2. Eat portion-controlled whole-grain meals and monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s). Those who eat grains lose more abdominal fat. MUFA’s are proven to reduce muffin tops and love handles.
Breakfast: a slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and 1 cup of your favorite berries.

3. Chew on This
Chewing is the number one tip to prevent bloating. Chew food until it is like baby food in your mouth. Digestion begins in the mouth. Better digestion means less gas and bloating. Limit caffeine or drink half-cafe in the afternoon (another culprit).
4. Laugh it Up!
Every time you laugh it strengthens your abs. Bust a gut and your are absolutely toning abs. Rather than taking laughing yoga, why not try one of my gut-busting pilates classes : )
5. DIET takes first Priority
Diet comes first, than cardio: 20-30 minutes 3 times a week. Spend 15 minutes a day 3 times a week doing strength training, and spend at least 5 minutes a day, 3 times a week doing ab exercises.
6. Shake on Sea Salt
The salt in your diet maybe causing bloating. Use natural sea salt or kosher salt, which is lower in sodium. Stay away from soy sauce. Even the low-sodium type causes instant bloat. Instead flavor food with salsa or a hint of cayenne pepper, which has the added bonus of revving up your metabolism.
7. Add Boxing to lose inches Fast
Add 16 minutes of boxing 3 times per week to your regular cardio routine (30 minutess at thigh intensity 4-5 times per week. Throw punches for 8 minutes while holding 1-2 # dumbells. Next pick up the pace and do 8 more minutes without weights, alternating arms throughout.
8. Flat Belly Cheat
If it’s your legs wear skirts or slim pants. Bare shoulders with a boat neck or sweet heart neckline. Too much cleavage, does your bra do the job? If it accentuates bra flab get a new one.
