You work out every day and you eat well – most of the time – but you still can’t get your stomach as flat as you’d like. It’s a big problem for most women. That little bit of extra skin on the bottom of your stomach that just won’t go away can make you crazy. Whether it’s the remnant of the kids you gave birth to or just a remnant of how much you enjoyed last Christmas, there are ways you can get rid of your stomach for good.
Soda
Everyone knows soda is terrible for you but before you get on your high horse and brag that you only drink diet soda, stop. Diet soda is actually worse for you than regular soda. In fact, research shows that those who drink diet soda actually take in more calories throughout the day than those who drink the regular stuff. The best idea, however, is to just skip the fizz all together and drink water. It’s much better for you.
Ordering Out
Eating your meals in restaurants is much easier than cooking at home – and much more enjoyable – but it’s bad for your stomach and your waistline. The servings are too large and what you might think is a healthy dining option might actually be unhealthy. There are hidden calories and hidden fat in the foods you order, and the portion sizes are so large that they’re often double (or more) calories than a normal helping you might cook at home.
Lazy Weekends
You spent all weekend watching seasons two and three of your favorite show on Netflix and you feel good on Monday. Well rested, happy, and relaxed; except that you just provided a huge disservice to your body. Being lazy all weekend is not good for anything – especially your stomach and waist. Try to be at least a little active on these days off of work.
