Blast your belly fat with these expert tips!

Whip your tummy into shape

Losing belly fat isn't all about sit-ups. In fact, a lot of it has to do with your everyday food habits and what you eat.

Chew your food properly

According to Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, author of The Flexitarian Diet, chewing your food well is the number one tip to preventing bloating.

Ditch the table salt

Susan Irby, author of The Bikini Chef, says salt could be a big culprit in making your tummy bloat. Use none at all, or choose kosher or natural sea salt, as they are lower in sodium than traditional table salts.

Eat whole-grain foods

Keri Glassman, RD, author of The O2 Diet and The Snack Factor Diet, says, “People who eat whole-grains lose more abdominal fat.” Don't forget to portion control your meals which include whole-grain foods.
