5 Expert Tips To Avoid a 'Jelly Belly

Slow down when you eat and savor each bite. 

1. Mindful Eating

 Being mindful of your meals helps you connect with your body's hunger and fullness cues, making it less likely to overeat. 

Proper hydration is key to maintaining a flat stomach.

2. Stay Hydrated 

Drinking enough water prevents water retention and bloating, while also aiding digestion. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day, and consider infusing your water with fresh fruits for added flavor.

Watch your portion sizes. Use smaller plates and bowls to help control your food intake, and be mindful of portion recommendations for different food groups. 

3. Portion Control

Avoid the temptation to go back for seconds unless you're genuinely hungry.

Diversify your diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. 

4. Balanced Diet 

 A balanced diet ensures you get the nutrients you need for overall health and weight management. 

Incorporate a mix of both cardio and strength training exercises into your fitness routine. 

5. Regular Exercise 

Cardio helps burn calories, while strength training builds muscle and boosts metabolism.
