See 3 ways to say goodbye to belly fat

Eating 80/20 and hitting the gym have helped you reach your weight-loss goal, but you're still trying to get rid of that little extra pooch around your midsection. Here are three things you can do every week to help you achieve a trimmer belly.

When Eating

Take an honest look at your diet and your bathroom schedule. Your belly might not be caused by fat but by air trapped in your digestive system. If you're not getting enough fibre (you need 25 to 30 grams a day), constipation can cause bloating. On the other hand, overdoing it on fibre or eating too many gas-producing foods like broccoli, apples, or beans can also make your belly pooch a bit. Thankfully, there are also foods you can eat, like blueberries, that are proven to diminish belly fat, so sip on this flat belly smoothie or crunch on this flat-belly salad to keep you regular and help you de bloat.
