A slim waist is a sign of physical beauty and good health. There are many misconceptions on how to get a slim waist. If you have trouble slimming your waist, you may not be the only one. It is a combination of diet and exercise. It can be hard to juggle the correct diet and exercise routine. It does not have to be hard if you follow these simple guidelines.
Do:
1. Exercise
Try to get 20 minutes of cardio each day. Cardio can range from swimming, walking, dancing, running, and anything else that falls under aerobic exercise.
2. Eat vegetables
Vegetables are high in fiber. Fiber aids in digestion which will make your midsection appear slimmer. Broccoli, spinach, green beans, and asparagus are excellent choices for a slimmer waist.
3. Drink protein
Protein shakes are a great source of concentrated protein. Try to get a protein formula that has 20 to 40 grams of protein per serving. Protein is a great way to combat belly fat. Drink a protein shake right after your workout.
Don’t:
1. Drink alcohol
Alcohol causes inflammation within your body. Excess alcohol consumption can lead to a bloated and bulge-like midsection. Avoid drinking fruity and sugary mixed drinks. Lower your consumption to 1 to 2 drinks a week.
2. Eat before bed
Eating before bedtime can lead to weight gain, particularly in the midsection. Your body isn’t active while you sleep, so those excess calories are less likely to be burned and are stored as fat.
3. Eat process food
Processed food and junk food has none to zero nutritional value. It isn’t that bad to indulge yourself from time to time, but if junk food is a regular part of your diet you need to cut it out quickly! They’re usually high in sodium and sugar which makes your belly larger.
