Can we talk? I mean, like really talk like we’re friends? Okay.
Don’t you hate it when you meet someone online and they look pretty cute or nice in their pics, but then when you see them in person, they don’t really look like that? No, you haven’t? Well, you might be that person! lol
It’s happened to so many of us that we tend to use it too: Special filters, shading, and camera angles to make our fat look less than it really is. But you can transform your body without Photoshop! Here’s how to really change your body…in real life!
Training. Women who hit the gym and watch calorie intake reduced ab fat-cell size by about 18%, making them more successful at tummy trimming than those who just dieted, according to a Wake Forest University study.
The more weight-bearing the exercise, the more calories torched from your midsection. So walk, run, or add some jump roping to your usual routine.
Research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that women who did full-body strength training twice a week decreased overall body fat and didn’t gain as much ab fat as those who didn’t.
Work in intervals. Women who did 20 minutes of interval training three times a week lost more belly fat than women who logged 40 minutes of moderate cardio three times a week, according to an Australian study.
Plank time. Instead of doing crunch or sit-ups, try planking for 2-minute intervals. Pull in your abs while you are planking and you will definitely feel it after 3 reps.
Do the bicycle to target other ab muscles (crunches work only the rectus abdominus, AKA your six-pack): Lie with your hands behind your head; alternate touching each elbow to the opposite knee.
Don’t neglect your midback muscles (the lats). They work with your core to help you stand straighter, minimizing your pooch. Try Lat Rows: Bend at the waist and hold a dumbbell in each hand; bend elbows and pull weights up until elbows are level with torso.
To really challenge your abs, crank out crunches on a stability ball. You’ll engage more muscles than you will doing traditional crunches, according to a study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
With the combination of these physical activities, you’ll transform your body without Photoshop in no time!
Watch your booze. Beer drinkers have the highest waist-to-hip ratios of those who have six or more drinks a week, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill research says. So keep the beer to a minimum, like once per night.
Have a little wine. Light to moderate wine drinking can protect against ab poundage, some studies suggest. But…sip just one daily glass of vino or other alcoholic beverage—more will build your belly instead.
Avoid carbonation. Fizzy drinks are full of gas—and you will be, too, if you drink them. The result? A not-so-svelte profile.
Cut back on energy drinks. Your body turns sugary, caffeine-laden drinks into fat faster than caffeine-free ones, spelling danger for your waistline, one New Zealand researcher notes.
Don’t sip through a straw—you’ll swallow extra air, which will show up on your middle.
Pass on the gum. Not only can chewing it make you swallow air but sugar alcohols in sugar-free gum and mints can cause a blown-up belly.
Eat well, eat more. Women in the Framingham Nutrition Studies who ate 360 more calories of healthier foods per day were less prone to ab fat than those who ate fewer calories, more saturated fat, and less fiber.
Obese adults who cut calories and increase whole-grain intake zapped more tummy pooch than those who stuck to refined grains, Penn State researchers found.
Pick lean protein. Moderate servings—about 40% of your daily calories—in your diet may lead to overall weight loss, particularly in the tummy, a study from Skidmore College reveals.
Research out of Spain shows that a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, like a Mediterranean diet, can prevent belly fat.
Up your calcium. Dieters who got 1,200 to 1,300 milligrams of daily calcium saw three times the belly trimming as those consuming the same calories but less calcium, University of Tennessee researchers said.
Get your daily dose from yogurt, rather than other dairy sources or supplements; its calcium may help whittle your middle, an International Journal of Obesity study points out. But …
Choose yogurt wisely. Rats who ate saccharin-sweetened yogurt gained more weight and body fat—including around the waistline—than those who ate sugar-sweetened yogurt, Purdue University researchers found.
Get your C. Women who took in 56 milligrams or less per day (the recommended dietary allowance is 60 mg) were more likely to accumulate belly fat than those who got 57 mg or more, a Journal of Public Health Nutrition study found.
Stock up. When you’re at home, many think they’re safe: safe from fast food or bad food that can revert you back to “fat land” but it all depends on what you already have in your home.
Stock your fridge and your cabinets with food that helps you instead of hurting you. Nine times out of 10, if you don’t have it already, it’s easier for you to go out and eat the wrong thing.
Get your sleep on. Sleep is the key to many things: your weight loss, your skin, your sex life, and just your overall health. Be sure to get your sleep so that your body will have a fighting chance to burn calories and help you transform.
You have the tips, now get to work and transform your body without Photoshop!
