1. Start Your Day Early

Don’t let extra hours lounging in bed stand between you and a flatter belly.

While getting enough sleep can help boost your metabolic rate, sleeping in

may undo any benefit you’d enjoy from catching a few extra winks. One

study reveals that late sleepers who snoozed past 10:45 in the morning ate

nearly 250 more calories over the course of the day, despite eating half as

many fruits and vegetables as their early bird counterparts. Even worse,

they chowed down on more salty, sugary, and trans fat-laden fast food than

those who woke up earlier. If you happen to head out of the house early,

you’re in for an additional metabolic boost; researchers at Northwestern

University have found that people exposed to just a short period of early

morning sunlight had lower BMIs than their late-waking counterparts.

2. Skip the Hydrogenated Oils

Those trans fats on your menu are hiding out in plain sight and sabotaging

your lean belly plans every time you eat them. If a food product says it

contains partially hydrogenated oils, you’re eating trans fat, which can

increase your risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, and obesity with every

bite. In fact, research conducted at Wake Forest University reveals that

monkeys whose diets contained eight percent trans fat upped their body fat

by 7.2 percent over a six-year study, while those who ate monounsaturated

fat gained just a fraction of that amount. Instead of letting harmful trans fat

take up space on your menu, fill up with healthy fats.

3. Switch to Sprouted Bread

While it’s often assumed that bread is off-limits when you’re trying to lose belly fat, the right bread may actually expedite the process. Switching to sprouted bread can help out carb-lovers eager to get their fix without going up a belt size, thanks to the inulin content of sprouted grains. The results of a study published in Nutrition & Metabolism reveal that found that pre-diabetic study subjects whose diets were supplemented with inulin shaved off more belly fat and total weight than those whose meal plans didn’t pack this healthy prebiotic fiber.

4. Say So Long to Sweeteners

While many people turn to artificial sweeteners in a misguided attempt to

whittle their waistlines, those fake sugars are likely to have the opposite

effect. According to researchers at Yale, artificial sweeteners are actually

linked with an increased risk of abdominal obesity and weight gain, possibly

because they can trigger cravings for the real stuff and spike insulin levels

in a similar fashion to real sugar.

5. Make Fiber Your Friend

The secret to a slimmer stomach in no time? A whole lot of fiber in your

diet. Although many people are loath to add carbs to their diet when they’re

trying to lose weight, adding the right, fiber-rich ones can have inches off

your belly in a hurry. In fact, researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical

Center found that every 10-gram daily increase in soluble fiber was

associated with a 3.7 percent decrease in dangerous visceral fat over five

years. Those who were active got even leaner, shaving off twice that much

fat in the same amount of time. To start ditching that extra belly fat today,

add fiber to your menu!

6. Snack on Some Veggies

Your parents weren’t kidding about how important veggies are for a healthy

body. What they probably didn’t tell you, however, was that snacking on

veggies is also one of the easiest ways to shed unwanted belly fat, too.

According to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition

and Dietetics, opting for non-starchy veggies, like cauliflower, broccoli, and

cucumber, as snacks helped overweight kids shed 17 percent of their

visceral fat while improving their insulin sensitivity over a five-year period.

Think snacking on veggies will leave you hungry? The fruits and veggies

will have your belly satisfied in no time.

7. Crank Up the Calcium

Say cheese! Adding some extra calcium to your diet could be the key to

getting that flat stomach you’ve been dreaming about. Over just 12 months,

researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville found that obese

female study subjects who upped their calcium intake shed 11 pounds of

body fat without other major dietary modifications. To keep your calcium

choices healthy, try mixing it up between dairy sources, calcium-rich leafy

greens, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds.

8. Snack on Some Tart Cherries

That sour cherry is pretty sweet when it comes to your health. The results

of a study conducted at the University of Michigan found that rats given

high-fat foods along with tart cherries ditched nine percent more body fat

than those in a control group over just 12 weeks. Cherries are also a good

source of antioxidant pigment resveratrol, which has been linked to

reductions in belly fat, dementia risk, and lower rates of macular

degeneration among the elderly.

9. Hit the Track

You don’t have to be the next Usain Bolt in the making to enjoy some

serious belly-slimming results from hitting the track from time to time. Even

a moderate-rate jog a few times a week can blast through that belly fat; in

fact, a study conducted at Duke University Medical Center found that, over

the course of an eight-month study, overweight adult study subjects who

jogged 12 miles a week lost the most belly fat and burned 67 percent more

calories than participants who did an equivalent amount of resistance

exercise, or a combination of cardio and resistance work.

10. Sleep It Off

Want to lose that belly fat? In your dreams! Seriously, though: a good

night’s sleep is one of the best ways to get rid of that extra fat around your

waist for good. Among the 60,000 women participating in the Nurses’

Health Study, those who snoozed for fewer than five hours a night were at

the greatest risk of becoming obese and gaining 30 or more pounds over

the course of the 16-year study period when compared to those who slept

for seven or more hours.
