Flatter and tighter abs are without a doubt more appealing to look at than jelly bellies. A combination of eating the right kind of foods and regular exercise is actually the key to lean stomach muscles. For most men and women, exercise and diet may not be enough due to weakened abdominal muscles. For Minneapolis plastic surgeon James A. Hoffman, liposuction is the safest way to achieve the rockin’ body you’ve always wanted. He has helped men and women achieve symmetry and proportion with their body though a session of St. Paul liposuction.

Together with a Minneapolis liposuction procedure, you can also try the following tips below to get rid of belly flab!

1. Set realistic goals.
Instead of vague statements such as “I will eat better”, come up with goals which are more specific. Statements such as “I will eat more plant-based foods starting today including a serving of vegetable for each meal of the day.”

2. Go for the good carbs.
So which carbs actually fall into the “good” category? Good carbs are those who are classified with “low glycemic index”. Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how quickly a food breaks down and consequently increase your blood sugar levels — the slower, the better. High GI foods will only make you feel hungry again and a roller-coaster of low and high blood sugar levels will only increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes and belly fat. Good carbs include most vegetables, fruits and anything that is a hundred percent whole grain — from cereals to crackers to breads. Other excellent sources include couscous, beans, lentils, legumes and brown rice.

3. Walk, walk and walk.
Walking ain’t that hard, right? Walking has been proven to increase your energy levels, regulate blood pressure within healthy levels, and help you maintain a sexier tummy as a result of increased metabolic rate. A person aiming for a “physically active lifestyle” should take 10,000 steps each day. Getting a pedometer will help you measure up the number of steps you take each day.

4. Stock up on fruits and vegetables.
Clean up your fridge from food items which actually contribute to your belly flab — from pizza to high-caloric snacks including junk food. A real happy meal is anything which is made up mostly of fruits and vegetables.

5. Relax!
The higher your stress levels, the greater the likelihood of a larger waist size. This Science Daily article stated that the stress hormone, cortisol, has been linked to “excessive amounts of visceral fat”.
