How To Lose Your Beer Belly Without Cutting Beer Out Completely

There are not many people on the planet that can say that they are entirely happy with the way they look. I think we all have our little insecurities and largely there is a wish to eat healthily and feel good about ourselves.


One of the areas we are most conscious of is our stomach. Not only can it appear unsightly but often times it is also very uncomfortable to have a bloated tummy.Men with beer guts and ladies trying to get a flat stomach both experience that yuck feeling sometimes.


There are a couple of changes you can make straight away which will make you feel a bit better. I'm not saying cut out everything you enjoy but it is worth replacing processed foods with some healthy alternatives. Try brown bread instead of white and perhaps have tuna instead of cheese in your sandwich. Don't discount the importance of water. I have recently slipped into a toast coffee and biscuit habit while my daughter has been poorly as it seemed easy to grab a quick snack. The result, fat stomach feeling sick and grumpy mum! I wrote down what I was eating and made a few notes as to what I would change.


Over the past few days I have made small changes and am already feeling a bit better. I have not gone all out and emptied my cupboards of all things processed as I know that won't work for my and my family will hate me for it. I am however thinking before I open a packet of potato chips and picking up a piece of fruit instead and I am having chicken or tuna sandwiches instead of my standard tuna


I have found that one of the biggest things for me is increasing my water intake and the reduced hot drinks. I am making sure I get a walk, go to the park or just play with my toddler for a while every afternoon. I am doing a fewsit ups and walking up and down my stairs but nothing too drastic. The main change is the reduction of starchy foods and more fruit and veggies.


After a couple of days my stomach is far less bloated and I feel much healthier. I have been doing the pilates one hundred exercise and some tummy cycle exercises but that's about all. My theory is that if I can feel so much better after such small changes I can lose a few inches if I really apply myself.


As my initial few days have been successful I am going to keep a blog of the changes I make and how I progress. I intend to add recipes and exercises and recommendations of anything I've found useful. I also have some pictures of me but the jury is out at the moment on whether I will publish them.
