6 Activities to do to lose big tummy in 6 days

Having belly fat is not something people look forward to, especially women. It does not only give an unpleasant look, but can actually pose threats to your health. Unwanted belly flab can actually lead to diabetes, stroke, dementia, and heart disease.

Thankfully, there are ways to flatten your belly in less than a week with the following tips:

1. Avoid sodium . Eating salty foods can retain more fluid in the body. As much as possible avoid foods that have high sodium content, including microwaveable meals. Instead, opt for a chicken salad or even a turkey sandwich for lunch. It also helps if you eat more fruits
and vegetables without adding salt to your meals.

2. Go for a low-carb diet . Bagels and pasta taste good, but they are not for people who want to control their weight. Have eggs for breakfast instead and eat foods that are rich in protein as well as those with low fat content, such as nuts and cheese. If you want to consume carbs, brown rice is a much better option than pasta, potatoes, and other starchy foods.


3. Limit milk consumption . If you are lactose intolerant, you do not have the ability to break down sugar that is present in milk. This explains why you feel gassy, bloated, or you experience cramps after eating dairy products, such as milk. As an alternative, try hard cheeses or yogurt or other dairy products that do not have lactose.

4. Eat the right fruits. While fruits are generally healthy, you may want to choose those that contain balanced amounts of glucose and fructose, which include grapes, citrus fruits, and berries. Apples, pears, and honeydew are also healthy, but they have more fructose, causing your tummy to find it more difficult to digest them.

5. Say no to spicy foods . When you consume spicy foods, they will encourage your stomach to release more acid. This will cause irritation and it is not good if you are trying to lose the belly fat in less than seven days. You can still use other seasoning, but choose dried or fresh herbs to stay on the healthy side.

6. Cut the CRAP. CRAP stands for caffeine, refined sugar, alcohol, and processed foods. These four are not good for you, especially if you want a flat belly in a week.

Dietary changes are definitely essential for those who aim to get rid of belly flab. Follow the tips above and you will surely find that you will be on your way to a sexier body in no time.

Trend Alert- Statement Dresses!


The resurgence of slogan dressing isn’t
novel— Ashley Williams and Marc by
Marc Jacobs both worked cheeky sayings
into their collections, and it seems that

Rihanna —fresh off a recent trip to
Cuba—took to the rainy streets in a
slinky, sequined dress that truly sent a
message.
Bad Gal RiRi came out in full force in
the Discount Universe dress emblazoned
with the words You Will Never Own Me,
a not-so-subtle nod to her devil-may-
care approach to life, and fashion.

Unbelieveable! Woman Removes Half Her Makeup and the result is surprising! Check out the Viral Video


With photoshopped selfies, overdrawn lips
and facial contouring feeding the trend
towards extreme transformations, makeup
seems less about enhancing natural beauty
and more about achieving absolute
perfection. Case in point: This viral video of
a South Korean woman "removing her
face".

She starts off with a smoky cat eye, Cara
Delevingne-worthy brows, a porcelain
complexion and a plump pink pout. One
cotton pad and a few swipes of makeup
remover later, half her face is bare while
the other side is left "on". The contrast is
unbelievably stark: the woman's natural
eyes appear much smaller, her eyebrows
much lighter and sparser, her skin darker.
