1) Drink water after each meal (but not during)

When you drink water with meals, you dilute the hydrochloric acid lining your stomach, which leads to improper digestion (or indigestion).

Proper digestion is essential for your body to extract vitamins and nutrients from the food you eat.

If you can’t digest it, you can’t use it. Where does that leave you?

If you’re used to drinking water with your meals, you think skipping water sounds incredibly difficult, but as you’ll see, the opposite is true.

I thought that too, but it’s actually quite easy. Just decide not to drink water with food. Most fruits/vegetables and carbohydrate foods contain a lot of water, and your body easily absorbs the water found in food.

When you eat, do not have water or near you. Rather, leave it in the fridge.

One big plus is that a glass of ice cold water tastes amazing after a meal.

Be sure to wait at least 30-45 minutes before drinking water after eating, as you want to allow some time for digestion. Drinking water too soon after eating will cause a dilution of hydrochloric acid that interferes with proper digestion of nutrients.

2) Exercise before eating a cheat meal

The #1 time of day you can get away with eating more and worse food is after you work out.

This is because meals high in sugar and carbohydrates cause an insulin spike, which at any other time of the day can lead to fat gain, but after a workout, the insulin spike can speed up muscle recovery. and it will not have a negative impact on your waist (belly). fat storage).

Best to do a full workout at the gym and then go home and eat a cheat meal an hour later.

If hitting the gym isn’t in your plans, you can drop in and do about 50 push-ups, 40 body squats, pull-ups, pull-ups, or triceps wall extensions. Finish your workout by doing at least 30 minutes of jogging outside or 15 to 20 short hill sprints.

3) Read food labels

Avoid any foods with the words: soy, hydrogenated, vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, extract, gluten, preservative, aspartame and monosodium glutamate (this will probably be hidden under “natural flavoring” or hydrolyzed vegetable protein).

In fact, you should strive to avoid anything with more than 4-5 ingredients. Say no to Frankenfoods whose ingredient list reads like a book.

You should always avoid packaged processed foods even though sometimes you crave some sauce or some soup or something. Check the labels for the best option. As a fun game, next time you go to the grocery store, try to find 4 items without those nasty ingredients!

You may be surprised at what you have been eating all this time.

4) Eat High Carb/Low Fat or High Fat/Low Carb

To limit the accumulation of abdominal fat, you must limit the consumption of fats or the consumption of carbohydrates. That means if you ever want to eat more carbs, just cut back on your fat intake.

If you are eating high fat that day, reduce your carbohydrate intake. It doesn’t have to be all the way to zero, just turn it down.
