You're happy with your body (and you should be), but you wish you could be just a tad more defined, slimmer, sexier...you know what we mean. This program will deliver the results you crave in six weeks so you look and feel your best.</div>

A combination of heavy- and lighter-weight resistance training, bodyweight workouts, and flexibility work helps define sleek muscles, causing you to lose inches in the process. Feel free to adjust the schedule below to meet your personal needs (for example, rest on Wednesdays instead of Sundays). The only rule is to perform the workouts in the same order if possible.</div>

As you build strength, gradually increase the amount of weight you use during your workouts. The last few reps of each set should be challenging but not impossible to perform with proper form.</div>

<em>This article was written by Victoria Wolk and provided by our partners at </em><span style="color: #00a5d9;">Prevention</span><em>.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Losing weight is hard work. Sometimes the gym is just so far away, and that box of doughnuts is just so right there. But here's some good news for the willpower-deprived: You don't have to be obsessive about <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">diet</span></span> and exercise to <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">lose weight</span></span>. Slackers can be slim, too. Here's what to do:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong><span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">Diet</span></span> Twice a Week</strong><br />In a three-month study, women who went on a low-carb diet for two days per week lost nine pounds, while those who scaled back to 1,500 calories every day for the entire week lost the same amount. Here's what's probably happening: On a strict diet that never gives you freedom, you're bound to get hungry and slip up. But on a two-day diet, you can better withstand the cravings because you know it'll end soon. As long as you don't overindulge when you return to eating normally, your overall calorie intake for the week will be lower, and you'll <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">lose weight</span></span>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Tone Down the Workout Intensity</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Exercising too hard without enough recovery time increases levels of the stress hormone cortisol, says Jade Teta, an integrative physician and author of <em>The Metabolic Effect <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">Diet</span></span></em>. This causes your body to hold onto belly fat. So how do you hit that sweet spot between calorie-burning effort and adequate rest? When doing high-intensity <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span>, trainer Michelle Lovitt recommends wearing a heart-rate (HR) monitor and aiming for 85 percent to 90 percent of max HR during intervals and 60 percent to 70 percent during recoveries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Write (Some) Stuff Down</strong><br />Food journaling is a great way to become more aware of what you're putting in your mouth, but it can get boring fast. "When people feel overwhelmed by something, they tend to stop altogether," says clinical psychologist Ninoska Peterson, Ph.D. Journal twice during the week and once on weekends, she says. In a recent study, 220 women who wrote down what they ate at least three days per week lost an average of 11 pounds in 18 months.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Cut Your Gym Time</strong><br />In a study from the University of Copenhagen, participants who exercised 30 minutes per day for three months lost about eight pounds, while those who worked out 60 minutes per day lost only six pounds. Since a half hour of exercise isn't as exhausting as a full hour, you're less likely to end up on the couch for the rest of the day and remain active, which burns even more calories. Longer <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span> also make it more likely you'll reward yourself with food afterward.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Hit the Snooze Button</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
When you don't get enough shuteye, you're more likely to eat high-calorie foods, according to researchers at the University of Colorado. Twenty-three men and women spent two nights in a sleep lab. On the first morning—after about eight hours of rest—they rated how strongly they desired different foods. About a week later, they returned to the lab, stayed up all night, and then rated those foods again. Cravings for desserts and chips skyrocketed. Researchers speculate that lack of sleep disrupts the brain's pathways, making us more prone to poor decisions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Schedule More Rest Days</strong><br />"Building in recovery time lets your body repair itself between <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span>," says trainer Rachel Cosgrove. This means you'll build more metabolism-revving muscle mass, which helps you burn more calories even when you're not at the gym. Of course, this doesn't mean you should do nothing. Think "active rest": gentle yoga, walking the dog, gardening, etc. "The goal of a recovery day is to get the blood flowing, to stretch, and to move your body gently," says Cosgrove.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Strength Train Twice a Week</strong><br />Adding resistance training to your exercise routine does wonders for weight loss: The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism. But don't overdo things. It's the rest-and-recovery principle at work again. According to Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., director of fitness research at Quincy College, it's just as effective to strength train twice per week as it is to do it every other day. In fact, in a recent study, those who strength trained twice weekly for 10 weeks had the same increase in muscle mass—an average of 3.1 pounds—as those who added a third weekly session. Same results in less time? Slackers, rejoice!</div>

<strong>The Lifestyle</strong><br />Genetics have not been kind to me—my grandparents and parents are overweight, so that must've trickled down from them to me. But 10 years ago, I was working at a hotel when I was sexually assaulted and robbed at gunpoint. I don't remember everything that happened—my body went into shock—but it made me mistrust people. It hurt me so much so that I didn't date for eight years. The entire experience was traumatizing, and I didn't know how else to cope with that except to eat. Eating was my emotional comfort, and that's when I really started to pack on weight. I didn't realize this was happening because food made me feel happy. It wasn't uncommon for me to order a whole pizza and eat it by myself. It was in 2011 when I had my wakeup call.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>The Change</strong><br />The fall came and went, and I was still battling my depression from that scary night years ago. Then one morning at 4 a.m. in the spring, I thought I was having a heart attack, which turned out to be a panic attack instead. Still, that is <em>not</em> how I wanted to die. My father passed away from heart disease, and my grandmother had a heart attack—the thought of me having one just really freaked me out. So that day, I walked around the block at my school (I'm a teacher) during lunch. Something had to change, or else I wouldn't make it through another summer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
I started with exercise—and that was absolutely terrifying. I walked into the local YMCA and signed up to work with a trainer. And thank goodness. First, we started off <em>super-</em>slowly—sitting up and down in a chair and walking stairs. Mind you, I was still very nervous to work so closely with someone—especially a guy—because of my previous incident. But this trainer saved my life. He encouraged me to talk, open up, and let him know what I really wanted out of my <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span> and life. I told him I had a goal of<span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">running</span></span> a 5-K, and he cheered me on to train for this. That Thanksgiving, I did it. Yes, people walked past me—senior citizens!—but I finished the race. Crossing that finish line made me feel so proud. I truly believed I could never, ever do this, and this changed my entire mindset; I had it in me to accomplish things I didn't think were possible. Fun fact: I just finished my 20th 5-K.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
My trainer's <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span> were hard—I was sore, tired, and wanted to cry at points. But he always pushed me to stop <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">running</span></span> from the fear and pain, toughen up, and get through it. I could be in tears, and he still forced me onto the treadmill. He didn't allow any B.S. from me. While I no longer work with the same trainer (we were together for about one and a half years), my new one has introduced me to strength training, which I love. I'm doing my first powerlifting competition soon. I'll probably come in last place, but I don't care—I'm so excited!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
My nutrition was not an overnight change, but it was something that had to be done. So I made small improvements. I started my days with breakfast—a whole-wheat bagel with peanut butter for instance—cooked at home, cut soda, and packed my own lunch. Then I'd dedicate time on the weekends to preparing meals in my kitchen for the entire week. I'm not on a <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">diet</span></span> per se, and I don't want to be. If I want to eat pizza, I'll make my own with a whole-wheat crust and turkey sausage. Some of my favorite go-tos are enchiladas in a whole-wheat wrap with shredded chicken inside, sweet potato fries, and turkey burgers (sometimes wrapped in lettuce instead of the buns). It's funny because you can actually go to certain fast food places or restaurants, request healthier options, and they'll satisfy your request. All you have to do is ask!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>The Reward</strong><br />I'm so much more confident and happier with myself. And I'm no longer afraid of going out and not fitting into a booth or rollercoaster seat. Those are some of the biggest changes I love about my journey. On another note, I love shopping and trying on whatever I want—my whole life I've never been able to have fun picking out new clothes. Last December was the first time I walked into Victoria's Secret and tried on lingerie. I had a moment in the dressing room like, "Oh my God, I'm actually trying on Victoria's Secret!" I ended up buying a $50 red nighty thing. The beauty of my purchase was that it was for <em>me</em>—I didn't have a date or anything. I had to do this for myself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>My Tips</strong><br /><strong>Don't be too proud to ask for help when you need it. </strong>You're at your current weight because of something, and it's okay to reach out and ask for guidance from another person. Never feel judged or ashamed.<br /><strong>Make gradual food changes.</strong>  You'll be overwhelmed if you do it all at once and won't stick with it.<br /><strong>Change the way you think about weight loss. </strong>It's more of a mental change than just a physical one. I didn't realize I could do a 5-K until I actually did it.</div>

<strong>Choose the Right Hike</strong><br />An easy rule of thumb: If you can't walk 10 miles, don't choose a hike that's 10 miles, says Jeff Alt, hiking expert and author of <em style="border: none; color: #00a5d9; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Four Boots One Journey</em><span style="color: #00a5d9;">. Be mindful of the altitude and time of year; if the temperature or altitude is too high, you'll need to take some days to acclimate first, he says. You might be tempted to choose a difficult trail that's out of your comfort zone, but always back off if the terrain gets too hard, says Alt. If you're still itching to try something challenging, find a group that's done the trail before, he says. You'll have the extra support from experts who know how to navigate the tough parts, and you can bond with them over accomplishing it.  </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Load Up on Outdoor Apps</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
We get it: Hikes are a time to be in touch with nature. But there are actually a handful of reasons why you should bring your smart phone. "As far as emergency procedures go, your cellphone should be at the bottom of the list because you won't always have service," says Alt—<em>but</em> Alt says he uses his smart phone to take photos quickly and to record birdcalls he hears on the trail so he can review them later. There are also tons of hiking apps to check out. Alt specifically recommends <em><span style="color: #00a5d9;">The Spot</span></em>, a free GPS tracker that uploads real-time information on your location and condition, so people at home can track your progress.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Tell People Where You're Going</strong><br />As a safety precaution, you should always tell someone the details of your hike. That way you're covered on the rare chance that something happens to you on the trail, says Alt. "Include what trail you're taking, where you're leaving your vehicle, when you're going to return, what date should your person contact authorities if you haven't returned, and who should they call for the park emergency number," he says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Learn the Rule of Threes</strong><br />The international signal for "I need help" is anything grouped in three, says Alt. For example: three whistle blows, three pieces of clothing left on the trail, or three fires. Park rangers are trained to look for these signals, so if you need help, they'll recognize what you’ve put out, says Alt. If you're hiking above tree line, though, pack a signal mirror—create three mirror flashes, and overhead aircrafts will be able to call in your coordinates and send help, he says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Leave Early and Pace Yourself</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Know your pace. If you're averaging two miles an hour for an eight-mile hike, you'll need at least four or five hours to complete it. Start your hike in the early morning so you have time to get back to your camp or car before it gets dark, says Alt, and give yourself extra time so you can stop along the way, he says. "If I run across that amazing view and I want to enjoy it, or that midday heat, I've got time now to just hide out in the shade of this tree and take a cat nap or something," he says. "Just gives me more time to not stress, but relax and enjoy the hike." Be mindful of the weather in the morning, and be prepared for it to change by the afternoon. "In the morning you'll be nice and cool, but by midday it can be unbearably hot," says Alt. Overall: Your best bet is to knock off most of your miles before midday—that way, you won’t get stuck in the sun or the dark, he says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Practice Trail Etiquette</strong><br />For one: Stick to the trail, says Alt. You'll protect the environment that way. Plus, you're more prone to getting ticks off trail, he says. Another protocol to keep in mind: You should always be polite and share the trail, but the person hiking uphill has the right of way, says Alt. When a hiker going uphill approaches you head-on, stop, step to the side, and let him or her call the shot. "Sometimes they're using you as an excuse to catch their breath," he says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Layer on Protection</strong><br />Even if you're nestled in the shade of a tree canopy, you're still being exposed to the sun, says Alt. And—ouch!—the bugs. Start with bug repellant and sunscreen, and apply both at least 30 minutes before you go out, says Kathy Kupper, National Park Service spokesperson. Put bug repellant on before you apply sunscreen so that you can keep reapplying the sunscreen, says Alt. For even more protection, wear long sleeves and pants with adjustable lengths so you can modify with the elements, says Alt. "When I'm going out doing a 20-mile day hike, I'm sweating profusely, so the bug repellant has left my skin towards the end of the day,” says Alt. "Rolling down your sleeves and zipping on your pant legs prevents some of those bites." And dressing in layers is a must, he says. Start with a short-sleeved base layer made from wicking fabric, to pull sweat away from your skin and keep you from getting too cold. Then have a middle layer like a fleece or long-sleeved shirt made from a wool blend or synthetic wicking fabric, just no cotton, says Alt. And take a waterproof shell or breathable rain parka with you in case you get hit with summer showers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Wear the Right Shoes</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Any old sneakers probably won't cut it on tough trails, says Alt. Find a hiking boot with soles especially designed for absorbing shock, he says. If you're traveling with a backpack, it usually means you're carrying more pounds that you're used to, so you'll need that extra cushion under your feet. Most hiking boots have soles with a special gripping system, too, so if you step on a slippery rock, you won't take a spill. If you're going on a hike with rock scrambles, you should wear shoes that cover your ankles, so you don't twist them in the uneven terrain, says Kupper. Always wear thick synthetic or wool socks to prevent blisters and chafing, and make sure you take them when you try on hiking shoes, says Alt. "No one brand works for everyone," he says. "Just like <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">running</span></span> shoes, we all have different feet, so it's important to try (shoes) on in the store."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Use Hiking Poles</strong><br />Think of hiking poles as having two extra legs, says Kupper. If you feel a little bit unsteady on the trail, poles can help support you. Poles also slow down your momentum going downhill and serve as a "stair rail" support on the way up, says Alt, so you'll be able to more safely manage steep or uneven trails. They also help keep you healthy: "Poles disperse the workout to your entire body, so it takes pressure off of your knees," says Alt. And by dispersing that workout, like a cross-country skier, you're also working your upper body. (Hello, abs workout disguised as a hike!) Make sure you use two poles, though—over time, hiking with one pole could injure your back and disrupt you body symmetry, says Alt.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Pack a Snack and Enough Water</strong><br />Just like with any workout, you need fuel for a hike. Some people lose their appetites while exercising at a high altitude, but it's crucial that you eat something for energy, says Alt, so take a snack you know you love. And drink small sips of water constantly throughout the hike, even when you’re not thirsty, says Kupper. "The key is to drink <em>before</em> you get thirsty," she says. (<span style="color: #00a5d9;">Learn the signs of dehydration here</span>.) Have at least two quarts of water in easy-to-carry water bottles or backpack hydration systems, says Alt. And make sure you pack them beforehand, because you can’t always trust the water you come across on the trail.  </div>

A toned, flat tummy is a goal many of us strive to achieve, but endless crunches and ditching all your favorite foods isn't the right way to do it. Fortunately, a flat belly can be attained just by incorporating small changes into your day. Here are 21 simple ways to flatten your belly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>1. Exercise with Friends</strong><br />
Instead of catching up with friends over food and drinks, suggest a reunion on the move—you're likely to work out 104 percent harder if you have an exercise buddy. Suggest a weekly walk-and-talk session, form a friendly fitness club, or take advantage of gym specials together. You'll motivate everyone to get moving while you grow even closer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>2. Try the Roll-Up</strong><br />
Hold a resistance band taut between your hands and lie on the floor face up, with your legs extended and arms overhead. Pull <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">your abs</span></span> in, tuck your chin, lift arms toward the ceiling, and roll your head, shoulders, and torso up and over your legs as far as you can. Keep heels firmly on the floor and reach hands towards your feet. Pause, then slowly roll back down. Do five to eight reps with 30 minutes of <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">cardio</span></span> five to six times a week. (For more super-effective exercises, check out <span style="color: #00a5d9;">how to use resistance bands</span>.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>3. Make Time for <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">Cardio</span></span></strong><br />
If you want to burn the most belly fat, a Duke University study confirms that aerobic exercise is the most effective in burning that deep, visceral belly fat. In fact, aerobic training burns 67 percent more calories than resistance training or a combination of the two, according to the study. If you're low on motivation, these <span style="color: #00a5d9;">31 ways to never skip another workout</span> can help.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>4. Plank Harder</strong><br />
Try the Spiderman Climber: Get into plank position with your arms and legs extended, hands beneath shoulders, and feet flexed. Keeping <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">your abs</span></span>tight, bend your left leg out to the side and bring the knee toward the left elbow. Pause, then return to start. Switch sides. Do 20 reps, alternating sides, with 30 minutes of <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">cardio</span></span> five to six times a week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>5. Consume More Fiber</strong><br />
For every 10 grams of fiber you eat daily, your belly will carry almost four percent less fat. Thankfully, there are more enjoyable ways to increase your fiber than scarfing down a box of bran flakes: Two apples, half a cup of pinto beans, one artichoke, or two cups of broccoli will all give you 10 grams of belly-flattening fiber each. (For more tasty fiber ideas, see our <span style="color: #00a5d9;">100 cleanest packaged food awards</span>.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>6. Take Charge in Restaurants</strong><br />
Saying, "I'll go last" when the waiter comes around could be adding bulk to your belly. A recent study showed that a normal-weight woman was more likely to mimic a thin woman's eating habits than an obese woman's. So when you're out for girl's night, order first. You'll keep yourself—and maybe even a friend or two—on track to a flatter tummy. (Avoid other food traps with <span style="color: #00a5d9;">six ways restaurants try to make you fat</span>.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>7. Do the Windshield Wiper</strong><br />
Lie face up with arms out to your sides, palms down, and legs bent at 90 degrees so your feet are off the floor. Keep <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">your abs</span></span> tight and slowly lower your legs to the left as far as possible, keeping your shoulders on the floor. Pause, then return to start. Repeat to the right. Do 20 reps, alternating sides.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>8. Perfect Your Posture</strong><br />
While you're driving, sitting, or just waiting at the doctor's office, imagine there's gum or wet paint on the back of your chair so you have to hold yourself up instead of leaning back. Keep your shoulder blades down and back, abdominals lifted, and picture yourself knitting your rib cage together and in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>9. Cut Back on Salt</strong><br />
Too much salt will make you retain more fluid, which contributes to a puffy appearance and extra water weight. (Avoid these <span style="color: #00a5d9;">10 other foods that cause belly bloat</span>.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>10. Fry Fat with The Boat Move</strong><br />
Target your deepest abs muscles with The Boat. Lie face up on a mat with your arms straight up over chest. Lift your upper body off the ground by rolling through the spine. At the same time, raise your legs so that you're balancing on your butt, knees bent and shins parallel to the ground. Slowly roll back down onto the mat, lowering legs. That’s one rep. Do five reps per set, resting 30 to 60 seconds between sets.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>11. Eat More Avocado</strong><br />
Just half an avocado contains 10 grams of monounsaturated fatty acids, which halt blood sugar spikes that tell your body to store fat around your belly. Eat these in 1/4 cup servings to ward off belly fat without overdoing it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>12. Play Catch</strong><br />
Get into a crunch position: Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor, shoulders and head off the floor with your abs contracted. Then have someone throw an exercise ball (or basketball) to you—first to your left side so you have to twist and reach to catch it, and then to your right. Do this as many times as is comfortable, and try to increase the number each week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>13. Skip the Soda</strong><br />
Where do you think all those bubbles from carbonated drinks end up? They gang up in your belly! (Check out all <span style="color: #00a5d9;">seven nasty side effects of drinking diet soda</span>.) Swap soda, <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">diet</span></span> soda, and seltzer for <span style="color: #00a5d9;">Sassy Water</span>, our slimming staple beverage.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>14. Ditch Alcohol</strong><br />
That glass of wine with every meal may be part of the reason your jeans are too tight. Too much alcohol can raise cortisol levels, sending fat straight to your belly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>15. Sprinkle Seeds into Meals</strong><br />
Sunflower seeds are packed with tons of monounsaturated fatty acids and B vitamins, which play an important role in protecting against inflammation. Add 2 tablespoons on top of your salad and stir-fries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>16. Consume More Seafood</strong><br />
Salmon and other fatty fish are rich in the same omega-3 fatty acids as many belly-fat-busting foods. Try poaching your fish for a low-calorie way to enjoy this lean protein, like in these <span style="color: #00a5d9;">five fresh seafood recipes</span>.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>17. Hydrate with H20</strong><br />
Forget water weight: Drinking lots of water helps flush bloat that your body might be holding onto.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>18. Stand Tall While Weight Lifting</strong><br />
Stand as much as possible when doing strength-training exercises. That way your abs will naturally help to balance and stabilize your body. Concentrate on keeping your abs tight and maintaining good posture while you lift but without holding your breath.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>19. Get More Sleep</strong><br />
Research from the University of Chicago shows that those who sleep seven hours or more a night lose twice as much fat and are less hungry than those who get less than seven hours of shut-eye. If sleeping's a struggle for you, these <span style="color: #00a5d9;">20 ways to sleep better every night</span> can help.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>20. Keep Peanut Butter Available</strong><br />
One serving of peanut butter has 2 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein, on top of belly-busting monounsaturated fatty acids.

8 Easy Ways to Lose a Pound a Week

Brilliant food swaps that won't sacrifice flavor—or leave you starving.</h3>
<div>
<img src="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/files/wh6_uploads/imagecache/scale_600_wide/images/pound-a-week_0.jpg" /></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Lets do the math: To lose one pound in seven days, you need to subtract about 3,500 calories. The safest, most hunger-free way to do this is to spread it out over the course of a week, deleting approximately 500 calories a day. Some of that number can be burned off by ramping up your<span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span>, while the rest of it can be achieved by making some ridiculously easy food swamps that won’t leave your stomach growly or make your taste buds miss out on flavor. Try as many of these creative ways to cut calories as you can (altogether, they add up to 3,500 calories you won't miss), and watch the number on the scale head south.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Skip the Cheese on Your Sandwich at Lunch</strong><br />
The typical slice of Swiss or American can rack up 80 to 100 calories, says Kylene Bogden, R.D., a nutritionist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Order your midday ham and cheese or turkey and Swiss sammy without the two to three slices the typical restaurant or deli piles on, and you cut up to 300 calories without sacrificing the filling protein in the meat and poultry. That means if you go cheese-free three times this week, you'll come up short 900 calories.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Wrap Your Burger in a Lettuce Boat Bun</strong><br />
“One crisp piece of lettuce has about five calories, while the typical burger bun packs close to 250,” says Bogden. Considering that most white-bread buns don’t even taste all that good and provide little more than simple carb starchiness, it’s a no-brainer. Bibb and Romaine lettuce hold up best, or try a more exotic leafy green, like radicchio or Swiss chard.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>Sip Fruit-Flavored Herbal Water</strong><br />
A standard eight-ounce serving of fruit juice has about 120 calories, though most of us pour juice in glasses much larger than that. “Get the same fruit flavor by drinking naturally flavored sparkling or regular water infused with fruit or herbs, and you save 100 or so calories per glass,” says Bogden. Make this swap once a day, and you'll consume 700 fewer calories this week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>Spritz Lemon on Your Salad</strong><br />
Dressing is a big fat bomb, so skip it and instead squeeze half a lemon over your greens. “You get this great tangy flavor kick, and the moisture helps bind your salad ingredients together—but you can easily delete 200 calories,” says Bogden. And if you consume three salads a week, those caloric savings really add up.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Pour Almond Milk in Your Cereal Bowl</strong><br />
Unsweetened almond milk is super-nutritious and delicious, and a half-cup only has 30 calories (versus the 70 calories in the same serving size of regular milk). Sure it’s a small swap, but if a bowl of cereal is your go-to breakfast, it’ll add up to 280 saved calories over the course of a week, says Bogden.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Mist Your Oil When You Cook</strong><br />
“Cooking food generally requires putting oil in the pan or baking dish, and the amount most of us put on can add 300 calories to a meal,” says Bogden. The solution: Buy an oil mister, which evenly spreads a much thinner layer of your healthy vegetable or olive oil across the bottom of the pan. You can save 250 calories this way without sacrificing the heart-healthy, natural oil, she says. Over two nights of cooking, that comes out to 500 fewer cals you're taking in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Order Thin-Slice Pizza</strong><br />
All that bread on the typical thicker-crusted pizza slice packs extra calories without giving you much extra nutrition, says Bogden. Make yours thin crust and skip meat or extra cheese toppings, and you save 200 to 300 calories.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>Make Greek Yogurt Your Go-To Condiment</strong><br />
The mayo and sour cream you use on sandwiches and in dips has about 100 calories per tablespoon, while nonfat Greek yogurt, which is just as tangy and flavorful, scores you about a third that amount, says Bogden. Swap five tablespoons of mayo per week for the same amount of Greek yogurt to cut about 335 calories.</div>

The Other Side of Weight Loss No One Talks About

Even though Erika Schnauzer lost almost 100 pounds, she <i>still</i> wasn't satisfied with her body. Read why she fell into depression after her weight-loss journey.</h3>
<div>
<img src="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/files/wh6_uploads/imagecache/scale_600_wide/images/wl-depression.jpg" /></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Chicago native Erika Schnure, 29, knew she was overweight—and she didn't want to become like her diabetic mother. "I saw how much she was struggling," says Erika, "and I didn't want to go through that as well." So in November 2011, the 5'6" Erika decided to start trimming her 230-pound frame.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Initially, she lost about 50 pounds by making simple tweaks to her eating habits—like cooking more meals at home instead of taking trips to Five Guys or Chipotle. Then, when Erika hit a plateau, she incorporated more exercise into her routine, <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">running</span></span> and participating in races like a 5-K turkey trot. "I liked the runner's high that I got," she says. "I liked the competition and challenging myself to constantly do better." In April 2013, Erika weighed about 140 pounds—and she's now maintained that weight for more than a year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
But dropping 90 pounds didn't make Erika feel happy, as she'd expected. In fact, her weight loss spurred a bout of depression that she's still dealing with today. While the exact connection between weight loss and depression is still unclear, some <span style="color: #00a5d9;">research does indicate that there may be an association between the two</span>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Here, Erika opens up about the emotional battle she faced after finally hitting her weight-loss goal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: What do you think occurred after your weight loss that led to your depression?</strong><br /><strong>Erika:</strong> One thing I think contributed to this was that [during your weight-loss journey], you're working for something for so long. And then when you're done, it feels like, "Well, what now?" Losing weight was my life for about 17 months, and I didn't know what to do [without that goal in my life.]</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
[Weight loss] was like a mission for me. I had to set another goal, but I had no idea what that would be. Losing weight was something I did for such a long time that it felt like I lost a friend. This [journey] made me really happy—to see myself losing weight—and when it was over, there was nothing else there.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
I was still obsessed with weighing myself every day even though I was already at my goal weight. Any time that scale moved, I got upset about it. I had worked so hard to [meet my goal] that if I gained two pounds or something, I thought [my weight] would spiral again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: So how did that affect your day-to-day life?</strong><br />I stressed over maintaining my weight. Around [the time I reach my goal weight], I was training for a half-marathon. But I freaked out every time I gained a little bit of weight—which happened because I was eating too much for what I was training for. There's a delicate balance there that you have to figure out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
At a certain point, I also lost all of my motivation to do <em>anything</em>. I was still eating fine, but I pretty much stopped exercising—which could've also been due to the Chicago winter. But I wasn't interested in exercising. I'd come home and watch TV.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
I tried to do some <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">workouts</span></span> at home—like DVDs—but usually I wanted to just sit around. Exercising was my productive way of de-stressing. If I had a really bad day at work, I would look forward to coming home and <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">running</span></span>because I could "run" that stress and anger out of me. But then I wasn't relieving my stress in a productive way—or at all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: You mentioned you've cleaned up your <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;"><span style="color: #00a5d9;">diet</span></span>, but do you still allow yourself to indulge now and then? Is that hard?</strong><br />I don't do it often—maybe once a month—but if I do go out to a nice dinner, I'll order a steak and potatoes. I watch my portions when I do [indulge] so that I don't feel completely stuffed or uncomfortable.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
There is a little bit of guilt because I think, "This is what got me [to my previous weight] in the first place." But when [these indulgences] are so sporadic, you have to train yourself to learn that this one meal won't make you gain five pounds. You have to get over it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: So you definitely have a lingering fear about gaining weight?</strong><br />Oh, yeah. I've gained a little bit back, but there's a huge fear of going back [to the way I used to be]. I still keep a pair of size 18 jeans [as a reminder] that I can't go back to that weight. I can't do it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: That must be emotionally taxing to worry about. But what's so frightening about the idea of going back to your old life exactly?</strong><br />I was so unhappy and uncomfortable [in my body]. I didn't get out much; mainly just stayed inside. I wasn't living my life. Last year, my mom and I took a vacation to Hawaii. I was climbing all over the volcanic rocks, which I would not have been able to do before because I'd get tired or not be able to lift my legs as high [to climb].</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: What about your new body image? Does that also play a role?</strong><br />There's a part to weight loss that people don't tell you about: It's that you aren't going to look like a supermodel afterward. You may have skin issues that you wouldn't really think about.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>WH: What do you mean by that exactly?</strong><br />It's really all of the excess skin. Of course, it's different if you lose 20 pounds versus 100 pounds. I have a lot of sagging skin on my stomach that puckers a little bit. It doesn't look awesome. It's the same thing with my upper arms. I do love some parts of my new body—like my runner's legs—but it's really about my stomach. Someone close to me said that I couldn't wear a bikini because of it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: How do you cope with hurtful comments like that?</strong><br />Yes, sometimes I'm self-conscious about [my stomach]. But everyone has their imperfections. People have said, "Oh gross, look at her stomach," but I don't care. I earned the right to wear a bikini, so I'm going to do it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal !important; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>WH: Is there anything else that you're insecure about?</strong><br />Definitely my stomach—but my boobs sag a little bit now. That's generally it. It's really just the skin that hangs around that you can't really do much with. It would've been really helpful to know [before losing weight] that I wasn't going to look exactly the way that I wanted to.</div>

<strong>WH: You're so brave to admit all of this. What have you done to fight depression from taking over completely?</strong><br />It's something I still struggle with. But if I think about how I felt back then, I realize I don't want to feel like that again, and I know what I have to do to not go back there. I have to stay active. A few weeks ago I started paying for a fitness program because if I pay for something, I'm more likely to stick with it. Plus, my boyfriend [encourages me], so that helps, too.</div>

Not only is belly fat unflattering, but it has been scientifically linked to many health problems, such as bloating, heartburn, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and many others (and you thought having a muffin top was the worst part!). The good news is losing stomach fat and getting a flat tummy or even getting those fabulous six pack abs are not as difficult as many #people think. entrenamiento</div>

Before you do your first sit-up or dump that soda down the drain, you need to decide how many pounds you want to lose. Losing weight and getting rid of belly fat take some work, and you really need to set a goal to keep an eye on your progress. You're not going to lose all the fat around your waist in 3 days, and you will definitely need to break some sweat before you lose that #stomach fat. Just remember that it's completely doable and if you keep implementing these#best ways to lose stomach fat, you'll get the body you've always wanted in a matter of months.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
So, once you know how much #weight you want to lose or how many inches around your waist you want to get rid of, all you need to do is pick a minimum 10 ways to lose belly fat from the list below and apply them for 2 weeks. Afterwards, weigh yourself again or take the new measurements. You'll see that your waist is getting slimmer and you've already shed a few pounds. At this point, add 5 more routines from this list to the 10 you've been doing before and carry on for 2 more weeks. Then again, do the measurements to track your progress and add 5 more routines to the 15 ways to lose#belly fat you've been using so far. Depending on your#weight loss goal and your current weight, it will take anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months maximum to get that perfect stomach you've always wanted.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">4. CUT OUT FAST FOOD - IT'S AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR HAVING A FLAT TUMMY</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/21180820_5087.jpg" width="266" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
Fast food is the worst culprit in the battle against stomach fat. It's convenient, sure, but it's loaded with calories and fat, and those #calories and fat head straight to our "problem areas," our bellies and butts! Skip the fast food, or at least opt for healthier fast food options, like salads (without fried chicken or calorie-rich ranch on them) instead of fries. But if you are really set on losing #stomach fat fast, avoid the fast food altogether.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">

<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">5. CUT OUT SODA</span></h2>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
A serving of soda contains more calories than a large banana, with none of the nutritional value. Many of those#calories come from high fructose corn syrup, which our bodies don't really know how to process, and which often ends up turning into belly fat. Ditch the soda and save those calories for something much better for burning</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. DOING YOUR WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISES - ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO LOSE STOMACH FAT FAST</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/21180847_0478.jpg" width="323" /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
If you think you'll need to spend the rest of your life only doing sit-ups and crunches to burn #belly fat and keep it off, that's not quite true. You'll need to do all sorts of exercises, in moderation, including weight bearing exercises, like brisk walking, jogging, and the like. Remember, overall fitness and nutrition is the key for losing #stomach fat, and making sure it doesn't come back!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">7. DO YOUR NON-WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISES, TOO!</span></h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/09201627_4341.jpg" width="291" /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
In addition to the #weight bearing exercises to help you burn belly fat, you'll also need to add non-weight bearing exercises, like biking and rowing. These two (weight bearing and non-weight bearing), combined with weight training and cardio, and some yoga thrown in for good measure, will give you a lifetime of fitness and good health — and of course will melt that #belly fat away for good!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
8. DON’T BE COMPLACENT!</h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/09201627_4114.jpg" width="266" /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
Once you've got the body you want (no belly fat in sight!), that doesn't mean it's #time to rest on your laurels. Don't stop exercising. Don't stop eating right. Keep up with your plan, and you'll keep your new hot#body! Remember, it's not just about losing #belly fat, it's about being healthier in general. Health is a way of life, a new life plan, and you have to stick with it!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
9. DON’T STARVE YOURSELF! IT WON'T HELP YOU LOSE STOMACH FAT FASTER</h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/09201628_7166.jpg" width="266" /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
Starving yourself will not help you burn belly fat. Cut calories, by all means, especially the empty calories, but to be healthy and lose #belly fat, you need to eat well. Starving yourself is dangerous, terribly unhealthy, and it won't work anyway! It wrecks your metabolism and leads to many other health problems. Don't even make the mistake of thinking that skipping breakfast, lunch, or dinner will make you lose #weight.</div>
</h2>
<h2>
<br />10. DON’T DEPRIVE YOURSELF, EITHER!</h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/09201627_3605.jpg" width="352" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
In addition to not starving yourself, don't feel you have to deprive yourself all the #time just because you want to lose stomach fat. Is this carte-blanche for eating an entire carton of Ben & Jerry's? No. But you CAN have a small dish, once in a while, to keep the edge off your cravings and to remind yourself that life is good! Now, could there be a better way to lose #stomach fat?</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
<b>11. DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR GOAL TO LOSE STOMACH FAT FAST</b></h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">

<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
After a couple of weeks you might find that you're not losing #weight or inches anymore. What gives? Don't give up, sweetie! That's just a plateau, a sign your #body is adjusting to all of the positive things you're doing. Keep going! You're getting there! You are now much closer to losing all that #stomach fat than ever!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
<b>12. DON’T TRY TO ISOLATE</b></h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/21180750_7082.jpg" width="342" /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
It's a scientific and biological fact: you absolutely cannot isolate one set of muscles and lose fat just in that one spot, and that includes #belly fat. If there's a product or pill that promises otherwise, it's a scam, straight up. To lose stomach fat, you need to change your diet and#exercise habits, all over. It's that simple. Truly!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
<b>13. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER BEFORE YOU EAT</b></h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
If you're thirsty, you're going to eat more. Isn't that strange? But it's true. So before you sit down to eat, drink a glass of cool water, wait a few minutes, then dish out your sensible portion and begin to eat. Much better! You'll be surprised at how effective this way to lose#stomach fat is. Give it a try!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
14. EAT 5 SMALL MEALS A DAY TO LOSE STOMACH FAT FAST</h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<img height="400" src="http://img.allw.mn/content/2013/11/21180750_1697.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
Rather than eating three large meals every day, switch to five smaller meals: a light breakfast, a mid-morning snack, a light lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, and a balanced dinner. Smaller portions more often will keep you from feeling hungry. And by the way, when I say "snack," of course I mean something healthful, not a Twinkie! This way to lose #stomach fat does not require a lot of sacrifice, all you need to do is figure out a schedule for your meals. With #time, you'll be surprised at how eating 5 meals a day will become your new healthy lifestyle habit.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
</h2>
<h2>
15. GIVE YOURSELF 20 MINUTES TO FEEL FULL AFTER THE MEAL</h2>
<h2>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
Did you know that it takes a few minutes for your tummy to realize it's full? That's why it's important to eat slowly and take little breaks between the courses. Otherwise, you'll end up over-eating, undoing all of the diet magic you accomplished that day, and that's not what you want if you need to lose that #stomach fat fast.</div>

Try this: pour what you think is one serving of cold cereal into a bowl, then measure it against what the side of the box says is a serving. Most of us pour double the suggested serving size! And worse, restaurants tend to serve more than twice the serving size, especially in meat and in fats. A serving of meat ought to be about the size of a deck of cards. Most restaurants serve a portion of chicken or beef that's at least twice that — be sure you know what a serving size looks like, and save the rest for left-overs.</span></div>

I know I sound like a broken record, but if you don't exercise regularly, you'll never lose #belly fat. One of the #best ways to exercise, and the most fun this summer, is to swim! The water resistance provides superb low-impact for joints and muscles, and it's fantastic cardio, too! Anyone can do it... try it and you won't believe how much more toned your belly will be!</div>

Even the foods that are supposed to be designed for dieters can be loaded with nasty chemicals and even far more #calories than we need. Always check the labels on the food and drinks you're about to have — and again, make sure you know what a serving size is! It's crucial for losing #stomach fat fast.</div>

Your doctor, personal trainer, and plastic surgeon should NOT be last resorts in your efforts to lose #belly fat. Before starting ANY #exercise regimen or diet plan, see your doctor, especially if you're diabetic or if you have had an eating disorder in the past. And a personal trainer can be a friend indeed in your battle against the belly bulge — they know even more tips and tricks than I do, and they're always willing to help! And once you lose #weight, you might still want to tighten things up (loose skin), and that's where a plastic surgeon can help.</div>
