Then you need to work on getting rid of that paunch. Here are a few tips that will help get you started on getting those amazing abs. Take a look.

Carbohydrates are the leading cause of all that fat stored in your body. Try to avoid consuming foods that are rich in sugars and starches. So, foods like bread, rice, sweets, packed fruit juice, yoghurt, beans, potatoes, corn, soda etc all need to be cut down on. Make sure that you eat food in limited portions and don't overdo things.

If you're feeling stressed or anxious all the time, you're bound to eat things to make yourself feel better. Try to opt for activities that can help make you feel calm like meditating, yoga or swimming. You could even opt for dancing or just take your dog for long walks instead. The clearer your mind is, the better your body will be too.

One of the most important things when it comes to losing weight is to stay hydrated. You need to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Not only will it keep you refreshed and flush out all the toxins from your body but it will also help you stay more active and focused.

Now, that you'll have to cut down on carbs, you'll need to make up for all that lost energy with proteins. Try to opt for baked or grilled chicken and fish, skimmed milk, boiled eggs and steamed vegetables. Tofu, lentils and beans will also work.
