Last minute tips for a slim waist

There is a celebration in the diary in a few days, but the dress does not fit quite as it should? Here are the tips for quickly disguising a few bulges for the perfect appearance.

At the New Year’s Eve party we naturally want to look good. A bloated stomach not only looks unattractive, it is also bad for your well-being. To prevent the annoying little belly we have a few tips here on how you can get rid of it in a natural way.

• Reduce carbohydrates & salt: both lead to increased storage of water in the tissue. So eat a protein-rich diet over the next few days. Ideally with plenty of fibre, such as vegetables and fruit.

• Exercise: an active lifestyle helps with hunger pangs, promotes the metabolism and digestion and active fat burning. Moderate endurance training such as jogging or cycling combined with light strength training is particularly good.

• Drink yourself beautiful: really no longer a secret - drinking helps to detoxify. It should be 2-3 litres daily, ideally unsweetened teas and water.

• Time for yourself: stress too can encourage a bloated stomach. Breathe deeply and take a little more time for yourself on the day before the event, for example with a relaxing bath or a good cup of tea and a book. Yoga or Pilates are also very relaxing. Eating hastily can lead to swallowing more air, so here too you should take care and enjoy your meals.

• Choose foods carefully: some foods such as cabbage and beans are better avoided now. It is better to eat easily digestible meals with plenty of protein on the day before and on the day of the event, such as lean meat and fish, soups, smoothies and steamed vegetables.

For anyone who, despite a conscious lifestyle and a healthy diet, struggles with small pads of fat, Dr. Ali Saalabian has the right treatments: Liposuction and CoolSculpting tackle problem areas in a targeted way and are extremely gentle in doing so.
