You’ve seen hundreds of tips for getting a flatter stomach and reducing cellulite, and you’re not sure which ones are actually worth following? Don’t worry — we’re breaking down the best daily habits to help you achieve a smooth, toned tummy, free from dimples!
Good food habits for a flatter stomach
Some foods are known to help us digest better, flatten the stomach and reduce cellulite. These include apples, avocados, brown rice, pineapple and cinnamon. Feel free to incorporate these into your meals on a regular basis!
While these foods can be enjoyed (almost) freely, others are best kept to a minimum if you want a flatter stomach. Artichokes, onions, cabbage, mushrooms, aubergines, green peppers, mangoes, peaches, pears, apricots, cherries, dried beans, chickpeas, split peas and flageolet beans can all slow down digestion and cause a bloated feeling. These fermentable foods are harder to digest for our digestive system. Once in the intestine, they absorb water, swell and ferment — producing gas and that uncomfortable bloated sensation.
If you tend to feel bloated after meals, think about adjusting how you prepare your food. For example, try cutting ingredients into smaller pieces and opt for cooked fruits and vegetables over raw ones. Pay attention to cooking methods too — choose light, fat-free options such as steaming, oven-baking or cooking en papillote. These approaches will help you slim your stomach and reduce cellulite by limiting unnecessary fat storage.
To help eliminate fat and cellulite around the stomach area, cutting back on refined sugars is a smart move. Refined sugar encourages the body to store fat — particularly around the waist, stomach and hips. If a flatter stomach is your goal, swap white sugar for unrefined alternatives or honey.
For a flatter stomach, staying well hydrated is essential. Good hydration supports healthy digestion. Still water is excellent, but it’s even more effective to reach for anti-cellulite and detox herbal teas.
Good exercise habits for a flatter stomach
While diet plays the biggest role in flattening your stomach and reducing cellulite, there are also some great exercise habits worth building into your routine.
Ideally, aim for 5 workout sessions per week, alternating between cardio and strength training. Cardio helps burn fat — including the stubborn belly fat responsible for those unwanted dimples — while strength training tones your abdominal muscles. And you don’t need to do endless targeted ab exercises to see results! By working your whole body, you’ll engage your core without even realising it. You can also add 5 minutes of planking at the end of each session — a highly effective habit for a flatter stomach and smoother skin.
Don’t be afraid to mix up your activities — all forms of exercise will help you achieve a flatter stomach. Did you know, for example, that yoga is great for working the core, refining your silhouette and reducing cellulite?
