5.Don’t Blame Beer
Beer often takes the rap for a tubby tummy — hence the term «beer belly.» Studies suggest it’s a bit more complicated than that, though. The foamy stuff has plenty of calories. So it might make you gain weight. But it doesn’t necessarily make the fat settle around your middle. A more likely culprit? Sodas and other sweetened drinks. Some research has suggested that sugar can boost belly fat.
6.Swap Soda for Green Tea
To trim belly fat, be smart about your diet — eat sensible portions, lots of veggies, and little junk food. And instead of soda, consider green tea. A few studies have suggested that catechins, antioxidants found in green tea, might help (a little) to burn visceral fat. The results are far from certain. But one thing is clear: Subbing tea for sugary drinks will save calories. Just don’t load it up with honey or sugar.
