For most people, carbohydrates should be a part of a balanced diet. A common recommendation is that carbohydrates should make up about 45% to 65% of your total daily caloric intake.
Minimize the intake of sugary beverages, sweets, and processed foods with added sugars.
Protein helps in muscle maintenance and may reduce overall calorie intake by increasing feelings of fullness.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support metabolism and help control appetite.
High stress levels can lead to overeating and weight gain, especially around the abdominal area.
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night as inadequate sleep can lead to weight gain and increased belly fat.
Incorporate core-strengthening exercises like planks, crunches, and leg raises to target abdominal muscles.
