* CUT THE ALCOHOL
Drinking beer is often the cause of a “beer belly”. Beer belly’s aren’t sexy on anyone. Alcohol is full of calories and can cause bloating. If you like drinking mixed drinks, the alcohol is often mixed with sugary drinks or juices, which help to contribute to an expanding waistline. Cut back or eliminate all alcoholic beverages.

* STOP EATING SUGARY FOODS
Foods full of sugar are just empty calories and can actually make you feel more hungry. Cut back or eliminate foods full of sugars.

* GET SOME EXERCISE
Another way to speed up the process of losing belly fat is to start or step up your current exercise routine. Just going for daily 30 minute walks can help your waistline. Routine exercise doesn’t have to feel like a chore and you don’t have to exercise for long periods of time either. Get yourself a pedometer and aim for taking 10,000 steps per day and you will see a dramatic difference in your look. You will have a sexier trimmer waist.
