DOLCE DIET LIFESTYLE:
\nFlat Tummy Secrets<\/h2>\n

by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD<\/h4>\n

Foods to Eat<\/h3>\n

Pineapple<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tFilled with potassium to reduce bloating, but also contains bromelain, a digestive enzyme that helps digest proteins.
\nBlueberries<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tThere have been several studies linked to blueberry intake and the ability to prevent the growth of belly fat. Plus they are antioxidant-rich and an easy way to bulk up breakfast.
\nCoconut Oil<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tFilled with good fats, which will help reduce inflammation, coconut oil is a great topical to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and soften the skin.

Foods to Avoid<\/h3>\n

Excessive Carbs<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tWe all need carbs, but if we eat more than we need, the excess will be stored as fat (this is after glucose has been transported to the cells for fuel and then to the liver and muscle for glycogen storage). Avoid simple sugars (other than fruit) and highly-processed, refined carbs.
\nExcessive Salt<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tToo much salt causes water retention and bloating. Avoid adding salt to your meals if possible. A little bit during preparation is ok, but don\u2019t overdo it.
\nSugar Substitutes<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tThese tend to cause bloating, abdominal discomfort, GI upset and diarrhea.

Best Exercises<\/h3>\n

Plank<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tStart lying down on your stomach with forearms on the floor and palms flat.
\n\u2022\tPush up, raising onto your toes and elbows.
\n\u2022\tBe sure to maintain a straight back and don\u2019t let your butt get too high.
\n\u2022\tHold for 20-60 seconds.
\nLeg Raises<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tUsing a Captain\u2019s Chair at the gym, grip the handles, and press your back against the pad.
\n\u2022\tContract your abs and lift your knees toward your chest.
\n\u2022\tSlowly lower and repeat for 3 sets of 10.
\nExercise Ball Crunch<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tStart lying with your back centered on an exercise ball, with feet planted on the floor, hands interlocked behind your head.
\n\u2022\tAs you sit up, work to keep the ball stable. Start off slowly so the ball doesn\u2019t slip out from underneath you.
\n\u2022\tRepeat for 3 sets of 10.<\/p>\n
