Instant SLIMMING TRICKS

Overdone it already this summer? Beat the bloat overnight with these simple shortcuts

- 

It can be easy for weeks to fly by at this time of year when you’re out and about making the most of the warm weather, but that can also mean all those well-intentioned plans to shed unwanted pounds can quickly get forgotten about.

But don’t worry, small changes can have big results. Try these easy tricks to slim your silhouette and feel confident in your summer wardrobe.

Fake it

Dust the sides of your stomach with matte bronzer to give the illusion of a nipped-in waist. Make sure it’s waterproof so you don't give the game away with streaks!

Lie on your left side

This helps waste to move through the colon, encouraging a bowel movement and getting rid of that heaviness in your stomach. Make sure your head and shoulders are elevated too.

Brush your teeth earlier

Switching your oral hygiene routine to after your evening meal - instead of just before bed - will mean you'll be less likely to snack when sitting in front of the TV.

Apply heat

Using a hot-water bottle or heating pad on your stomach will help your muscles to relax, easing bloating and aiding digestion, giving you that desired flat tum.

Choose the right size

While many of us get hung up on the size on our clothing, squeezing into outfits that don't fit will only make you look bigger than you are. Choose comfortable, flattering items and forget what the label says!

Stop smoking

It can intensify poor sleep, so you're more likely to grab unhealthy choices the following day.
