Top 5 tips for a flat belly- from a post menopause 58 year old who’s had two c-sections PRIORITIZE PROTEIN Build your meals around protein dense foods like lean beef, poultry, fish and eggs. Aim for 30+ grams per meal to activate muscle protein synthesis. (I personally go higher!) Fill in with colorful fruits and veggies CUT THE CRAPPY PROCESSED CARBS They’re not doing you any favors! I’m not saying you can’t have carbs- I love sweet potatoes, fruit and sometimes a baked white potato. BANISH THE BLOAT Sometimes even healthy foods make us bloated. Anything that is giving you gas is hard for you to digest. Common culprits are grains (big one for me), dairy, and even cruciferous veggies. HYDRATE BETWEEN MEALS Consume most of your fluids (hopefully water!) between meals. Chew food thoroughly rather than “washing it down” with a lot of liquid. This will improve digestion and cut back on bloating. PLANKS ARE BETTER THAN SPANX Planks are an amazing move for the core. When you develop those muscles it’s like having built in shape wear! I do about 10 minutes of resistance training every day using a balance trainer. Planks are always a part of it. Also please note- I am NOT throwing shade on tummy tucks, liposuction or HRT. Just saying I haven’t done that. xoxo Elizabeth LTKOver40 LTKActive LTKSwim
