Daily Weight Loss Tips

A bloated stomach is usually the result of changes in your body’s balance of salt and hormones. Increased levels of salt lead to water retention which leads to bloating. Here’s a few ways to fix a boated stomach:

1. Reduce your salt intake
   Try not to add extra salt to your meals and always read the labels when at the supermarket. About one teaspoon (6 grams) of salt is recommended per day.
2. Eat potassium rich foods
   Foods like bananas and potatoes help flush out salt stored in your body
3. Drink more water
   It might sound strange, but drinking more water can help because if your body is dehydrated it will try to hold onto any water it has.
4. Try herbal duiretics
   Herbal diuretics like chamomile tea and hawthorn have known to be very effective. Foods like watermelon and celery also do a similar job.
5. Exercise regularly
   Yep, good ol’ exercise again! Exercising regularly will help boost your circulation.

So next time you get a bloated stomach, remember these tips!

If you like pizza, why not make your own at home? Instead of using thick calorie-laden bases you find in the supermarkets use Lebanese bread for the pizza base. Use tomato paste for the sauce. You can pile on plenty of healthy vegetables and some lean chicken, turkey or seafood to spice up the flavor. Use low fat cheese sparingly on the top.

If you’ve ever made a pizza like this you’ll know they’re delicious! Any they’re totally guilt free! Thanks to Rosie Commins for that tip via email. Submit your tip here.

I good weight loss tip I got from a friend of mine was to by a piece of what she called, goal clothing. This is a piece of clothing that you hang in an area of the house that you most often visit.

The idea is that you get motivation by looking at this piece of clothing. It’s a constant reminder of what your weight loss goals are.
