Attractive Flat Belly: 13 Common Mistakes Women Make
Flat Belly are truly attractive, not only to ladies but to men as well. There are some common mistakes that women make which are not making their attractive flat belly dream come true. Some of the mistakes are discussed below;
Eating Too Much Salt
Too much sodium can lead to big-time belly bloating and there’s a good chance you are already getting far more than you need. (Psst! Trying to de-bloat?

Focus on consuming more whole foods or foods lower in sodium,” contributes Miller. “Read the Nutrition Facts label to find how much sodium is in each serving of the food or beverage. Very Low Sodium is 35 milligrams or less per serving; Low-Sodium is 140 milligrams or less per serving; Reduced (or less) sodium is at least 25 percent less sodium per serving than the usual sodium level.”
Drinking Soda Instead of Tea
Drinking soda is not good for the tummy, according to new research in The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse. “Sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda, sweetened coffee or tea, and fruit juice, can lead to excess calorie consumption and weight gain, specifically in the abdominal area,” explains Alexandra Miller, RDN, LDN, Corporate Dietitian at Medifast. “Instead of having fruit juice, have plain water infused with fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
Eating Too Much Meat
Eating a whole lot of meat is a very bad idea for attractive flat belly. In fact, did you see that Veganism Was Found to Be the Best Diet for Weight Loss? “Higher meat consumption has been positively associated with a higher daily calorie intake, BMI, waist circumference, and obesity and central obesity,” shares Miller. “Diets largely based on plant foods offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants. Instead of having meat, like beef or pork, with every meal, try having more plant-based foods, like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes,” she adds.
Eating Same Thing Every time
“Many women eat the same breakfasts, lunches, and dinners repeatedly. Eating the same foods over and over lowers your metabolic rate and prevents probiotic diversity,” Dr. Tasneem Bhatia, MD, also known as “Dr.Taz,” a weight loss expert and author of What Doctors Eat and The 21-Day Belly Fix. “Food diversity improves your metabolic rate since your gastrointestinal system is challenged by change and given a new set of probiotics with each new food.”
Drinking Too Much Wine
“The recommended alcohol consumption for women is one glass per day, with good reason. Each glass has roughly 120 calories, and your body burns calories from alcohol first to get it out of your system as fast as possible. That means any calories you consume from food get put on the back-burner, making it harder to shed unwanted pounds,” she explains.
Eating Only Egg White
It might be your brunch and breakfast go-to, but there’s reason to give the silky, golden yolks some love “Egg yolks are a source of Vitamin D (a vitamin most Americans do not eat enough of). Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to abdominal obesity. Also, the (healthy) fat within the yolks will help you feel fuller longer and less likely to overeat later in the day,” offers nutritionist Kayleen St. John, RD at Natural Gourmet Institute, a health-supportive cooking school in New York City.
