• Avoid simple sugars and processed or refined carbohydrates as this is a contributing factor for large belly. Choose healthy options like whole cereals grains and its products, sprouts, pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables, skimmed milk, low-fat yoghurt, egg white and fish. Cut down on other junk foods, fried or oily preparations, carbonated beverages, sweetened drinks, colas and sodas.
• Eating salads is a healthy option, but don't replace your meals only with salads, and be careful with salad dressings like mayonnaise that is high in fat.
• The most important nutrient that is always forgotten is water. Drink sufficient water daily to keep yourself well hydrated.
• Keep in mind ‘fat free' or ‘sugar free' products do not mean calorie free. Read the food labels carefully before any food item you consume.
