  Instead have small meals at frequent intervals.
• Eat slowly and chew each bite thoroughly take 20-25 minutes to finish your meal, that gives our body time to tell us that it is full before we've eaten more than we need.
• 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.
• Physical activity or exercise is a very important criterion to remain fit and lose weight. Just a simple brisk walk for 40-45 minutes or stretching exercises for lower body and belly will help.
