Good News! You can Flatten Your Belly Fast
A little pooch is normal. Still, no woman likes to feel bloated – and you don’t have to! Make these easy tweaks and reveal your body’s sexiest tummy (in days not weeks).
A flatter belly: It’s the body change readers tell us they want most. To that we must first say that every woman is not meant to sport a six-pack or have an ultra-flat stomach; if you’re not a marathoner, a personal trainer or Kelly Ripa, chances are you’ve got at least a little padding there. It’s normal, natural, necessary – not having enough body fat can lead to irregular periods and infertility – and from what guys tell us, sexy too. That said, there are some sneaky everyday habits that can make your tummy bigger than it need to be. The best part? Correcting them doesn’t involve dieting! Here’s how to stop lamenting your abs and finally show them the love they deserve. (P.S. They have requested a new bikini)
First, Sip More Water“If your body is dehydrated, your cells actually hold on to more water from what you eat and drink,” meaning you gain water weight and puffiness, says New York City dietitian Marissa Lippert, R.D., author of The Cheater’s Diet. Plus, water promotes healthy digestion. (Translation: You won’t be gassy or backed up.) To reduce bloat, Lippert recommends that women sip 6 to 12 glasses a day, depending on their activity level and how hot it is outside – extra points if you squeeze half a lemon. ”It’s a favorite trick of mine,” says Lippert, who tells clients to drink a mug of hot water with lemon juice first thing in the morning. “It really jump-starts your metabolism and digestive system and, frankly, helps you go to the bathroom. Think about how you can clean your sink with a lemon. You can do the same with your insides.”mac cosmetics wholesale
Do Something Every Day to Relieve Stress
Stress has a way of magically making chocolate chip cookies leap up off the plate and into our mouths. But the nibbling isn’t the only problem: There’s evidence that stress in and of itself can lead to developing excess belly fat. Although experts aren’t sure how, the stress hormone cortisol may cause your body to store more fat cells around your waist. To help slash stress, try deep-breathing exercises or meditation – both of which have profound positive effects, research shows. (You can get free guided sessions at meditationoasis.com) mac make up
Eat a Little Fat Every Day
Many women make the mistake of nixing all fat from their diets in the hope of losing weight and shrinking their waistline. “We’ve done research that shows that when women go on a virtually nonfat diet, they lose enzymes that help them digest fat.” says David Heber, M.D., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California, Los Angeles. That causes trouble when you do fall off the wagon (and you know you will); go out for Mexican food one Saturday night and you’ll wind up bloated. The remedy? You’ve heard it before because it works: moderation. The healthiest diet is one that contains a little bit of everything, including fat, says Lippert. If you’ve been attempting to live fat-free, she suggests that you slowly add some health fats into your diet – say, a few slices of avocado on your sandwich, or a tablespoon of oil and vinegar dressing on your salad instead of nonfat ranch. That will ease digestion and help your belly naturally deflate. Plus you’ll be more satisfied and less prone to an enchilada attack in the first place.
Tweak the Way You Breathe (Yes, Breathe!)
“I see a lot of women inhaling and exhaling through their belly, meaning that instead of letting the rib cage expand and contract when they breathe, their abdomen is filling up like a balloon,” says Pilates expert Brooke Siler, owner of re:AB studio in New York City. “The ultimate effect can be a distended look.” To train yourself to breathe properly, Siler suggests lying on your stomach with a rolled-up towel place horizontally under your belly button, then breathing deeply. This prevents you from pushing your stomach out when you inhale. It will help you connect with how it feels to correctly expand your rib cage and bring air into every part of your lungs, she says. She recommends practicing this for 5 to 10 minutes a day – before long, it’ll become second nature. Tummy-flattening bonus: This exercise also relieves stress, Siler says. mac wholesale
Get at Least Seven Hours of Sleep a Night
By now, almost every bleary-eyed girl in line at her local espresso-rama knows that not getting enough rest can have all sorts of negative health consequences, including weight gain. Lack of slepp, for those too foggy to recall, throws the production of hormones leptin and ghrelin out of whack, which makes you hungrier and more prone to overeating. “We see changes in these hormone levels after just two days of reduced sleep,” says Sanjay Patel, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.discount mac cosmetics
Cut Back on Artificial Sweeteners“I see a lot of women with sensitive digestive systems who just can’t process artificial sweeteners in things like sugar-free gum, candy and diet drinks,” says Lippert. “Our bodies don’t recognize aspartame and sucralose (Splenda) as food, so our digestive systems don’t know how to break them down.” If you notice that you get gassy or need to go to the bathroom more on days you consume these fake sugars, you may be sensitive to them. The best fix for that is to cut them out, Lippert says. “If you can’t quit cold turkey try weaning yourself off them for one to two weeks until they’ve completely vanished from your diet,” she recommends. You might also consider nixing carbonated drinks – the fizz alone can bloat your belly, says Lippert. (Those bubbles are, after all, gas.) Drinking from a straw can compound the problem, by causing you to swallow excess air with your Diet whatever. If you’re feeling puffy, have some belly shrinking water with lemon instead.
Stand Up Straight mac eyeshadow
Your mom was right: Posture counts, big-time. Slouching pushes your hips and belly forward, making your body look heavier and your stomach appear poochier they really are. What’s more, slouching can even undo some of the benefit you get from workouts, says Pete McCall, an exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise. Think about it: How much time do you spend hunched over at your desk or in your car? Now compare that to the amount you spend on doing core-strengthening exercises. “It’s like getting a great workout and then stopping at Dunkin Donuts on the way home for a dozen Boston cream. You’re sending two different signals to your body,” McCall says. Sitting up straight or maintain good posture – that means shoulders back and down, belly button in and up, chin very slightly tucked – you must constantly engage your core. “It’s a better way to cinch your waist than a lot of the messy sit-ups I see people doing,” he adds. Try sitting on the edge of your chair at work, at school or at home to discourage hunching, he suggests. Or download an application for your computer or smart phone like ProdMe, which will pink you every hour or so with a reminder to straighten up. Truly flatter abs in an instant!

Sleeping Beauty
Anyone who has ever taken the red-eye knows how important a good night’s sleep is to feeling beautiful. Cellular repair takes places while we sleep, resulting in smoother; more radiant skin. When we are sleep-deprived, our skin takes on a pasty, puffy and more wrinkled appearance. During a good night of sleep (eight hours is ideal), the cells in your body do many amazing things, such as secrete growth hormone, which helps repair and rebuild muscle and bone and increase the production of proteins (needed for cell growth and to repair and rebuild muscle and bone and increase the production of proteins (needed for cell growth and to repair damage from stress and the sun). Another reason to get your zzzs is because that’s when your skincare treatment products do what they’re supposed to. The skin’s permeability also increases during sleep. Thus, the benefits of topical antioxidants increase, giving new meaning to the term ‘beauty sleep’.mac cosmetics wholesale
Wisdom Tip: “Cleaning your face before you go to sleep is so important because not only are you removing makeup, but you are also washing off any harmful pollutants that may have landed on your skin throughout the day.”
- Dr. Howard Murad
Sleeping Tips from the Beauty Experts
•“Avoid any activities that have bright lights shining in your face, such as watching TV or working on the computer, at least an hour before going to sleep. Bright lights suppress the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that is a natural sleep inducer.” – Dr. Perricone mac cosmetics supplier•“If I follow this breathing technique, I am generally asleep in five minutes: Breathe in at a count of four and breath out at a count of four, in a way that’s very rhythmic, so when you are switching from breathing in to breathing out, you are never holding your breath. This enables a steady flow of oxygen into the body and sends a message to the nervous system that you are in a relaxed state.” – Sarah Kugelman
•“Keep the most boring book you can find on your nightstand and start reading it if you are having trouble falling asleep. I turn to car maintenance books – they put me right to sleep every time.” – Hana Zalzal discount mac cosmetics•“I can’t go to bed without smelling wonderful. At night, I do an Amazing Grace full-body scenting ritual. I take a bubble bath with the Amazing Grace Bath, Shampoo, and Shower Gel, moisturize with the body lotion, and then spray on the body oil. If I wake up in the middle of the night, all I have to do is smell my pajamas and I fall immediately back to sleep.” – Cristina Carlino
FYI: Smoke Alarm
When we inhale just one puff of a cigarette, over a trillion free radicals are produced in our lungs, which then trigger and inflammatory response that circulates throughout our body. Free radicals, the once healthy oxygen molecules that become overactive and unstable after losing an electron, attack DNA as they go about stealing electrons from the nearest stable and healthy cells in our body. Inhaling tobacco causes a tremendous inflammatory response in all organs of the body – including the skin. Cigarette smoking depletes the skin of oxygen and vital nutrients including vitamin C, which is critical in keeping skin youthful, moist, and plumped up.mac cosmeticsSmoking can also lower estrogen levels in women; estrogen keeps the skin plump and increases collagen production. And let’s not forget about the aging that occurs from the mechanical motions of smoking. The puckering of the lips during smoking creates those smoker’s lines. Moral of the story: Don’t smoke! If you are a smoker, the best thing you can possibly do for your skin is to quit. Right now. Look at sets of twins in their fifties, one a smoker and one a nonsmoker. The smoker always looks twenty years older. Enough said.mac eyeshadow
FYI: Fight Free Radicals!
Unfortunately, banning contact with cigarette smoke from your life doesn’t remove all the danger of free radicals being introduced to the skin. Pollution, stress and other environmental factors also produce free radicals. The good news is you can protect yourself with antioxidants, which act like kryptonite to those damaging free radicals. Always wear an antioxidant-rich product underneath your sunscreen. Look for ingredients such as green tea, grape seed, and white tea –they act like a sponge, sucking up any free radical before they interact with the skin.

Beauty Questions, Answered
Q: I always get giant knots in my hair. Help me get them out!
Don’t reach for the scissors. Instead, grab a plastic brush if you have fine or medium hair, or a wide-tooth comb if you hair is thick, says Jasmine Mellis of NYC’s Shaggy Hair Studio. The trick is to apply conditioner to dry hair; then wiggle the tool from the ends up.
Q: Any trick for pulling off the metallic-polish trend?
Finger-bling is totally in now, says Angi Wingle, a CND manicurist. For a matchy finish, use a shade that almost blends in with your coloring – silver if you are fair, gold if you are medium or olive toned, copper if you are dark. It looked amazing on the Chanel couture runway. Or clash! It’s cool to wear the ‘wrong’ hue too.mac cosmetics wholesale
Q: I look like an alien when I do intense eye makeup. What’s the deal?
Celebs manage to make gobs of shadow look human. Here is how: Apply deep shades to lids only (not above the crease); then use your fingers to smudge off a little color in the center so it’s not as dark in that spot, says MAC makeup artist Romero Jennings.
Beauty Tips
Decorate your hair-dryer. At NYC’s Sahag Workshop, they used nail polish to paint flowers, dots and stripes on their blow dryers.
Highlight your brows – it’s flattering! Do little strokes with a pencil that matches the highlights in your hair.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand Sport Yellow Diamond Wedding Bands at MTV EMAs
Despite the paparazzi's best efforts, Katy Perry and Russell Brand somehow managed to keep their lavish wedding ceremony in Jaipur, India private last month.
