How to Make My Waistline Thinner

A thinner waistline can improve your self-confidence and completely transform the way you look in certain outfits. Poor eating habits and lack of activity can cause weight to settle in the abdomen and increase the size of your waistline. Fortunately, it's possible to get rid of extra weight in this area of your body. Recognizing the cause of extra weight helps, as does eliminating from your diet certain things that can cause bloating.

Instructions

• 1

  Exercise to reduce weight around your waistline. Get into a fitness routine and do cardiovascular workouts like jogging, power walking and aerobics to maintain a healthy weight and trim your stomach

• 2

  Define the muscles in your abdomen. Add core exercises to speed your efforts and achieve a toned stomach. Sit-ups, Pilates exercises, yoga and Latin dances include moves to strengthen the core muscles.

• 3

  Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. The fiber in fruits and vegetables reduce constipation, which can fight bloating associated with a larger waistline. Snack on these healthy selections to overcome hunger and cravings.

• 4

  Pick lean meats, low-fat foods and fewer carbohydrates. Reduce weight in the waistline with low-fat meat selections like salmon and turkey. Eat simple carbs (pasta, bread and rice) in moderation to avoid putting on extra weight.

• 5

  Watch out for milk and carbonation. Dairy in milk products can cause bloating and a larger abdomen in people who can't easily digest lactose, and the carbonation from soda can also induce bloating and gas.

• 6

  Remove water weight from the stomach. Too much sodium in your diet and not enough water can increase your waistline. Get a smaller waistline by upping your intake of water to reverse fluid retention. Drink about 64 ounces of water a day.
