Forget the fat pants! With these belly-blasting tricks, you’ll be back in your favorite clothes in no time.

Eat less at night. Your metabolism slows during the day, so the goal is to consume two-thirds of your daily calories before dinner. Then, for your evening meal, eat lightly and skip dessert.
Lift a little weight. Researchers track 164 women and found that those who lifted weights for an hour twice a week lost 15 percent more abdominal fat than those who didn’t. They also cut their total body fat by almost 4 percent.
Add seasoning – not salt. The more sodium in your diet, the more bloating in your belly. The American heart association estimates that you can cut your sodium intake by 30 percent simply by putting your shaker out of reach. Worried that your food will taste bland? Garnish with herbs, spices, and citrus juices instead.
Snooze it off. Sleepless nights means stressful days, which can lead to emotional-eating binges. What’s more, researchers tracked 12 healthy males and found that those who got only 4 hours of rest at night had a 23 percent increase in appetite. So, strive for at least 7 hours of sleep at night.
