Cut back on high-calorie and sugary alcoholic beverages like beer, cocktails, and mixed drinks. Opt for lighter options such as wine or spirits with low-calorie mixers.
Consider light or low-carb beers, which typically have fewer calories and carbohydrates than regular beers.
Stick to recommended moderate drinking guidelines. In the United States, this typically means up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day and between alcoholic drinks to help control your appetite and reduce the chances of overindulging.
Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Engage in regular exercise to help burn calories and reduce abdominal fat. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.
High stress levels can lead to overeating and weight gain. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing, or mindfulness to help control your stress levels.
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Poor sleep can disrupt your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight.
