When you're halfway through a pair of jeans and you simply know they're not going up without a fight. Or when you finally get them up, but walking feels like torture—and you can't bear the thought of sitting.

The best thing to do the next time this happens is to remove the troublesome pair and replace them with something more comfortable. (People, life is too short.) Then, like any reasonable woman, swiftly recollect the last time they were in the dryer. If it was recently, there you have it. Continue on and keep in mind the worth of a clothes brand.

But if it's been weeks since they've been washed, it might be time to try a different method and ditch the fat pants!

You'll be back in your favorite clothing in no time if you use these 12 belly-blasting tactics.

1. INCLUDE VEGGIES IN EVERY MEAL.

This suggestion is for you if you just eat vegetables at supper.

Include vegetables at every meal, including breakfast.

Make your porridge with mashed beans or a smoothie with cucumber.

To satisfy crunchy, salty cravings, go for carrot chips instead of manufactured carbohydrates like crackers.

2. INCLUDE PROTEIN, FIBER, AND HEALTHY FATS IN ALL OF YOUR MEALS.

This is the perfect trifecta for feeling full and content while also stabilizing blood sugar levels.

For fiber, choose lean meats, whole grains, veggies, and legumes, and for healthy fats, choose avocado, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.

3. EAT ONE MASSIVE SALAD AS A MEAL ONCE A DAY.

Whether it's a quinoa and black bean mason jar salad for lunch or a roasted butternut squash and kale salad for the night, eating a salad for one meal not only helps you get your fiber and veggies but also helps you lose or maintain weight because it's low in calories.

4. MAKE LUNCH YOUR MAIN MEAL.

Consuming more calories in the middle of the day rather than at breakfast or supper guarantees that you have ample time to burn off all of those calories.

Consider lunch to be around 40% of your entire daily calorie intake.

5. EAT UNTIL YOU'RE 80% FULL.

Let's get rid of the clean plate club! Instead of putting down your fork when your plate is empty, eat deliberately and pay attention to how your stomach feels so you may stop eating when you're content but not stuffed.

6. BECOME A VEGAN ONCE A WEEK.

Choose one day a week to go vegan to urge you to eat more vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nutritious grains.

By avoiding meat, dairy, and eggs, you will be able to focus on eating all of the plant-based foods that experts usually encourage us to consume more of.

7. SUBSTITUTE NATURAL SOURCES FOR ARTIFICIAL AND PROCESSED SWEETENERS.

According to studies, eating artificially sweetened meals and beverages makes you feel more hungry, causing you to consume more overall calories.

The more we eat refined white sugar, the more we desire it - sugar addiction is real!

Furthermore, research reveals that ingesting sugar actually accelerates the aging process and has been related to cancer, liver damage, heart failure, and other dangerous illnesses.

It might also cause bloating and cloudy thinking. Avoid the obvious offenders like sweets, pastries, and drinks, as well as processed meals, which contain a lot of hidden sugars.

When you're craving something sweet, reach for fresh or dried fruit or one of these healthy dessert recipes.

8. BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR MEAL PLANNING.

Choose one day every week to dedicate a few hours to planning, shopping, and preparing meals and snacks for the week.

You'll not only save time and money, but you'll be more likely to remain on track if you establish that aim for the week.

9. SET THE SALT SHAKER AWAY.

Too much salt not only raises your blood pressure, but it may also harm your organs and tissues and produce bloating, which makes you feel sluggish and uneasy.

Aim for no more than 2,400 mg of sodium per day (under 1,500 mg is much better) by avoiding processed foods rich in salt - check labels carefully because even bread, dressings, and sauces can contain excessive quantities.

And don't grab for the salt shaker habitually. Instead, use fresh herbs or garlic to season your cuisine. Choose unsalted nuts and seeds, as well as butter prepared from them.

10. TREAT YOURSELF ONCE A DAY.

Don't fully abstain from any foods. Denying yourself the bites you desire might backfire, making you feel deprived, which can lead to bingeing and depression.

So make a point of rewarding yourself and satisfying your desires by giving yourself a tiny treat every day, such as a square of dark chocolate or a small glass of wine.

11. WALK FOR 30 MINUTES EVERY DAY.

Make it a habit to go for a vigorous 30-minute walk every day, rain or shine.

You may do it after supper, before dinner, or whenever you choose, but you must walk for the entire 30 minutes.

According to recent research, a group of women who walked for 30 minutes a day for two weeks lost 15% more weight than another group of women who were on the same diet but did not exercise at all.

12. HAVE ON-TOP-OF-HIM SEX EVERY NIGHT.

Sex burns calories.

Experts believe that 30 minutes of intercourse burns between 85 and 150 calories.

If you have sex frequently enough, those calories might mount up.

And who doesn't like the concept of using sex to work out?

Think about it: you can have fun, experience orgasms, burn calories, and get in shape all at the same time. Perfect!
