Deprivation of sleep can cause weight gain. When a person doesn&#8217;t get enough sleep, their appetite and hunger increase (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/15583226\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Adult human body functions best after 7-9 hours of sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_Smaller_Plates\"><\/span><b>2. Use Smaller Plates<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller plates make your portion look bigger, whereas large plates make it look smaller. Eating from a smaller dinnerware may trick your brain into thinking that you are eating a bigger amount of food. Likewise, eating from a bigger plate, you are more prone to overeating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Avoid_Stressful_Situations\"><\/span><b>3. Avoid Stressful Situations<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress is overall harmful to human bodies. It can cause a lot of different diseases and accelerate weight gain. When a person feels stressed their body produces a stress hormone called cortisol, which in turn increases appetite. That is why a lot of people who are in constant stress are prone to binge eating. Therefore, if you want to flatten your belly, it is better to avoid stressful situations. If it is impossible, try to reduce the amount of stress by stress-relieving activities, such as meditation or yoga.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Add_Some_Physical_Activity_To_Your_Daily_Routine\"><\/span><b>4. Add Some Physical Activity To Your Daily Routine<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to fill those parts of the day when you are being &#8220;purposelessly static&#8221; with physical activity. It can be walking, fidgeting, moving around or even simply standing instead of sitting or lying (<a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/03\/20\/health\/exercise-gym-close-coronavirus-quarantine-wellness-jampolis\/index.html\">8<\/a>). If you live close to your workplace or school, or even a shop, take a walk instead of driving there in a car or by bus. If you usually use elevators, start taking the stairs. It may seem not important, but such small things may bring you closer to your goal (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/womens-health\/in-depth\/belly-fat\/art-20045809\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Try_Drinking_More_Water\"><\/span><b>5. Try Drinking More Water<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/water-challenge\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drinking water<\/a> is very helpful when a person wants to lose weight. Drinking a glass of water before every meal is a big step towards your goal. Water not only temporarily increases your metabolic rate but also makes you feel fuller, therefore, you end up eating less food. Another positive effect of water is that it increases your total energy expenditure by nearly 100 calories daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, to reach your goal and flatten your belly, you should combine a healthy nutrition plan, sets of various exercises and healthy habits.
