12 weeks. This week your baby's reflexes kick in: His fingers will soon begin to open and close, toes will curl, and his mouth will make sucking movements. He'll feel it if you gently poke your tummy â though you won't feel his movements yet. Your baby is the size of a lime.
Throw beans in soups, stews and salads to melt away belly fat. Beans are rich in fiber and protein, a potent hunger-preventing combination that helps keep your energy levels balanced longer. Opt for black or pinto beans. Avoid refried beans as they are loaded with saturated fat, causing your belly to expand, not shrink.
Get more fiber in your diet. Soluble fiber (such as that found in apples, oats, and cherries) lowers insulin levels which can speed up the burning of visceral belly fat. 1  Add fiber to your diet slowly. 2  If you are currently getting 10g of fiber a day, don't jump to 35g of fiber the next day.
