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.
Pineapple is another belly-fat-fighting food since it contains an enzyme that helps ease digestion and banish bloat, making your belly look and feel flatter. High-fiber foods like pears, berries, veggies, beans, and whole grains have the same effect. Plus, they keep you feeling full longer, just like healthy fats, helping you consume fewer daily calories and reduce your overall body fat. Don't Lose Sight of Your Macros. You don't need to give up carbs and go crazy with a protein-only diet.
