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.
The Flat Belly Diet has two phases, a four-day anti-bloat phase with specific foods and drinks, and a four-week eating plan during which you eat 1,600 calories a day. The Flat Belly Diet emphasizes eating foods that are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), which are purported to help you lose belly fat. Such foods include olive oil, nuts, seeds, soybeans and avocados. MUFAs are part of every meal on the Flat Belly Diet.
