Drink Slender Pu'erh Tea
Victoria Beckham is reportedly a fan of this metabolism-boosting tea, which can help to reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs from food. Drink three cups a day for three months for best results. Pu'erh Tea costs £8.76 from www.victoriahealth.com.
Cut out salt
Salty foods encourage your body to retain water - which means you'll bloat. Cut out deli meats, cheese, crisps and processed foods – and don't add salt to your food.
Take digestive enzymes
If you suffer from bloating, then you might benefit from an enzyme supplement. Take one before meals to help your body break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Try Extrazyme 13, £19.95 from www.victoriahealth.com.
Boost your calcium intake
Research shows that three or four servings of low-fat calcium rich food each day can help your body to burn fat. So tuck into low-fat dairy products, dark leafy veg, oily fish, almonds and oats – or take a calcium supplement.
Eat oily fish
Studies show that eating oily fish – canned is fine – can help to balance blood sugar levels and reduce abdominal fat. If you're not a fan of fish, then try a fish oil supplement instead.
Choose soya
A daily serving of soya milk or yoghurt can help to reduce tummy fat. That's because soya contains compounds called isoflavones that help to regulate body fat metabolism – so order a soya latte to get your daily quota.
Eat prawns
Prawns are rich in magnesium – and if you're not getting enough of it you're more likely to suffer from sugar cravings. So add prawns to salad or stir fries to stop you reaching for the biscuit tin.
Yummie Tummie
As a last minute fix, slip into a Yummie Tummie vest, (www.net-a-porter.com £49.00). It looks like a normal vest, but has a tummy control panel to banish muffin top.
Start the day with hot water and lemon
Swap your morning cup of tea for a mug of hot water with a slice of lemon. This helps to flush out toxins and cleanse the digestive system.
Chilli
Chilli helps to speed up the metabolism, which means you burn more fat. So add it to stir fries, stews and casseroles to boost your fat-burning potential.
