Go to Sleep Earlier

Lying flat on your back impacts belly fat. Insufficient sleep (<7 hrs) and late bedtimes (after 10pm) increase obesity risk, due to stress hormone effects.

Drink Wine (If You Must), Not Spirits

Beer/spirits = more visceral fat, wine = less. Alcohol is empty calories, so drink in moderation (2/day for men, 1/day for women) for weight loss.
