Metabolism-Boosting Core Workout

This ab workout [2] does double-duty in the flat-belly department: not only does it target your core to help define ab muscles, but it also builds muscles all over your body, which helps rev up your metabolism to burn more calories throughout the day.

Quinoa Cabbage Salad

Don't be put off by the "salad" description; this warm, wilted cabbage and quinoa dish makes a light, comforting dinner that soothes tummy issues. Each ingredient helps digestion, and the fiber in the chickpeas, cabbage, and quinoa will help you debloat. If you'd like, add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy element and a dose of belly-helping probiotics. Get the recipe for lemony quinoa cabbage here [4].
