1. Milk

For some women with possible lactose intolerance, it ferments and puffs up the belly. In the diet, it is replaced by yogurt (preferably without lactose), which, in addition to being easier to digest, carries beneficial bacteria. They prevent and treat microbiota imbalance, which stimulates the smooth functioning of the intestine and improves nutrient absorption. With that, the waist thins.

2. Breads and pastas with white flour

Poor in fiber, they are considered villains of dry abdomen. The menu allows these foods only in the whole version (see how to prepare a whole grain pancake).

3. Beans

It can cause constipation and gas. If you can’t live without this grain, let it soak the day before preparation, in the fridge, changing the water several times. This softens the fibers and helps prevent gas formation.

4. Soda and beer

Soda gas dilates the stomach, as does sparkling water (see how to make your water taste better). Beer has hops, a substance used to ferment the drink and which is also heated.

5. Salt

In excess, it retains liquid and swells.

6. Sweetener

Based on sorbitol, it causes gas.

7. sweet

Be especially careful with preparations that have sugar and white flour. This duo ferments in the intestine and also gives gas.
