Yes, of course exercising and eating right will help.  But there are other things you can do as well!

Quit Smoking

Smokers sport more deep-abdominal fat than nonsmokers, according to research from the Netherlands. 

Empire Waists

For most women, the thinnest body part is just below the bust so emphasize it.

Avoid Beer

Beer drinkers sport higher waist-to-hip ratios than wine drinkers do, according to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology that looked at people who imbibe more than six drinks per week.

Get Happy

Depression is linked to deep-belly fat, a study in the journal Obesity reports. Make time to do what you enjoy, and talk to your doc if youíre feeling down. 

Better Undergarments

The proper fit will lift the girls and give you a longer, leaner look, so get professionally fitted.

Try Midrise

Wear low-rise denim and you risk a muffin top. Choose a midrise with a wide waistband instead.

And that's not all!  Get the full list here.
