How To Get A Smaller Waist and Bigger Hips ‎(2017 Guide)

Having a curvaceous body is all the rage now and between the media and society, we can’t escape it.

Being skinny is so yesterday and the new look is figure, shape and big curves. Sat bye bye to Kate Moss and hello Kim, Nikki, Rihanna and Queen Bey.

So to all fellow ladies living with the times, you don’t really need to gain weight from fat to have more curves.

It is almost the opposite actually. Not everyone has the same body type so it’s different for some hence my use of “almost”.

If you are very skinny with little to no belly fat then this isn’t for you. Your waistline may already be at its thinnest point.

So trying to be any thinner would only lead to muscle loss of other curves you may have.

If your current body fat is 35% – 40%, you are able to accentuate and emphasize your curves while making your butt appear bigger by simply losing some weight from your belly.

That’s right, you can get a bigger butt while losing weight.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror for a minute, see how much more prominent your butt would be if your waistline just went in an inch or two?

How to make your waist smaller without losing inches from your butt and hips?

With proper diet and exercise. Take a moment to think about it, a nice big butt, well-shaped hips and a smaller waist, a dream come true, well you are not dreaming because these goals are achievable in real life.

To get a smaller waist here are some changes that you need to make

1. Be ready to change/modify your diet.

• Achieving a smaller waist requires weight loss that can’t be attained with only exercise. You must be willing to keep a healthy diet and cut your calorie intake if you wish to truly see results. You can research how to calculate the proper daily calorie intake you will need.

• Discipline and determination will be required from you. As well as reducing your daily calorie intake, there are a few smart food changes you can make to help, specifically, with reducing your waistline.

2. Start your day with a big healthy breakfast

• You should try having a combination of high vitamin fruits, eggs for protein and wholegrain breads or cereals for the perfectly balanced breakfast. When on the go, just grab a cereal bar or fruit smoothie since they are convenient, filling and healthy.

• Try to drink a glass of water before every meal during the day breakfast included, as this keeps your body from overeating and keeps you hydrated.

3. Add more fiber to your diet

• Incorporate a variety of foods high in fiber into your diet, so as to reap the benefits of both insoluble and soluble fibers. Some soluble fibers are barley and oats, citrus fruits and carrots, peas and beans, apples. Insoluble fibers include nuts, beans and green vegetables, wheat bran and foods containing whole-wheat.

4. Eat healthy fats

• Polyunsaturated fats – like Omega-3 fatty acids which can be found in canola oil, tofu, walnuts, herring, salmon, and mackerel – are additional healthy fats you could include in your diet. They aid in lowering bad cholesterol and to boost brain functions.

• Trans fats though, (found in cookies, crackers, margarine – any food made using partially hydrogenated oils) causes more fat to be left in the abdomen, so avoid these fats as best as you can.

THIS UPPER BODY WORKOUT IS PERFECT

how to get a smaller waist much more faster!

Avoid low-rise jeans

Wearing low-rise jeans when you have a little weight around the middle can be very unflattering as it creates the muffin top look.

The alternative to these jeans would be the high waist jeans which covers the excess fat on the waist, hips and give the effect of a smaller waist line.

These jeans can definitely be very flattering when worn with a shirt tucked in.

Wear body-shaping undergarments

Selecting the correct under garments can really show a reduction in your waistline.

Lingerie stores that carry top line undergarments usually carry those that are designed to support and smooth out your figure underneath.

You can opt to try shapewear, they have been found to be quite effective.

Corsets

These another option you can go for. Centuries ago, these lingerie were worn under gowns of women of almost all age group as a figure enhancer, fast forward to the 21^st century and corsets have recently gained renewed popularity for providing a seamless sexy silhouette, both on its own and under clothes.

The steel-boned corsets (don’t let the name frighten you, they aren’t painful – honestly!) are better at cinching your waistline, and can really permanently reduce your waist size with prolonged wear!

When choosing a corset, go for 4 – 5 inches (10.2–12.7 cm) smaller than your original waist size.

Here’s an example, if your waist is 26 inches currently then you can opt for a size 20 or 21 inch corset. It is better for beginners to go for a 4 inch than a 5 inch difference though.

To know your waist size you just need to stand before a mirror with a measuring tape wound around the narrowest part of your waist, which is usually an inch or so above your belly button.

Even if you are the fittest girl around, you will still look like you have a muffin top if you wear jeans that are too small for you.

Take care when shopping for clothes, especially jeans.

If you’re not sure what your size is then take a friend with you who won’t be afraid to give their honest opinion or you can ask a store clerk to help you with the fitting.

Opt for European sizing preferably, which are usually less fickle and more honest than US sizing. It’s great to be able to show off your slim waist in jeans that actually fits!

Wear waist-cinching belts

By wearing waist-cinching belts, you are leading all attention to the nip in your waistline making it appear smaller than it really is.

They are great to wear over long tops, dresses and even winter coats as they accentuate the bust and causes a flare around the hips giving the illusion of an hour glass figure.

Your choice of belt can vary from braided, skinny, wide, jeweled, and the list is limitless!

Wear A-line dresses

A-line dresses are tight or narrow at the waistline but flares gradually as it extends towards the hem.

This makes the waistline seem really smaller as that’s where more of the emphasis is, while just gliding over any imperfections, if any, that the wearer may have around the hips and thighs.

A-line dresses are perfect for almost any body shape.

Avoid carbonated drinks and excess sodium

A very easy way to avoid excess salt is to reduce your consumption of processed, packaged foods as much as possible.

Excess sodium makes your body retain water and become swollen.

If you aim to get a tight, toned midsection, a well-balanced diet is very effective and has tons of benefits such as reducing the retention of water weight and keeping you at a healthy weight in the long run.

Getting a Bigger Booty and Losing Belly Fat is Possible!
