Tired of constant bloating and stubborn belly fat? Dietitian Sakina Mustansir reveals three simple tips to help you get a flatter stomach in just two weeks.
These tips can help reduce bloating, support digestion, and trim your waistline.
Most of us dream of having a flatter, toned tummy, but bloating, poor digestion, and late-night eating may sometimes make that goal feel far away. Between long work hours, unhealthy snacking, and confusing diet trends, it is easy to lose track of what really works.
But according to dietitian and weight-loss coach Sakina Mustansir, simple changes in your daily routine can make a noticeable difference in just two weeks.
In a recent Instagram post, Sakina shared three easy habits that can reduce bloating, support digestion, and help trim your waistline; no crash diets or fancy supplements needed. Her practical approach focuses on timing, movement, and a simple homemade drink that soothes your stomach naturally.
Finish Dinner Early For Better Digestion
Sakina’s first piece of advice is to finish dinner by 7 PM and avoid eating carbs at night. “Make sure your dinner ends by 7 PM and avoid carbs for dinner,” she says. “This helps regulate your fat-storage hormones and supports better overnight digestion,” she adds.
According to her, eating early allows your body to rest and digest properly, preventing gas, heaviness, and discomfort in the morning. Skipping heavy carbs at night also helps keep insulin levels stable, reducing fat buildup around the midsection.
Take A Short Walk After Dinner
The second step is simple: take a 20-minute light walk after dinner. “A light 20-minute walk after dinner can stabilise your blood sugar and curb late-night cravings,” Sakina explains.
This small effort helps burn off some calories, improves digestion, and prevents the urge to snack before bed. Walking also reduces bloating by keeping your metabolism active and aiding smoother digestion.
Drink This Herbal Tea Before Bed
To end your day on a soothing note, Sakina recommends a homemade herbal tea made with kitchen ingredients that target bloating and inflammation.
Her recipe includes:
- 1 cup of hot water
- ½ teaspoon each of fennel (saunf), cumin (jeera), and carom seeds (ajwain)
- ¼ teaspoon grated ginger
- A pinch of turmeric and black pepper
“Boil for 5–7 minutes, strain, add lemon, and drink while still warm. This tea helps reduce gas, bloating, and inflammation, making your tummy feel lighter,” she says.
Sakina shared these tips in an Instagram video posted on October 9, which has crossed over 4 lakh views. Many viewers praised the simplicity of her advice. A user commented, “Amazing tips,” while another wrote, “Really works!! I drink daily.” Others thanked her for offering natural remedies that are easy to follow at home.
