How to Hide a Muffin Top

Summertime is here again, and proving difficult to hide that unsightly weight gain! Unfortunately for us women, our fat gathers around our tummy and love handle area. If we allow that to get out of control we become subject to... the muffin top! The "muffin top" is the muffin-shaped fat that hangs over the sides of your jeans. Yuck! Well, now we have it and we can't get rid of it immediately... so what do we do to hide it until we muster enough energy to exercise it off? Well, here are a few tips:

Instructions

1. Tuck Away the Tight Jeans!

   Store those tight jeans until winter and hope you still fit in them when you dig them back out of your closet! Tight jeans are the #1 cause of "muffin tops" in America today. Don't be a statistic! Try those pants on without a shirt, if you can pinch the fat right above the edge of the jeans, put them in the Goodwill pile!

2. Get a Girdle!

   If you're not ready to part with your tight jeans, try wearing Spanks or other forms of tummy flattening underwear. When picking out these undergarments, stick to ones that are HIGH waisted or a 1-peice style. The last thing you want is a muffin top above the undergarment!

3. Loathe the Low-Rise!

   Stay away from the low-rise jeans. Tummy fat seems to be most prevalent in the area below the belly button. Try to find fashionable jeans that come up slightly higher than your normal jeans. Sometimes a higher jean is all you need to cover your love-handles and tummy fat.

4. Pick your shirts wisely!

   Avoid tight fitting shirts. Stick to button up, or starchier shirts that will keep it's form and will not cling to your body. Also, shirts that have an elastic band around the bottom will cling to your legs and not your waist. Keep shirts loose, but not loose to make you look pregnant when you aren't.

5. Get in Shape!

   The best way to hide a muffin top is to avoid having one at all! Stay active! Try to eat a healthy low calorie, high protein diet and exercise! Do crunches and other ab exercises to keep your tummy flat!
