Fuel up on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/on-my-plate\/6-fruits-et-legumes-bons-pour-la-ligne-101521.html#post-101521\">fruits<\/a>, allow yourself one or two slices of bread, have cereals, etc. Lunch should then consist of a little starch and protein (primarily white meat). As for the evening, think 'light' with an emphasis on fish and vegetables. Avoid anything with\u00a0too much fat and food that's too sweet at all costs, including alcohol. This is the time to do a little detox!<\/p> <h2> <span>ERASE THE EXCESS<\/span> <\/h2> <p>To melt body fat and lose calories, there are no secrets or a magic formula: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/healthy-practices\/physical-exercise\/improved-workout-modifications-change-everything-110239.html\">cardio exercises<\/a> are mandatory. Cycling, jogging, brisk walking, you choose! Then work your abs by practicing traditional crunches. Start by lying on the floor, and take off the shoulders by rolling back and just touch your knees with your elbows. The right prescription: 50 to 60 per day.<\/p> <h2> <span>GENTLY\u00a0TONE<\/span> <\/h2> <p>You don't have a big belly, but is your little tummy slightly plump and you're not into sports? Lean face down, on your forearms and knees (or toes, your choice). Stay static for 30 seconds while keeping the belly and pelvis above the ground, as if you were a\u00a0board. Resist by tucking in that tummy and tighten the buttocks. Repeat 3 to 4 times. Increase daily from holding for 5 seconds to\u00a0a solid\u00a01 minute.<\/p> <h2> <span>THE 2-MINUTE TRICK<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Have 2 minutes to spare between meetings, during your public transport journey or behind the wheel? Put\u00a0this time to good use! Inhale and expand\u00a0the stomach and then exhale... while continuing to expand your tummy muscles. Visualize your navel falling as far from you as possible.<\/p> <h2> <span>MASSAGE\u00a0OF TEN<\/span> <\/h2> <p>The rolling massage in a salon is very effective, so why not adapt the ritual at home? Choose a slimming treatment with caffeine. Before applying it in the morning and at night, knead your belly and your love handles. Make 'fat rolls' between the fingers to 'wake up' the tissues and loosen clumps of fat cells. These actions also boost <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/beauty\/beauty-buys\/skincare\/lip-scrubs-10-exfoliants-puckers-118243.html\">blood circulation<\/a> and prepare the skin for
