Lemon is another tried and tested  ingredient for getting a slimmer waist. Lukewarm water with honey and  lemon in the morning is one of the healthiest days to begin your day with. It also sets your metabolism right and ensures efficient metabolism, and thus, regulates appetite. Watch yourself lose inches from the mid-region simply by beginning your day with a glass of sugar-free lemonade.

3. Cinnamon

Cinnamon in your coffee

Cinnamon (dalcheeni) is a magic ingredient for your fight against tummy-fat. Sprinkle some in your coffee, milk or low fat, low carb baked products -not only will it enhance the taste manifold, but also increase the health quotient of your snack or beverage.

4. Curd

Toss a handful of fruits in a bowl-full of curd and voila!

Curd with salt or honey is a perfect food item to keep that metabolism running and the digestive system on its feet. Avoid jaggery or sugar, couple it with black salt, table salt or honey instead-and a bowl of curd is the perfect conclusion to any meal. Bust the myth that curd should be avoided in winters. At room temperature, it can be consumed at any time of the year. Team it with dal, rajma or any other lentils or pulses, and you are worthy of a pat on the back for having made a healthy meal part of your regime.
