Limit highly processed foods and those that have high sugar content. Opt for protein-rich foods and include fibers in your diet.
Having vegetables like broccoli, kale, and cauliflower will keep you fuller for longer periods, while also not adding a lot of calories.
Include egg whites, lean meat, seeds, and dry fruits in your diet as they are excellent sources of protein.
#2 Do the classic Pilates exercise - The Hundred
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor. One at a time, float your legs by lifting them off the ground.
Now, lift your arms, about an inch from the ground.
Lift your chest and upper back to engage the abs.
Breathe in, and pump your arms up and down for 100 counts.
Exhale and release the position.

Reach to touch your knees then lower. Repeat for 20 reps.
Do three sets of 20 reps.
#4 Do a dead bug for total core stability
Lie down and lift your hands so your elbows are above your shoulders with fists facing each other. Lift your legs with your knees directly over your hips.
Exhale and slowly lower your right arm and left leg until they're just above the floor.
Inhale and bring them back to the starting position.
Now, repeat on the opposite side. Do 1-3 sets of 10-12 reps.
