Diet: The main rule of weight loss is that you should burn more calories than you consume. Have at least five to six small meals per day but ensure that they have right amount of protein, low carbs and healthy fats like Omega 3, Omega 6, Omega 9, flaxseed, extra virgin olive oil). Consumption of green vegetables is important not just for detoxification, but also because they are rich in fibre and complex carbohydrates.

Crunches: Basic abdominal crunches, oblique crunch, knee-to-elbow, leg raises, full sit-ups are very effective. Raise your head and shoulders off of the floor. Hold for three deep breaths, and then return to starting position. You will feel a tension in the muscles of your abdomen. Remember not to clasp your hands behind your head while doing abdominal crunches as well.

Planks: Planks are one of the best exercises you can do for your core because it builds isometric strength to help sculpt your waistline and improves your posture. Depending on the type of plank, you can also engage your back, arms, shoulders, glutes, and hamstrings. The types of plank exercises that can be practiced are forearm planks, straight arm planks, plank with arm or leg lift, side plank, dolphin plank and one-legged plank.

Waist training basics: It is one of the biggest myths that doing only crunches help reduce the waistline. Crunches are essential, but they only strengthen the core muscles and build endurance. To lose fat around the waistline, combine high-intensity interval training (HIIT) moves along with crunches to get magnum results. Start with cardio moves like skipping, jumping jacks, burpee and hand walk.
