Chief among juices for its slimming prowess is pomegranate juice.
"One of the best ways to beat belly fat is to lower chronic inflammation since it has been shown to stimulate weight gain and may be particularly linked with belly fat because it raises cortisol, a.k.a. 'the belly fat hormone,'" say The Nutrition Twins. "Cortisol causes you to store more fat, especially around the waist."
"Thanks to its potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that fight destructive free radicals, pomegranate juice is just what you want to sip if you're trying to beat inflammation and the belly fat that comes with it," they say.
Better yet, pomegranate juice has lots of other health benefits beyond helping you squeeze into your skinny jeans.
"Its antioxidants are so powerful that they've been shown to do everything from reduce inflammatory activity in breast cancer cells, colon cancer cells, and the digestive tract; reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity; fight against bacteria and fungus; improve memory; and possibly even protect against Alzheimer's disease," The Nutrition Twins say. "Add that antioxidants in pomegranate juice have been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the dipping that can lead to overeating and weight gain too, this deliciously tart and sweet drink is just what your flat-belly ordered!"

Rebel Wilson, 41, lost over five stone after her "Year of Health". The actress used walking and a healthy diet to slim down.
She told fans: “An Austrian doctor said 'Rebel, the best way for you to lose unwanted body fat is just simply walking.
“‘Doesn't have to be high-intensity, doesn't have to be uphill, just moderate walking an hour a day.
“‘And if you can do that, for you, for your body type, it's, like, the best way to lose unwanted body fat.'"
The actress is said to have followed the Mayr Method diet plan and has focused on adding in more vegetables while sometimes allowing herself treats.

Fitness expert and founder of CrockFit Alex Crockford analysed Rebel's weight loss methods.
He told Express.co.uk: "The diet is good because the foods suggested to eat and to avoid are what we could traditionally consider as a healthy approach.
"Eating fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices etc, while avoiding sugar, processed foods, dairy and fizzy drinks.
"This makes this diet quite simple to follow and apply, which then increases adherence, which ultimately makes a successful diet."
Discussing The Mayr Method, Alex explained: "The goal of this diet is to improve gut health which promotes weight loss, and health.
"This may be true, however it’s highly likely that someone doing this diet will experience weight loss due to the reduced calorie intake and controlled diet, compared to their previous eating habits."
Alex advocates for mindful eating, a practice advovated by the plan.
He said: "The diet’s suggestion of mindful eating is great too - chewing food for longer and also limiting distractions is a way to increase gratitude for the food, enjoyment and satisfaction of the moment, promoting stopping when you’re full, and of course the digestion benefits of breaking the food down too.
Rebel Wilson discusses her decision to lose weight in 2020
"Everyone’s weight loss journey is very personal, so restricting some food groups may be a good approach for some, but may not be the best approach mentally and emotionally for others, where restriction can lead to negative eating habits in the long run.
"However, it seems Rebel’s approach is really well balanced by keeping the diet as her main foundation while she enjoys the things she likes occasionally, like ice cream and chocolate, to keep it maintainable. This is true really for any diet in my opinion."
Walking formed a large part of Rebel's fitness overhaul. The actress ensures to walk an hour a day to stay active.
Alex said: "Rebel increased her walking to 60 minutes a day, which is a great way to increase her calorie burn to create the calorie deficit needed to burn fat.
"I would also suggest adding in forms of resistance training like home bodyweight workouts or lifting weights, to build muscle and further improve fat loss while shaping the body with muscle tone."
Lastly, Alex commended the Aussie actress for speaking out about her emotional eating.
He told Express.co.uk: "I love her comments about her lessons in emotional eating, and how she has managed to process her emotions better and become healthier because of it.
"This is great inspiration for anyone looking to improve their relationship with food."

Five non-gym, non-diet ways to get slim

1. Breasts
   Age, fluctuating weight, and implant removal can contribute to breast sagging. Traditionally, going under the knife was the ideal way to fight gravity, but InMode’s BreastTite delivers a bit of perk. “It’s like the Botox of the breast, where it improves your skin for a more youthful breast,” says Dr Jacob Unger of Nashville’s Maxwell Aesthetics. “Standard surgery only interacts with the tissue along the excisional line, and BreastTite uses radio frequency to remodel and tighten the breast skin envelope to deliver a more elevated and youthful result to the entire breast.” When combined with Morpheus8’s deep fractional treatment capabilities to remodel collagen, an invasive procedure can be avoided.

2. Abs
   Denver-based plastic surgeon Dr Gregory Buford and Dr Paul Friedman of Houston, president-elect of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, use EON on patients who need an abdominal tuneup. This touchless system uses a robotic arm to simultaneously deliver fat-reducing laser and skin-cooling technology for minimal discomfort. Results are visible in 12 weeks and the dead fat cells are discarded through the body’s lymphatic system.
   For those who want to reduce fat and build muscle – and can tolerate what feels like mini karate chops to the gut, combined with muscle contractions – TruBody is the way to go. This treatment uses TruSculpt iD radio frequency technology to melt fat and muscle stimulation to add up to “a workout on steroids”, according to Dr Nina Desai, an anti-agqeing specialist out of Sugar Land, Texas. “You get 50,000 contractions of each muscle group being targeted in 15 minutes. Together they are a powerhouse to provide strength and contour, shaping an overall improved physique.”

3. Knees and elbows
   Dr Anne Chapas’ patients love Thermage because it treats lax, crepe-like skin on the body in a single 45-60 minute office visit. “Thermage uses radio frequency technology to heat the deeper collagen-rich layers of the skin,” says the director of Unionderm, a New York-based cosmetic dermatology group. “This heat causes collagen to contract and encourage new collagen to grow.” Knees and elbows are noticeably smoother after one treatment, but results improve after two months to six months.

Bonus: Uneven skin tone
A newly moulded physique deserves a rejuvenated complexion. BBL Hero uses BroadBand light to treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation, freckles, and redness on all areas of the body. Quick pulses of light are passed over the skin to target and destroy pigment and stimulate cell rejuvenation. (A person’s back may take 10 minutes to treat.) Patients may feel the skin warming, though not enough to require a topical numbing agent. Users should refrain from tanning in the weeks before the procedure; those with deeper skin tones, says Entière Dermatology founder Dr Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, should find a doctor with expertise in richer pigments.
