Our stomach is the one part of our body that reacts quickly to changes—good and bad.

If you only have a slight pooch, the foods you eat can make a noticeable difference in your belly overnight.

However, instead of having piled on the pounds, you could simply be suffering from temporary bloating caused by gas and water.

Luckily, it is possible to flatten your belly and look slimmer almost immediately.

Nutritionist Dr Marilyn Glenville reveals how you can quickly reduce a bulging stomach with a few lifestyle tweaks.

1. DRINK MORE WATER
Make sure to drink your recommended amount of two litres a day - two and a half litres a day for men - to keep hydrated. If you restrict fluids your body will try to compensate and retain liquid, just in case it is short supply. That can cause bloating.

2. CHOOSE YOUR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES CAREFULLY
Although all vegetables are good for you but think wisely when you're buying your greens at the supermarket. Broccoli is one of the vegetables to avoid as it can cause bloating and excess wind. While in fruits, plums can also be a regular suspect.

3. CUT DOWN ON DAIRY
Some people don't produce the enzyme lactase, which helps them breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk. Thus, cutting back on the white stuff is an easy way to lose the bloat.

4. SAY NO TO CROISSANTS, COOKIES AND PASTA
Have less refined carbohydrates like pasta, which has a higher glycaemic index (GI) than unrefined carbs so they are broken down into glucose (sugar) more quickly which can cause bloating and gas.

5. LIMIT SPICES
Some spicy foods can stimulate the release of stomach acid, which can cause irritation and others can ferment in the digestive system causing bloating.

6. HAVE MORE FIBRE
Have more fibre to prevents food from putrefying inside your body, which can give you symptoms such as bloating and flatulence. Fibre is essential for a healthy digestive system and has a beneficial effect on the bowels, as well as the rest of your body.

7. CHEW YOUR FOOD PROPERLY
Chew each mouthful until the food is liquid, not only will this help to ensure that the food is properly digested, but it will also help you to eat slower.

8. AVOID LARGE MEALS
Eat less but more often. Eating a large meal increases feelings of fullness but you will be more likely to eat more calories. instead of eating three large meals a day, try four to six smaller meals spread out throughout the day.

9. DON'T CHEW GUM
Chewing gum can lead to swallowing air which can cause bloating as well as stimulating your digest enzymes.

10. AVOID SWEETENERS

Artificial sweeteners in foods and drink should be avoided as they cause bloating, while 'diet' carbonated drinks are also unhelpful as they cause gas to get trapped in your stomach.
