This will keep your insulin levels low, and also keep your glucagon levels high. Glucagon, a hormone, helps keep your belly flatChew on this: Chewing prevents bloating. Chew food until it is like applesauce in your mouth. Digestion begins in the mouth, and better-digested food means less gas and bloating.Size matters: Eating portion-controlled meals will reduce your abdominal flab.
