How I Make My Stomach Stop Growling - Ana Tip #2
1) Take appetite suppressants! That could be diet soda, tea, coffee or just water.
2) Breathe with my stomach rapidly for like 15 seconds. Make sure your tummy is going in and out, instead of your chest going up and down.
3) If you’re lying down; don’t lay on your back! instead, lay on your side. When you lay on your back, your stomach sinks downwards and looks thinner, but for me, it also makes my stomach growl.
Get to know your own body, and find out what works for you!
STAY SAFE
