How To Look Skinnier

If you want to look skinnier, you have a few options. One is actually being skinnier. If you are actually skinnier through training and eating, you'll look skinnier.

Second, you can dress better for your body shape, be it wearing heels or wearing black. And third, you can work on your posture. That's what we're going to talk about today.

No, if I sit like here, quite slouched, it makes me look about an inch or two shorter. Now, if I look an inch or two shorter, I look about four or five pounds heavier than I really am. If I work on being upright, if you hold on a second, head up, I will look lighter, the same height or even taller, which makes me look lighter and skinnier.

Now, how do we sit upright, because most of us, we think we sit like this but, most of the time, we're on a desk. Watching TV, we hunch. There are two things.

It's about pelvis and about top of the back. And with the pelvis, you want to draw it in. So, if your hips are facing in this position, you want to tilt them, so there's like a little curve up in your lower back.

Having that curve in your lower back helps to keep your body upright. Also, switches on your erector spine, which is your lower back muscles, helps protect the lower back. So, there are lots of good reasons to sit like this.

Not like that. Second, the shoulders - if you do a shrug, which is up, back, and down, you want to keep in the back down position here. Not like that.

So, if you feel yourself slouching, go up, back, and down. Another way to think about it is, imagine you're grabbing a 50 pound or 50 dollar note in between your shoulder blades and you're trying to keep it pinched there. So, you're sticking your chest out and keeping your shoulders pinched.

That, along with the pelvis thing we just talked about, will make you look much skinnier. So, to recap, we can either lose weight, become skinnier, you can learn to dress a bit better, or third, a little sneaky tip. Work your posture a good five seconds.

You'll look skinnier straight away. .
