The battle of the bulge. At one time or another, all of us have it (especially during that “special” time of the month). Exercise can help, but did you know that your diet may be the reason why there’s a slight muffin top emerging?

It isn't only junk food that can bloat you up. There are some foods that you might consider to be on the good-for-you list that can also make your tummy look a little “fluffier” than you’d like.

Check out the following six foods, think about how much you eat them and then go a week or so without ‘em. Your stomach may not have washboard abs, but your clothes will lay a lot better. (A happy medium!)

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
