Struggling to shift that squidgy bit of flesh hanging over your jeans? Well forget sit ups and salads, and pour yourself a glass of soya milk instead.
That's the advice of scientists from the University of Alabama in America, who recently discovered that one soya drink a day is enough to reduce stomach fat.
It's thought that soya – which is a vegetable protein – interferes with the process of excess calories being turned into stomach fat.
Most of us put weight on around our midriff when we've been over doing the Krispy Kremes, but it's the most dangerous type of body fat.
Storing podge around your middle – rather than your bottom, hips or thighs – raises your risk of heart attacks and diabetes.
Experts recommend keeping your waist measurement below 32 inches to stay healthy, so try a glass of soya milk a day, ask for your latte to be made with soya milk, or use it on your cereal.
You'll be squeezing into your little black dress in no time…
