How do you get a flat stomache?

Answer 1

HOW DO YOU GET A FLAT STOMACH

Well, let us first look at eating habits and then look at exercise.

EATING HABITS

You need to change your eating habits. Eliminate or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional treat). That is the primary key. Over-consumption of refined processed carbohydrates is a major cause of insulin resistance and, by that, body fat accumulating on or around the stomach or abdomen. If you are unsure what these foods are, at the bottom of this answer you will find a page link leading to a full list of refined processed carbohydrates.

Over-consumption of refined processed carbohydrates is also a major cause of heart disease, hypertension, weight gain, obesity, type 2 Diabetes, and many other diet related diseases and conditions.

All carbohydrates, whether simple carbs or complex carbs,become sugar when digested. Therefore, eating refined processed carbohydrate foods is like eating concentrated sugar. Also, avoid sweetened drinks. Additionally, limit natural fruit juices. Even natural fruit juice is high in fructose (which is the form of sugar in fruit). Fruit juice is perceived as healthy, but many people fail to realize that it is loaded with sugar. Natural fruit juice can contain just as much sugar as a soft sugary drink.

Replace the refined processed carbohydrates with more of the so-called 'fat burning' foods. Then you can take advantage of the fat burning thermic effect of those nutritious foods. If you are unsure what fat burning foods are, at the bottom of this answer you will find a page link leading to a full list and more information about the thermic effect of these foods. Drink plenty of water to enable you body to process these foods.

Eat less saturated fat and replace it with beneficial fats and oils. Protein and fat is essential to sustain life. This is why low fat diets can be detrimental to health. Therefore, you must include some fat in your diet. If you ate a no fat (or no protein) diet, you would die.

Eat several smaller meals throughout the day to avoid hunger and food cravings. You will not be eating more food; you will simply be spreading it throughout the day.

EXERCISE HABITS

If you are able bodied, engage in regular cardiovascular (cardio) exercise. Cardio is an excellent fat burning exercise. Some examples of cardio exercise are brisk walking (treadmill or outdoors), jogging (treadmill or outdoors) running (treadmill or outdoors) trampolining, cross-country skiing, rowing, Nordic walking, and aerobic dancing. Any exercise, sport or activity that increases your heart and respiration rate for a specific period is cardiovascular exercise.

There are different degrees of cardio exercise from mild to intense.

At the bottom of this answer, are page links to free cardio exercise plans, both mild and intense. Intense cardio exercises include running, interval training, and graded exercise protocol. Brisk walking is an example of mild cardio exercise.

There is an inverse proportion between intensity and duration. Intense exercise must be brief! For example, you can sprint 100 meters, but you cannot sprint 5000 meters.

If you are new to exercise, you may wish to begin with mild cardio, then work your way up. A good form of mild cardio is brisk walking (outdoors or treadmill).

Even if you are unable to exercise, you can still achieve good results, and improve your overall health, by following the dietary changes outlined on this page and in more detail in the links given below.

(It is wise to consult with your own physician before changing your eating or exercise habits, especially if you already have any known condition or disease.)
