Why does your stomach growl when you are hungry?
Stomach noise - such as rumbling, gurgling and growling - typically is due to normal digestion. Stomach growling can occur when you're hungry. But it can also occur after eating or between meals when food is passing through your intestines.
Hunger and appetite are controlled by a complex system of hormone-like substances primarily made by your digestive system. When you haven't eaten for a while, these substances are released and cause a part of your brain called the hypothalamus to "switch on" your desire to eat. A message is then sent to your stomach and intestines. This triggers muscle contractions and the release of acids and other digestive fluids - which causes the rumbling, grumbling sounds you hear - as your body prepares for you to eat. The thought, sight or smell of food also can trigger this response.
Sometimes excessive stomach noise can be a symptom of an underlying gastrointestinal disorder, such as irritable bowel syndrome. But in such cases, stomach noise usually is accompanied by other signs and symptoms such as bloating, cramping, diarrhea or excess gas.

How can you have a flat stomach by tomorrow?
Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.
Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.
Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.
In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

Best excerise for a flat stomach?
To get a flat stomach the best workout you can do is to actually focus on your whole body i.e. not just your abs. Working the larger muscle groups like in your legs will burn more calories for you which in turn will help you to reduce your body fat percentage. When you start to reduce your body fat percentage then you will start to get a flat stomach and even start to see a six pack.
If you have a bit of a gut at the moment then you're going to have to do a combination of workouts with the correct type of diet. You don't need to go on a fad diet (and I don't recommend them as they tend to have a yo-yo effect i.e. after you lose the weight and return to normal eating habits then you just pile the weight back on).
To get a flat stomach your best option is to eat a healthy balanced diet and combine that with a whole body workout each day. Don't let the whole body workout scare you off, it doesn't have to take very long and you can build on it week by week.
You need to reduce the amount of calories your eating every day. I want to emphasise that it's very important to have a balanced diet and that you eat at the right times of the day. If your diet isn't balanced then your body will store fat unnecessarily if it thinks it's not getting the right types of foods. Also the right combination of carbohydrates and protein(remember a balanced diet) will allow your body to get maximum energy.
Spread your meals out and eat more often. If you eat 3 times a day, try changing that to 5/6 times a day with smaller portions.
So if you reduce your calorie intake, eat sensible more often and with smaller portions and exercise daily then you will start to see a flat stomach soon.
