The hardest body area for someone to lose weight is in the stomach. This is so because for most people the stomach is the last place your body will burn the fat. Thus there are two main components when you are trying to lose stomach weight. First, the diet plays a huge role in how your stomach looks. The second key to losing weight is exercise and working out your abs.

Now not everyone’s body is the same, and you will see other people who have literally no stomach weight, yet they do not exercise and they eat whatever they want. Note that this is very rare, just look around your work place or on a walk one day and you will see that most people are carrying a little extra weight in their stomachs. Follow the below diet and exercise tips and you will see a flatter, healthier stomach.

Diet Tips

The first thing you need to do is realize your current diet plan. Take note on what types of foods you eat and how often you eat. Do you eat out often, and how many times a week? Do you eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, any grains or dairy products? What do you drink during these meals, soda, water or milk? For about two weeks write down what you have eaten and when you ate your meal. Along with your meal, write down what you drank with that meal and the amount. After two weeks you will get a good idea on what your everyday diet is. You must write down everything as the food you eat and the liquids you drink only affect you. Do not be embarrassed, instead think of it as a time to change. You are never too old to change your diet plan. Another tip, once you start cutting out certain foods, it will be easier for you to not eat that certain food. Now we will discuss a healthy eating plan for you.

1) Eat vegetables. Many people do not like vegetables, but I have some tips for you to make them better. The first thing you can do is melt cheese on the veggies. Though this is not as healthy as eating them plain, you will get your taste buds active and use to the taste of the veggie. After a week or so of adding cheese to the veggie, start eating it without cheese. The next thing you can do with the vegetables is steam them. This deadens the taste and will be more enjoyable for you. In order to steam veggies, it is quite a simple process. Just boil some water and place a pan or plate with many holes in it (can buy a steamer at your local store for very cheap), and place the veggies on the plate and cover them. The vegetables will be done around 10 minutes of steaming. Start substituting vegetables with any fatty foods you are eating. I know this does not sound pleasant right now, but just slow yourself into it. For example if you eat 10 fatty foods a week, try subbing 1 veggie for that fatty food for that week. Then the next week sub 2 veggies for the fatty food. The next week 3 and so on and so on.

2) Eventually eliminate all fatty foods. Now you may seem like this is impossible, however, have a positive attitude and you will accomplish this goal. I know because I used the following tips and I now eat a fatty food about once every 2 to 3 weeks. Now you must slowly get off fatty foods. Too many people will eliminate all fatty foods at once, and they might eat healthy for about two weeks before they are right back on the fatty foods. Do not do this, you must get off the bad foods slowly! So like explained above, if you eat 10 fatty foods a week, try to bring it down to 9 a week, then 8 a week and so on. Your body has to adjust to your new eating pattern and the best way for it to adjust is by changing it slowly. The following are some fatty foods you should eventually stay off of.

1. Fast food: hamburgers, French fries, potato wedges, fried chicken, fried veggies, fried seafood, any other fried food.
2. Lots of cheese: Pizza (especially with a lot of grease on it), cheese burgers, anything loaded with cheese.
3. Candy: Has a lot of sugar that will add weight to you. Try staying off all candies!
4. Soda: Like candy, soda has a lot of sugar in it and is bad for your weight. Try to stop drinking soda. You can easily get off soda by slowly switching to healthier liquids.
5. Any greasy foods.
6. Certain chips: These can be high in fat and carbohydrates. Make sure you check the nutrition guide before you buy any chips.
7. Beer and hard alcohol. These are very high in “empty” calories and it will cause a lot of extra weight in your stomach.
8. Nuts: They are high in fat, but are also good for you. So just try to limit the amounts of nuts you eat.

If you eat a lot of the above foods, do not get discouraged. You will be able to break your eating habit. Next is a list of healthy foods that will help get rid of your stomach fat.

1. Orange juice, low fat milk, apple juice, low sugar juices, water: Anything that is made out of fruit or vegetables and is low in sugars is an excellent source of vitamins and nutrients. Try out different juices and see which one you like. You can also mix juices together to make a whole new drink. Try drinking the above liquids as much as you can.
2. Chicken: This is a great source of protein as is very low in fat. Do not buy the chicken that is already breaded because it is very high in fat. Chicken is very easy to cook and I recommend putting many spices on it to give it some flavor. I also like to use different types of sauces for my chicken. I recommend hot sauces, BBQ sauces, honey-mustard or teriyaki sauce. I also sometimes put some flavored pasta sauce on my chicken to give it a new taste. You can eat chicken plain, put it into a sandwich, put it with pasta or a salad. Chicken can be eaten with a variety of other meals and if you switch it up your body will thank you for the new tastes.
3. Turkey: This is another white meat that is low in fat and healthy for you.
4. Tuna and most seafood: All seafood is high in protein and most are very low in fat.
5. Veggies and fruits: You can’t go wrong here. Try steaming your veggies and drying out your fruits to get a new taste. Also, grilling veggies is another way to trick your taste buds.
6. Some red meats: You can find red meats that are lower in fat. Thus if you are craving a hamburger, you can find low fat hamburger meat. I recommend eating red meat if you already do so.
7. Pasta: Even though high in carbs, pasta is low in fat and healthy for you. There are many pasta sauces out there, but try to stay away from alfredo and pestos sauces as they are high in fat. Since pasta comes in a variety of flavors, you should be able to enjoy this meal without your taste buds getting tired of it.

In closing, you must approach this diet plan slowly. It will take about a month before you are getting off all your bad foods. I highly recommend getting a cook book so you can make yourself healthy meals. In these cook books they have great ideas in making healthy foods taste better than fatty, greasy foods. Also, watch what you drink as sugar will affect your weight negatively. Well, this was just part one, as now you will learn about exercises and building muscle in your stomach and how this will greatly affect the look of your stomach.

The Stomach Flatting Workout

You will need to exercise to get your stomach flatter and sexier. The below workout is not a hard one and you will easily be able to accomplish it.

The first thing you must prepare for is consistency. If you plan on exercising in the morning one day and at night the next, you will have a problem. Try to get into a rhythm, you will be able to perform these exercises with better results if you do so.

Here is your workout, and this should be performed at least 6 days a week. On the 7^th day give your body a rest. Just like the diet plan above, slowly work your way into this workout. Try these exercises 2-3 times the first week, then the next week 3-4 times and so on.

1. Warm-Up. Run or jog for 5 minutes, and complete a stretch of your legs and abs. If you plan on walking, complete at least a 10 minute walk at a quick-like walk.
2. Abs exercises. Click here to find out what exercises you should do. Complete an abs exercise for about 10 minutes.
3. Run or jog for 15 minutes. If you plan on walking, complete at least a 30 minute walk.
4. Abs exercises. Complete another abs exercise for 10 minutes.
5. Cool off jog. Complete a slower jog for about 10 minutes. If you plan on walking, complete a 20 minute walk.

Even though I state that you can walk, it is not recommended because it will take a lot longer for you to burn off your stomach fat. However, if you are not in running shape, then I recommend starting out the exercise with jogging as much as you can, then go to walking. Your body will get use to running and exercises, and therefore you will be able to complete the above workout more easily as time goes on.

You now have the tools to achieve a healthier, flatter, sexier stomach. Remember that this will take time and you must not go off your path. You will see results within the first couple weeks, but you must complete both your diet plan and workout routine. I recommend writing down goals and try to exceed those goals. If you put in the effort you will never go back to your old ways. Just put in these tips for 1 month of your life and you will be a completely different person. Goodluck!
