How To Get a Flat Stomach and Lose Belly Fat

How To Get A Flat Stomach and Lose Belly Fat

Do you always wear tight jeans with a wide shirt in order to hide the excess fat on your belly? Do you hate when you wear a bikini and you have to suck in your stomach all the time in order for it to look flat? If you answer yes, then its time for a change that will bring real results, unlike the yo-yo effect that some diets have.

The bad news is that the belly fat not only looks bad and lowers your self-esteem, but it’s also harmful to your health.

Being overweight and having excess belly fat can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers.

Getting rid of belly fat is difficult, but not impossible. The good news is that with the help of simple changes in your diet and lifestyle, you can get rid of excess belly fat and get the desired hourglass body shape. Here are tips and tricks on how to get a flat stomach and lose belly fat:

How to get a flat stomach and lose belly fat – Relax

The more you’re exposed to stress, the more fat you’ll have around your stomach. Studies have shown that there’s a link between stress and the stubborn belly fat. Scientists explained that when the body is under stress, it secretes larger amounts of the hormone cortisol which stimulates the body to store fat in the abdomen area.

Try to find at least 10-15 minutes per day to relax. Listen to a beautiful music or enjoy a cup of green tea. It’s impossible to live without stress, but do everything in your power to reduce the stress as much as possible.

Monounsaturated fats found in nuts, avocados and dark chocolate are extremely useful for melting the unpleasant fatty deposits around the abdomen. What you should avoid is fried foods, sugary baked goods, crackers and various other unhealthy snacks and cookies. Of course, you should also have a healthy diet and eat foods that will help you get rid of belly fat.

How to get a flat stomach and lose belly fat – Reduce bloating

Bloating is a condition that goes by rather quickly, but it’s not pleasant. A food or certain habits can contribute to bloating. Here’s what to look out for when you want to avoid bloating:

  • Avoid eating too much broccoli, cabbage, beans, peppers and cauliflower
  • Say a big ‘no’ soft drinks
  • Eat slowly so you won’t be swallowing air
  • Don’t drink from a straw
  • Don’t chew gum, because it’ll make you swallow air
  • Reduce the salt consumption because salt retains fluids in the body

You do 150 sit-ups a day, but you still don’t manage to get a flat stomach? Unless you’re one of the few naturally gifted with a flat stomach, hundreds of abdominal exercises won’t help you to get rid of the excess belly fat if you don’t combine them with other exercises.

Don’t avoid cardio exercises and combine them into your exercise routine. They’ll help you to lose weight, and make you lose belly fat faster. Jog or do a fast walk for half an hour every day and it won’t be long before you see the results. If you exercise at home or at the gym, do a cardio exercises for at least 10-15 minutes before doing your abdominal exercises.

Effective exercise to get a flat stomach

Lie on your stomach. Lift your upper body and support it on your elbows while placing your palms on the floor. Your elbows should be parallel to your shoulders. Tighten your abs and lift your knees off the floor and stand on your toes. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your heels. Tighten your abdominal muscles and hold your body in that position for 15-20 seconds. Repeat this exercise 10- 15 times.

Do this exercise every day, and every week hold your abdominal muscles tight for 15 seconds longer than the previous week. In a few weeks you’ll definitely see the results.
