How to Get a Flat Belly

Are you sick of hiding your belly under baggy tops or buying your pants a size too big so your stomach won't spill over the waistband? You're not alone. The stomach is a major, if not the major problem area, for men and women.

If you're feeling a little flabby around the middle, or just want to do a little toning up, let these tips be your guide.

How to get Flat tummy Fast At Home

Start your day with grapefruit

Stock up on this tart pink fruit. The acidity in grapefruit slows digestion, so you'll feel fuller, longer. And just half a grapefruit packs 64% of your recommended daily vitamin C intake. Look for ones that feel heavy for their size with a fine-grained skin.

Don’t Eat Before Bed

Don't eat anything for two to three hours before sleep. Your body slows down when you sleep, which will prevent your body from digesting the food in your stomach properly. You are also much less active in the evenings and at night, which means that your body is more likely to store the calories you consume late at night as fat, rather than burning them as energy. Try not to eat anything at least two to three hours before going to bed, or follow the "daylight diet", which only allows you to eat during daylight hours.

Take your gossip session on a walk

Instead of catching up with friends over food and drinks, suggest a reunion on the move—you're likely to work out 104% harder if you have an exercise buddy. Suggest a weekly walk-and-talk session, form a friendly fitness club, or take advantage of gym specials together. You'll motivate everyone to get moving while you grow even closer.

Do cardio exercise

If you want to burn the most belly fat, a Duke University study confirms that aerobic exercise is the most effective in burning that deep, visceral belly fat. In fact, aerobic training burns 67% more calories than resistance training or a combination of the two, according to the study.

Chest Flye with Leg Extension Exerxises for Flat Stomach

Lie face up on mat, knees bent 90 degrees over hips, holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended over chest, palms in. Keeping right knee bent, straighten left leg toward floor as you lower arms out to sides. Hold for 1 count, then return to start.

Special Food for Flat stomach

There are foods that promote a leaner and flatter stomach. For example, almonds contain high amounts of fiber and magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral linked to building muscle and developing stronger abs. "Fitness" magazine recommends 1 oz. of almonds daily to get these benefits. Also, add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. This nutrient improves your metabolism and helps you feel full for longer. Salmon, flaxseed and walnuts are sources of omega-3 fatty acid.

Soy is another food that promotes a flat stomach. Dieters who drink soy milk appear to lose more weight than those who don’t, according to "Fitness." Consume 25 g of soy protein from whole soybean sources daily.
