5 Ways To Flatten Your Stomach Fast

Here are 5 ways to flatten your stomach that you can incorporate into your life starting today:#1 - Take Small Steps To Eat Healthier If you're ever going to flatten your stomach and reveal those abs, you need to clean up that diet! Eating junk food and refined flour/sugar will make sure that you never burn off the fat. Now this doesn't mean you have to eat perfectly to achieve your goals. But you do need to start focusing on natural, whole foods like fruits, veggies, and meats. Stop eating processed foods that you freeze or that come out of a box.#2 - Don't Eat So Much At Each MealAfter you clean up the type of food that you're eating, you also need to change how much you're eating at each meal. If you grab the biggest plate in your cupboard, and fill it full of food everytime you eat, then you are way overeating and need to shrink down your portion size. Your stomach is only about as big as your fist, so keep that in mind when you dish up your food.Try going for the smaller plates in your cupboard, and starting with a small portion. Eat slowly, and focus on your food (instead of watching TV or reading). If you find that you are still hungry after you finish your plate, wait a few minutes, then get some more if you need it. Always start small so you don't feel obligated to finish your plate.#3 - Add More Meals To Your Day So You Are Eating More Often When you start eating less at each meal, you'll notice that 3 meals per day just won't do it. That's because the only way to eat just 3 meals a day is to stuff yourself at each meal to ensure that can last until the next meal 5 hours later. Getting six pack abs fast is much easier when you start eating smaller meals more frequently. You should be eating about 5-6 times per day, just in smaller portions.#4 - Stop Your Worthless Cardio RoutineIf you've heard that hopping on the treadmill and jogging at a moderate pace for an hour or two is the best way to burn fat, it's time you hear the truth! Jogging is actually the least effective workout you can do if you want to lose fat and flatten your stomach. When you are stuck on the treadmill for so long, it will wear down your joints and increase the amount of free radicals in your body, it's just plain hard on you.Because jogging on a treadmill is not a very intense workout, it doesn't increase your metabolism for very long after the workout. When you jog for an hour, you can expect your metabolism to increase for about 1-2 hours after the exercise. Compare this with lifting weights, that will increase your metabolism (and the amount of calories you burn) for 1-2 DAYS after the workout.#5 - Quit Wasting So Much Time Working Your Abdominals To really flatten your stomach, you don't need to focus on doing hundreds of situps or other ab exercises. The truth is that your abs are a fairly small muscle group, and you only need to exercise them for an intense 5-10 minutes. Other than that, your time is better spent doing full body workouts that will burn a ton more calories and promote much more fat burning.Once you start eating healthier and lifting weights that work your whole body, the fat will start to melt away and your stomach will become nice and flat with hardly any ab specific exercises at all. It's definitely important to keep your core strong, but the strength will come as you do other full-body workouts that will burn a lot more calories and actually help you lose abdominal fat faster than doing lots of situps ever could.
