FLAT BELLY RULES
While
you're alive you want to look and feel your healthiest and for many people,
looking healthy means having a flat stomach. Having a flat stomach can make
shopping for clothes more fun and provide an extra boost of confidence . If
you're looking to flatten your stomach, follow a few simple flat tummy rules.
REDUCE
BLOATING
- If you want a flat stomach, the
first thing you need to do is reduce bloating. You can do this by cutting
down on food that causes gas, such as beans, cauliflower, broccoli and
brussel sprouts. These nutritious vegetables are good for you and
shouldn't be eliminated from your diet, but they should be consumed in
moderation. Another way to reduce bloating is to chew less gum, which can
increase bloating because air is swallowed as you chew it.
INCREASE
ELIMINATION
- Often, not having a flat
stomach is caused by infrequent elimination. Regulate your bowel movements
by increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables (except for the ones that
cause more gas!), lean protein and whole grains.
DRINK
LOTS OF WATER
- Water helps flush out toxins, impurities and fats from
your system. Adults are advised to drink between eight and 10 eight-ounce
glasses of water per day.
SAY
GOODBYE TO FRIED FOODS
- Fried foods are high in fat, the
opposite of what you need to consume if you're trying to get a flat tummy.
Substitute fried foods for grilled, baked or broiled dishes. Eat baked
potatoes or baked sweet potato fries instead of french fries; try baked or
broiled chicken instead of fried chicken. Choose a salad as a restaurant
appetizer rather than the more popular options of fried cheese and
vegetables.
CUT
DOWN CALORIES
- In order to lose weight in your
stomach, or in any other area of your body, you will have to cut down your
caloric intake/ The average daily diet consists 2,000 to 2,500 calories.
In order to lose weight, you should consume between 1,200 to 1,600
calories per day.
EAT
SLOWLY
- Eating quickly causes your
stomach to expand in two ways. When you consume your food at a rapid pace,
you'll often swallow air, which causes bloating. This may also cause you
to overeat because your body doesn't receive the signal that you're full
so you tend to eat more than you need. If you eat slowly, you will not
only reduce your air intake, you will also give your stomach a chance to
send important signals to your brain indicating that you've had enough to
eat.
EAT
SMALLER MEALS
- To keep your stomach flat and
your hunger at bay, break your calories up into 4 to 5 small 300- to
400-calorie meals per day. Eating frequent, smaller meals eliminates a
bloated full feeling while maintaining your blood sugar levels and keeping
hunger at bay.
EXERCISE
- Eating right is only half the
battle when it comes to losing weight. You must exercise. In order to lose
stomach fat, you may be tempted to only do exercises that isolate your
stomach muscles. Resist the temptation; it's nearly impossible to lose
weight in only one area of your body. If you exercise your entire body,
your whole body will respond. Weight bearing exercises will strengthen
your core and cardio exercises, such as jogging, power walking, swimming
or kick boxing, will burn those calories and slim your body.
EAT
FRESH FOODS
- Highly processed foods can be
low in fiber and high in sodium you can eliminate uncomfortable stomach
bloating by eating a healthy diet that doesn't include more than 2,300 mg
of sodium per day.
GIVE
YOURSELF TIME
- Be patient with yourself. Your
belly bulge didn't appear in a day, and it won't disappear in a week.
Remember, you're making a lifestyle change, not searching for a quick fix.
