Everybody wants a flat stomach! Everybody craves for a flat stomach! Everybody obsesses over a flat stomach! There are three factors that we can control to help get that flat stomach. Those are nutrition, physical activity, and stress reduction.
Nutrition: Cut down on the fat intake in your diet as well as intake of sodas. Also try to cut back on processed carbohydrates like: breads, pasta, rice and potatoes. Instead of eating 3 big meals per day, eat smaller sized portions and divide your meals into 6 meals per day. Your meals should be well balanced from each of the basic food groups and drink lots of water. Try to make healthier alternatives to the foods you regularly eat. For example: instead of eating chocolate bars, substitute it with fruits or carrot sticks.
Progression is always the key to starting an exercise program. We can start by walking for 20 minutes and progress to 30 minutes, three times per week. Exercise intensity should be maintained at a brisk pace to increase the heart rate and keep the activity challenging.
