If you think you’re not getting that flat stomach, check first the diet you eat. No matter what you eat, if it is not the right diet, then it’s useless to get that flat stomach even you are the doing that rigorous cardio regimen.
And there are tricks that help, too. Drinking coffee—when part of a weight-loss diet—may also trim the stomach slightly, and the caffeine may speed up the metabolism. One to three cups of coffee a day helps.
A study done at University of Tennessee, implies that overweight adults on a low-calorie diet who had 1,100 milligrams of calcium daily lost 81 percent more stomach fat than those who got only 400 to 500 milligrams of calcium per day. Then getting three daily servings of dairy is a reasonable goal.
What food do I need to avoid? White, starchy carbohydrates top the list. People who chose white bread over whole grains gained about half an inch around the middle every year.
How about crunch workout position? According to Shawn McCormack, director of and head instructor at the Body, a Manhattan fitness studio, ““Crunches only work the superficial muscles at the front of your torso.” One of the best ways to strengthen them is by holding a simple plank position. For an extra challenge, lift your hips up an inch or two and then move them back.
Make sure you have the right diet and proper workout position to get that flat stomach you desire.
