Deep dives
Crunches are not the answer for a flat stomach
While crunches may strengthen your abdominal muscles, they are not the key to achieving a flat stomach or six-pack abs. The rectus abdominis muscle, which comprises the abs, is responsible for stabilizing your torso and preventing your guts from protruding. Working out only the front part of your midsection without balancing it with back exercises can lead to poor posture or back pain. To flatten your stomach, focus on addressing both superficial fat (through diet and aerobic exercise) and visceral fat (through diet and low-carb eating).
Diet, intermittent fasting, and stress management for a flat stomach
To eliminate visceral fat and promote fat burning, adopting a low-carb diet is crucial. Exercise, while important, plays a secondary role compared to diet when it comes to eliminating visceral fat caused by excessive insulin production. Foods that stimulate fat burning hormones, such as protein, can enhance the process of burning fat. Intermittent fasting, with fewer meals per day, is recommended to avoid bloating and promote better digestion. Additionally, managing stress levels, through activities like walking, exercise, physical work, and quality sleep, is crucial for maintaining a flat stomach.
Let’s talk about how to flatten your belly fast.
Crunches are not the secret to six-pack abs. To get flat abs and avoid poor posture or back pain at the same time, you need to balance exercises like crunches with other types of exercise, like back exercises.
Two of the best types of exercises for belly fat are long walks or hikes and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). While exercise is important, diet is more critical when it comes to losing belly fat.
The best fat-burning diet is the Healthy Keto® diet. This is a combination of high-quality protein, low-starch vegetables, and other nutrient-dense, low-carb foods.
Intermittent fasting is also beneficial to help you lose weight and get healthy. You may want to add more fat to your diet initially to help you fast for longer periods. But, once you become adapted and start losing fat, you may want to cut back the fat you consume.
You can take certain remedies for fat-burning, but realize these won't work unless you also change your diet.
A few of the best fat-burning supplements include:
• Garcinia Cambogia
• Raspberry ketones
• Green tea extract
• Caffeine
• Chili pepper extract
In some cases, you might mistake bloating for belly fat. Intermittent fasting can help decrease bloating. Bloating could mean you also need more acid in your stomach. Betaine hydrochloride is the best remedy for bloating caused by a lack of stomach acid. A lack of bile can also create bloating. In this case, you could try taking bile salts.
Top foods that cause bloating include:
• Fruit
• Yogurt
• Beans
• Grains
• Almond flour
• Sugar alcohols
• Tapioca fiber
• Soluble corn fiber
• Plant-based green shakes or protein shakes
If you have IBS or an inflammatory condition in your gut, you may want to try the carnivore diet for a little while to see if that helps reduce bloating.
To flatten your stomach fast, you also need to lower your stress. Walking, physical work, and getting plenty of sleep are great ways to reduce stress.
If you’re going into menopause, it’s also essential to support your adrenal glands to help avoid stubborn belly fat down the road.
