Alex Hume: Keys to a Flat Stomach

12 June 2009 9 Comments

flat_stomachOnly a few of us are genetically predisposed to have a six or eight pack stomach. While most of us don’t look like Fat Albert either, many of us fall somewhere in between these extremes. Doing sit ups alone will not get you that flat muscular stomach. Anthropologically speaking, the stomach will generally be the last place to lose it excess fat. Our nomadic ancestors needed to efficiently store fat. The mid-section was the best place for these fat deposits. So, what is a modern day homo-sapien to do? Well, it may take a few months; however, following some basic rules will give anyone a flat, shapely, and sexy stomach.

  • Do cardiovascular workouts. This will burn fat.
  • Sit-ups - Builds abdominal muscles.
  • Do a liquid colon cleanse. Cleanses your intestine and reduces stomach size.
  • Smaller meal sizes. This will reduce stomach size.
  • Reduce meat intake to 10% of your food consumption. Meat takes 3 days or more to past through the intestine. High meat consumption will expand your stomach.
  • Increase water intake. Flushes out fat. Controls your appetite and maintains the feeling of satiation.
  • Eat organic natural food. Stay away from processed foods. Processed food clogs your intestine and expands your stomach.
  • Limit your caloric intake.

Doing the above steps will guarantee you a better looking mid-section along with better overall health.

    Agree 100%, you can’t spot reduce. You can do as many different ab exercises and a million situps a day which may develop the six-pack but if you don’t do all the other stuff (mainly the good diet + regular exercise) then you may as well forget it because it will just be buried under a layer of fat.

    totally agree with the above. Also the thing is, is that you have to convince yourself that you WANT to do it, that’s the key is the mentality, cuz i keep trying and, fast food always gets the better of me. lol

    Colon cleansing has absolutely no basis in science. It is quackery and can be detrimental to you overall health.

  • Jon BFL said:

    @Michael, not saying you’re wrong, but do you have any basis in science to show that colon cleansing can be detrimental to you overall health?

  • Michael David said:

    Yes. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=88 Written and vetted by medical professionals not with anecdotal evidence but with science based evidence.

    all you need to do is do situps eachday, start up with about 20 a day when you first start and build up gradually !! my mum got an amazing stomach with doing 100 sit ups a day for a while. any movement and exersize to the stomach will loose the fat and achieve a flat stomach.

    secondly dont eat alot of fatty foods. such as chocolate, fatty crisps, buscuits, ect. try eating low fat foods but dont take it too far !! excersing is the main method.
    eat organic foods !

    The are numbers of things that we have to consider. This list is probably not everything:
    1. Exercises - very important
    2. Fat burning diet - with this maybe exercises will not have to be so intensive
    3. Cardio exercises - running, bike
    4. Mental change – this is the hardest. It is very hard to motivate these days
    5. Eat often and less - this is also very healthy
