Lately, my friend has been complaning to me about her weight. She said she was 96 pounds last year, and now she is 116. It has only been about 8 months, and I have noticed it on her too. It all went straight to her stomache. She came to me asking how to get a flat stomach, because I have one, but I didnt do anything to get it, so I cant really help her. Does anyone know a way for her to get a flat stomach by Friday, because our class is going to a water park, and she wants to wear a bikini, but she said that she needs a flat stomach. I feel really bad for her, so any ideas?
excercise plans, weight lose foods?

Alin75 answered Monday June 11 2007, 3:42 am: There is simply no way at all to achieve this by Friday. First of all crunches and situps do not target fat loss from your stomach (fat spot reduction is just a very annoying myth). So the only way to lose that fat is through good old fashioned exercise and a healthy diet. The best kinds of exercise for fat loss are those that burn the most calories. Therefore cardios (running, stairmaster, etc), sports (those where you run a lot), and also overall weight training are the way to go.
As for food, eat often (every 3 hours or so), eat balanced, avoid saturated fats, avoid junk foods, and eat about 500 calories a day less than you burn. Healthy foods include things like chicken, turkey, lean beef, vegetables of all sorts, cottage cheese (low fat if possible), fruit, oats, rice, etc. Healthy fats (in small daily doses) can be obtained from things like fish, nuts, olives, olive oil, canola, flax, etc.
This is something that will take a couple of months though. There is unfortunately no quick solution that will work for her by Friday. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
