Hey guys I'm try to lose weight but the main problem is my STOMACH. That is literally where all of my fat is and it bothers me so much. It makes me so self conscious. So what im asking is if you could find me what to eat and exercises to make the stomach become as flat as possible. Thank you so much!
"1. You must do some form of progressive strength training.
If you want to effectively strengthen your stomach you need to incorporate the following types of exercises:
* 1-2 forward flexion exercises (crunch, sit-up, etc.)
* 1-2 side flexion exercises (side bends, side crunches, etc.)
* 1-2 rotational exercises (trunk rotations, standing twists, etc.)
The abs, are muscles just like any other and should be worked at most 3 times per week. You also want to make sure you are training them progressively, working them harder each time.
2. Use short, hard cardio workouts to increase metabolism.
Below is a sample interval workout that can be done with just about any activity (walking, bicycling, swimming, stair climbing, etc.).
Warm up at easy pace 2-5 minutes. Perform 30 seconds of hard work (almost as hard as possible). Perform 1 minute of moderate work (recovery time-catch breath. Repeat this process 6-10 times. Cool down at an easy pace for 2-5 minutes.
3. Stable blood sugar is the key.
And most importantly, you must stabilize your blood sugar! This is by far the most important factor when it comes to burning away that excess body fat and keeping it off! To effectively stabilize your blood sugar you must feed your body frequently; like every 2-3 hours. The key is to give your body only what it needs at that time. Your body burns calories 24 hours a day, so, why would you only feed it once or twice a day? Give your body the fuel it needs: vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, whole grains, and lean proteins (chicken, fish, lean beef, eggs, etc.)."

You can pretty much incorparate them into anything you eat so just give it a try for about 2-3 months and you should see some results in the first week or two and once you do your gonna wanna keep going . good luck=) [ Katlyn's advice column | Ask Katlyn A Question ]
