Stomach Hi there! I've been doing sit-ups for about...oh i'd say 2 weeks without changing my diet at all. I see a bit of difference in my upper abs, but what I really notice is the fact that when I eat, my stomach doesn't become large and bloated with food, but instead stays normal, which I'd say is a sign something's going on in there haha. If I keep doing what I'm doing and cut out the carbs I'm eating, will I see further results in terms of actually seeing the muscles in my lower abs? THANKS!

Actually there are different exercises for the lower and upper abs. Crunches and sit up alone will not work out the lower part of the abdominal muscles. Instead, try to do leg lifts [this is where you lay flat on your back and not make your heels touch the ground, also this means maybe 3inches- 6inches above the ground]. This will show major improvement to your lower stomach area. Diet is also a big play into it all. Keep up the good work, and be patient...getting a good body comes with a price! ]
Having and keeping your stomach flat does take exercise and right diet. Of course, with exercise, you need to be focused and patient. If you're a teenager, you might see further changes in a month. But if you're older, it might take time. To be successful, try to think of this as long term. So that you will not get bored with waiting for the results to appear. And yes cutting out on carbohydrates does help but do not remove it entirely from your diet okay? You still need it so you can function properly in your daily activities. Hope this helps. ]
