How to Flatten My Stomach Fast

Everyone carries their weight differently. And if your weight tends to settle in the stomach, poor food choices and lack of physical activity can bring on a larger waistline and increase your clothing size. Losing weight and flattening the stomach isn't easy for everyone. Some people have a fast metabolism, which allows them to eat a lot without gaining weight. But if you have a slower metabolism, or simply don't exercise regularly, little changes can help you banish extra stomach weight.

Instructions

• 1

  Flatten your stomach with fiber. Too little fiber can cause constipation and bloating, which can increase the size of your stomach. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to improve digestion and help get rid of bloating, or take fiber supplements as instructed.

• 2

  Burn extra fat and calories. Exercise daily to keep your metabolism active and burn calories. Aim for 30 minutes or more of exercise a day. Good cardiovascular workouts to burn fat and calories include running, biking or aerobics.

• 3

  Drink water. Improve digestion and fight constipation with eight glasses of water a day. Regularly consumption of water also helps get rid of fluid retention in the stomach area.

• 4

  Eliminate bad foods from your diet. It's difficult to flatten the stomach when you consume unhealthy choices such as fast foods, fried foods, fatty foods and sugary foods. Make healthy selections such as lean meats (turkey, fish and salmon), vegetables and fruits.

• 5

  Concentrate on your abdominal muscles. Exercise your core muscles a few times a week to quickly flatten and tone the stomach. Crunches, leg lifts, dancing and Pilates feature movements that work the stomach muscles.
