Instructions

• 1

  Completely cut out all carbohydrates from your diet. While it is obvious that this means bread and starches, be aware that most fruits are high in carbohydrates as well. Take a multivitamin during these three weeks to ensure you are receiving all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs.

• 2

  Eat five or six small meals a day, at 300 calories each. By eating small amounts every couple of hours, you are keeping your metabolism at a steady rate. The longer you keep your metabolism going, the more calories you will burn during a day's time. Keep a journal of what you eat to be certain you are staying within the calorie limits.

• 3

  Do heavy cardio for at least 30 minutes a day. Follow a workout DVD or just turn on the music and work out. If you are not sweating when you are done, you didn't work out hard enough.

• 4

  Practice doing a minimum of 100 crunches a day. They don't need to be done all at once. Also, don't try and overdo it, thinking that 1,000 is better than 100. You will not flatten your stomach any faster by doing that, and may even end up hurting yourself.

  Drink dandelion tea three times a day. Dandelion tea helps reduce water retention. Women especially can hold several pounds of water within their bodies. Dandelion tea will help reduce that, and thus will help flatten your stomach.
