How to Get a Flatter Stomach in Two Months

A flat, defined stomach is something that you want to show off to the world, while a bulging stomach is one that you'd prefer to hide. Aside from it being unattractive, belly fat can also be very dangerous. Too much belly fat can lead to diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer and gallbladder problems. If you combine a healthy diet with strong abdominal exercises, you can see a significant improvement in just two months.

Diet

• 1

  Blend unsweetened yogurt with live and active cultures with the fruit of your choice to create a smoothie. Try yogurt topped with chopped fruit as an alternative. Incorporate unsweetened yogurt with live and active cultures into your breakfast. The probiotic cultures will help maintain a healthy digestive system, which prevents gas and bloating.

  Eat about 10 almonds as a mid-morning snack.

• 3

  Eat a spinach salad topped with soybeans and lean chicken for lunch. Top off with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar.

  Eat a fiber-rich snack like an apple or cup of berries.

• 5

  Eat a piece of grilled chicken or grilled salmon with a side salad or homemade heart-healthy vegetable soup for dinner.

Exercise

  Put your forearms on a stability ball. Keep the hands interlocked and elbows in line with the shoulders. Bring your feet back so your body is straight. Roll the ball forward without moving your torso and legs. Slowly bring the ball back in bringing your elbows toward your abs. Do four reps daily.

  Go down on all fours as if you were going to do a push-up. Lower your chest toward the floor. Go up quickly and bring in one knee toward your chest, then the other. Bring in each leg 10 times.
