It's not about what foods you should avoid it's about what foods you DO eat and HOW you eat them.
1. Eat slowly. Don't scarf down food like it's gonna disappear if you don't eat it now. Take your time and savor it.
2. Don't eat till your full eat till you're satisfied. This is the biggest weight loss advice ever that no one ever takes. We all think that when your hungry you should fill yourself until your belly feels tight and you can't eat anymore. Wrong. Eat an amount that takes the hunger away then just stop. Everyone has two alerts for thier stomach. One that's says your satiated and one that says you need to freaking stop. Problem is we eat so fast we don't even recognize the first alert.
3. Understand what your eating and what you need. Eating sweets are fine. Eating chips and fatty foods and pizza is all fine. The problem here is people treat thier body like compsost heaps. If it's edible it's fuel for my body right? This is true but your bodies like a car. Yes you need gas. Your body needs carbs but you also need to add a little oil in sometimes, check the wiper fluid, change some spark plugs. Your body needs a variety of things in order to function. Most of those things can be found in Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and meats. You don't have to go overboard and stick to some strict diet if you can remember that when you're hungry if you go for the options that are more likely to have the stuff you need your body will crave less. The stuff you need (to avoid specifics) can generally be found in fresher foods. Instead of getting a bag of chips eat an orange. Both are just sugars but one is like sugar+. Instead of eating a hot pocket eat an egg. Cook your own meats. Generally speaking you can just guest. Most people already generally know what's the healthier choice they just don't choose it. I don't consider junk food to be food I consider it candy because I know nutrient wise it's about the same.

So in short you don't need to cut anything out. Just change the way you think about eating.

Guaranteed to have abs:
1. caloric deficit every day to lose weight (search google for a simple daily maintenance caloric level calculator)
2. strongly avoid "enriched" flours, namely, white carbs/pasta/pizza/white breads/pastries/pies, etc. This is not to confuse with all carbs, don't declare war on carbs, you need them, just get your carbs from wholesome whole grain sources.
3. strongly avoid sweets and soda, have a weekly cheat meal to stay motivated for the long-term.
4. Lift heavy 5-6 days a week. Don't text in your work out, you must sweat and traumatize your muscles.

There isn't really a food to avoid or to eat to get a flat stomach. You should pay attention to the calories you take in. If you get skinnier, your stomach will become flatter.
You can also try to work out your abs a bit so they become more easily visible if you're skinny and you could look at your posture.

Salts, will make you retain water. Causing "bloating" and hence a little pouch. Consume more water, eliminate juice OR if not limit it. Sugars don't do you justice either.

Most studies have proven that dieting is for the most part useless. Dieting works best to 'maintain' a good figure, NOT create it. You need to exercise to really lose some fat. Crunches and Running are the best exercises to get a flatter stomach.

Other than the usual greasy stuff... tank on soft drinks too. Get lean on everything, reduce your plate sizes, no seconds no matter how good it tastes. Do three snacks a day rather than big meals.

You don't have to avoid anything if you have a high will power. Eat mainly whole foods and you can eat something processed 2 or 3 times a month
