How to get a flat belly?

[NayaAbouzaid]

So I used to b 60 pounds heavier , I lost them and I am still working on my last 20 pounds. But I never really spot trained any area because I was just more concerned with getting the fat off through cardio and a healthy diet.

NOW , I've never had a flat hot belly and I would LOVE to , what should I do other than the cardio and healthy to get the final 20 pounds of fat off.

Do I do crunches? or will it flatten out automatically after losing the 20 pounds.

FYI: I do not have one of those pot bellies , its more of a droopy look on the lower part of the belly .

First it is IMPOSSIBLE to "spot train"..to see abs you need a pretyt low body fat %...the only way you are gonna see abs/muscles is by losing the fat tissue covering them...PERIOD.

You can do all theabs you want..and they still won't show..focus on losing the fat tissue..and do cardio/resistance..here are some good exercises..google it too..you want to eat a lot of protein..chicken/tuna/turkey/eggs/cheese/beef..please google these names of the exercies to learn how ok

1. bicycle crunch..this one was found to be the BEST AB BUILDER by a medical study

2.reverse crunch...lay down,lift legs in cross,and lift your lower body up..this works your lower abs

3.layind leg lifts...side leg lifts...lay down,lift leg as high as possible,do this as much time as you can...for the side leg lifts...stand,hold body uprgighth,and loft elg sideways as high as possible..

You can do crunches all day (and it will give you great stomach muscles) but the only way to have a flat belly/6-pack/etc is through nutrition. You are going to need to be on a very strict nutrition plan to get what you're asking. There are lots of forums/websites that are dedicated to this stuff and you will find step by step instructions there.

Do you mind elaborating on nutrition , I already stopped soda and junk food , I eat veggies , protein ( nothing fried) and fruits and carbs but its like brown rice and whole wheat .

That would take a looooong time to explain here, that's why you're better off going to body building/sculpting websites where it's already explained in detail. Simply stopping with the junk food and trying to eat "healthy" is not enough for the perfect body. You need exact meal plans.

You got keep doing what you are doing, but specially don't eat anything "fat" like with sugar,

Like a guy said you can't spot fat, loose in a place you want and not another otherwise we girls would never loose fat on our boobs when we lost weight if we could choose...

I never been flat but like you I lost weight working real hard with a crazy trainer and I almost have no belly fat, but I still have it and I think I will only be flat if I get really serious about what I eat so I would be "fat free"...

So work out and lots of muscle trainning and not only cardio and you will loose fat everywhere and have a very strict diet to have no fat at all...

your abs won't flatten out easily, check out some thin girls and they still have that extra somewhere...

Losing belly fat usually consists of eating right and losing weight, not so much crunches. Crunches will build muscle and define it, but fat loss comes from cardio and weight loss. You could do high intensity cardio training, where you maintain 70% of your max heart rate for 45 minutes OR you can train for a half marathon. You don't actually half to compete, just do the training.

That link will give you a good running schedule, and in the process of doing all that running you will tone and lose weight.

There's no such thing as "spot training" to lose fat. For example, if you do a lot of crunches, the muscles underneath your fat will grow and strengthen but won't burn the fat on your abs.

Continue to watch what you eat and continue to lose fat. In order to lose fat in a specific area, you have to lose fat everywhere. I wish there was a way. :)

My bad I misread it as fat belly...for a start you need to walk a lot and do crunches and cut off high calorie foods
