Avoid Being Bloated

A lot of that belly is nothing more than trapped wind. The rest of it is solid food and liquid that is hanging out in your abdomen. This is why many of the belly fat diets start out with an anti-bloat jump-start, which lasts for four days. Eat slowly so that you do not swallow air and cut back on those bubbly drinks!

Stop Eating Bread

If you are looking to have a flat stomach, then you may want to cut out that bread. Instead of bread, try consuming some oatmeal, which is more nutritious.

7

Reduce Your Stress Level

I know, this one seems strange, but when you are stressed out, your body and mind can conspire to the fat. Cortisol, which is a stress hormone, stimulates the appetite and makes you crave fat and sugar.

Get Some Core Stability

Do you have a saggy belly? This is because you have core muscles that function poorly. Don’t bother doing those crunches. They will not target abdominal muscles. Instead, combine aerobic exercise with eating healthy. For aerobic exercise, all you have to do is walk for thirty minutes each day.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I hate the bread advice. i recently lost 45 pounds through exercising and eating right, and currently i have 14% body fat (the lowest for girls before it gets dangerous), solid abs and toned body. Saying i don't eat bread would be a HUGE lie. I eat 4-5 slices of bread for every dinner (sandwich, usually), and when i'm hungry between meals, i'll eat 2 more (before dinner, i mean)- and with chocolate spread! Of course the chocolate spread is a luxury i allow myself simply bc i exercise every single day and lose a lot of calories, so i don't recommend the chocolate for girls who wanna LOSE the weight (i'm currently maintaining only), but bread? come on. bread is good. it just has to be whole wheat light bread. look it up next time you go to the supermarket. carbs are very important for you, and for your abs and stomach in general. i eat 'em and i have rock solid abs. my ab role models are Audrina Patridge and Britney Spears, and i have to say.. i got to where i wanted. so take it from me, don't skip the bread. bread is good for you. and work out! it's so much fun (:

i agree with both BlondeNoa & Melanie. You really should cut out the bread & go for whole wheat. Whole wheat is really healthy & you still stay fit with that. Whole wheat may not taste as good as other bread but hey, at least you're eating healthy :)

I have I little puge on my belly and my goal is to loose it by spring break wish me luck:)
