Article SummaryXYou may be able to get a flatter stomach in a week by making healthy food choices and exercising. Try to limit or avoid foods that are high in carbohydrates, like bread, pasta, cereal, desserts, sugary drinks, and processed snacks. Lowering your carb intake can trigger your body to start burning more fat for energy. Replace high-carb foods with protein-rich ones, like lean meats, nuts, seeds, and eggs, as well as fruits and vegetables. To prevent bloating, cut down on salty and spicy foods, dairy, and alcohol. You should also try to exercise for 30-60 minutes 5 days of the week. Do a combination of aerobic exercise, like running, cycling, and swimming, and strength training, like crunches, push-ups, and squats. To learn more from our Dietitian co-author, such as portions sizes you should be eating and other drinks to try, keep reading the article!
