4 Flat Tummy Quick Fixes

Looking For Some Flat Tummy Quick Fixes?

I have four, quick and easy fixes you can make to how you eat and move that will make a difference as soon as the moment you apply them!

There are 2 main reasons why you are unhappy with your belly right now…

1. The FAT that covers it

2. The way your belly protrudes

Both of these unflattering attributes can be easily and quickly solved when you make a couple quick fixes to how you spend your time exercising and what you are eating.

1. Clean Up Your Eating Habits

No amount of exercise will make the fat on your belly budge. You must get honest about what you are eating. Making small changes to what you eat has the most immediate and lasting effect on getting flat tummy results.

Once you eliminate the junk and begin to fill your body with whole natural foods – proteins, produce and healthy fats – your body responds! Not only will you begin to lose more fat, your tummy will also become flatter.

I also like to share that there 3 types of “food” that can prevent you from achieving a flat tummy even after you do make the change to healthier eating.

* Wheat

Actually it is the gluten that is is found in wheat (as well as rye, oats and barley) which makes up the majority of the Breads, Cereals, Cracker, etc. many of us eat a LOT of. Gluten is sticky substance with a consistency like glue. It’s difficult to digest and can have a disruptive effect on the digestive system, producing toxins, gas and bloating.
Take a second look at the ingredients list of the wheat based foods you are eating.

Substitute with gluten free grains such as brown rice, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, spelt, rolled oats, Ezekiel breads are great too. Or better yet allow the majority of your meal to be fresh produce!

* Dairy

Could you be Lactose intolerant? Thousands suffer from lactose intolerance. Lactose is the sugar naturally found in dairy products(milk, cheese, butter) and is poorly digested in many. Substitute regular milk with milk that contains lactase. Choose cultured dairy products, such as organic or greek yogurt, which contain less lactose (Not yoplait – read THAT ingredient list!) And even cottage cheese which has less than 2% lactose.

* Carbonated Drinks

How often are you drinking diet soda, sparking juices or waters?

Well of course your belly is going to protrude! Gas from the carbonation settles in the stomach and can even get trapped in your intestines. To double the bloat – artificial sweeteners in your diet drinks also have a bloating effect. Stick to WATER or fresh brewed green tea.

2. Stop Wasting Time On Isolated AB Exercises

I find it interesting that so many women will spend hours on “ab” specific exercises wishing, hoping and praying that this alone will help burn the belly fat and render a flat, bikini ready tummy.

Okay…you need to know that you simply cannot choose where your body loses the fat. This is called “spot reduction” and it is a myth. And really if you have this much time to spend on exercises like these – you DO have the time to double or triple your results when spend your time on more effective exercises as you change the way you workout.

3. Cut Cardio Time & Increase Intensity = Do Intervals!

Long Cardio Sessions are completely ineffective for flat tummy results. Not only do long bouts of cardio prevent you from losing body fat, especially from the belly, these sessions actually slow your metabolism and cause your body to store more fat!

Revamp your Cardio and perform Short Burst Intervals

The shorter, more-intense your session, not only will you burn more overall calories and preserve muscle, which boosts your metabolism….but you burn more fat from your belly!

PLUS…Intervals are SHORT and to the Point so you never have to worry about how to fit them in to your busy day and no….you do not need a treadmill – just your own body!

4. Make Resistance Training a Priority

Resistance training is the most effective way to reshape your body and the ONLY way to increase lean muscle.

If you Want Fat Loss Results You Must Improve Your Muscle. Muscle is your Metabolism!

Be sure to include full body workouts – targeting your upper body, lower body and core. Dedicate at least three total body routines a week.

Get the most out of your workouts by keeping the intensity high, meaning that you want your muscles to be challenged with 3 sets of 8 – 12 repetitions. This can be easily accomplished with short burst resistance training.

As I shared in the video above, the Fit Yummy Mummy Workouts that I teach and follow work your body from head to toe and they also incorporate effective core strengthening moves such as the Stability Ball Step Off. When a move like this is incorporated into a full body workout ~ you not only FEEL the effect, you see it that much faster.

You now have 4 Flat Tummy Quick Fixes to choose from…obviously the more you implement, the faster you see results.
