What are the most common questions people ask about their stomachs?
I’ll bet you can guess. It is usually one of these: “Is it possible to get a flat stomach in a week?” or “How do I lose weight on my stomach?”
Well, let me answer those two questions for you right now.
It depends. And it depends on YOU.
What do I mean?
Well, let’s dig into this question a little further, shall we?
First of all, you should know that not everyone is the same. What works for one person may or may not work for another person. We are all different, and what works for one person may not work for someone else.
So then the question becomes, how do you know if a method that is supposed to help you lose weight or get rid of your stomach fat really works?
Let me give you an example of something that may answer this question. Let’s say person A does some kind of workout every day and eats the same amount of food as before. Person A should see results, right?
Well, not necessarily.
Let’s say person B does the exact same workout as person A but eats less than what his or her body needs to function properly. Person B should also see changes in their body, right?
Not really. If person B eats less than what his body needs to function properly, he will experience muscle loss.
Now, I know you probably think that this is not very effective because person A sees results, but person B doesn’t see any results at all. Now the question becomes, how can person A get results when person B doesn’t?
Well, the answer is simple. They both have different circumstances that lead to their own individual results.
Person A loses weight because his or her body burns more fat than person B’s body did in order to find energy.
Now I can hear you thinking, “Okay, but what happens if they do the same workout?”
Well, they would also see similar results. But remember what I said about different circumstances?
The only difference is that person A has a good metabolism, and person B doesn’t or vice versa.
One of them will lose more weight than the other one if they are doing the same workout with the same amount of food.
Now let’s get back to the original question, shall we?
Can I Get a Flat Stomach in a Week?
If you are eating less than what your body needs, no. If you eat healthily and do some kind of workout every day, you will see changes over time. It doesn’t matter what kind of changes you see. You will lose weight and get rid of your stomach fat if you do this consistently for a period of 7 days or longer.
That is one week, by the way. Does this mean that if I want to lose weight on my stomach in 3 months, all I have to do is workout every day and eat healthy for 3 months?
No. It is not that simple.
But, I can tell you this much. If you workout every day and eat healthy, in 3 months, your body will change significantly even though it will take longer than a week to notice these changes.
There are no shortcuts in life, guys. Remember that the next time someone tries to sell you a magic pill or some kind of secret workout.
Get Started!
If you want to get started and see results quickly, all you have to do is start eating healthy and doing your own workout.
What’s the best way to lose belly fat?
There is no easy fix. As mentioned earlier, everybody is different, and it takes time for some people to lose weight on their stomachs. Some women might see results in a week, but for others, it can take up to a month or longer.
The first thing we need to do is be patient and go easy on ourselves.
It’s a lifestyle change, not a magic trick! We need to make better decisions about our diet and exercise if we want to see results. There is no “flat stomach in a week” program that works for everybody, but there are ways you can get closer to your goals.
What to do next?
First, let’s start with a few easy changes in our diet.
You’ll be surprised how a few small adjustments can make a big difference in the way you look and feel.
Start by making these tweaks…
Last week I talked about how important it is to have a healthy relationship with food.
If you are eating too much, the fat won’t go anywhere.
It’s time to make better decisions about what goes on in our bodies.
What should I eat?
One thing that might surprise you is how nutritious iceberg lettuce can be! You can add it to a sandwich or a salad to add some flavor and crunch.
Focus on getting some protein, too! A lot of people don’t eat enough, and this leaves us feeling tired.
Try eggs for breakfast or turkey bacon with veggies after your workout.
Make sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day.
The water will flush out the toxins and help your body release the extra weight it’s carrying.
What shouldn’t I eat?
Cut down on sugar and refined carbs, as those are what make you gain fat! If you can eliminate those from your diet, then that alone will make a huge difference.
Most of us don’t eat enough protein, and it’s an important part of any healthy diet.
Try to cut back on fast food and make dinner at home instead.
It might take more time, but you’ll be healthier for it!
How do I exercise?
There are so many different exercises out there, which ones should we choose?
The best thing to do is start with cardio. This could mean running, swimming, biking, or dancing around your living room!
You want to focus on something you enjoy because it will be easier to stick with.
Next up are strength training exercises like squats and lunges. These shape the muscles which tone the body and help you get rid of that stubborn belly fat.
The bottom line:
Losing weight and getting a flat stomach is possible, but not easy!
Stop looking for “quick fixes” and start making healthier decisions about what we eat and how we move our bodies.
Take things one step at a time, and be patient with yourself!
There is no magic pill that will give you the body you want, but there are steps we can take to get closer.
If you want to do something today, tell someone how important they are to you and make sure they know it!
