In this article, I summarize the reasons why, despite doing a lot of sit-ups and dieting, you can’t get a flat stomach. What are you doing wrong?
Today I’ll explain how to get a flat stomach.

Make yourself comfortable because what you will read here in large part you will not find it anywhere, guaranteed!

HOW TO GET FLAT BELLY: THE MISTAKES YOU ARE MAKING

1. You are not training properly or you think your abs are “doing in the kitchen”.

   Gira ‘is a nice story about which abdominals are done in the kitchen.
   What does it mean? That diet matters 90% if you want to get a flat stomach.
   Eat everything clean, no sugar, no fat, even no salt. But it is not like that.
   If you have a problem with belly fat , you need to train it . Point.
   And you have to do it every day as well.
   This does not mean that you can eat a bison later. Maybe eat a slightly low calorie diet, but it’s not just the choice of foods that matters. It’s not that if you eat fat-free or carbohydrate-free, you get sculpted abs.
   Training here is not only essential, but you have to do it every day as well! And you will see that it is also pleasant if you follow what I recommend.

2. Wrong exercises.

   Most people I know who go to the gym can’t do situps. Now, it is perfectly useless to use weights, bands or who knows what else if they are then loaded on the neck and back.
   The only thing you will get is getting hurt and training badly.
   To understand how wrong you are exercises, just do some that are only successful for those with trained abs, like this one . If it seems impossible to you, you think you have short arms or something, it means that your abs are not trained enough.
   If you use loads to train you will also not get a flat stomach, but a belly with part of the muscles that are swollen, which protrude. The aesthetic result is not great, especially if there is abdominal fat on top of the muscle.

3. You’re stressing yourself out with your diet, calories, portions.

   The number one enemy of the flat stomach is cortisol, the main stress hormone. It is perfectly useless to search for the perfect diet if you feel deprived all the time. Better to focus on a flexible diet or an 80/20 type diet .
   The one in which you can give yourself a free whim a day.

4. You eat things that make you digestive.

   If you are not regular in the bathroom, if you eat foods that cause you to bloat, well, this is not normal. Point. Stop. I know a lot of people who think they eat healthy and fail to understand that there is no such thing as healthy eating that is right for everyone.
   Legumes are healthy, but if I can’t digest them in any way, I’ll go further.
   Keep a digestion diary for a week.
   If after eating you have: excessive sleepiness and apathy; swelling; feeling of small cramps or pins in the belly; retention, then you are eating things that cause you inflammation.

   Often the problem is either the combination of foods (you eat spaghetti and then a slice of watermelon) or the presence of fiber or food additives (carrageenan, lactic acid, xanthan) that cause irritation. Start with the simplest foods, in their purest form, for your digestion diary. Then try the variations.

   For example, if normal milk bothers you, try delactosed milk or goat milk. If wholemeal pasta bothers you, perhaps the germ of the grain is causing you problems.
   Remember that fruit, if you have already eaten a plate of pasta, potatoes or bread, can create intestinal fermentation. The skin of dried fruit (almonds, walnuts) or the peel of fruit are problematic for many people. After 7 days of experimenting, you should already have an idea of ​​the things that are bothering you the most.
   As you continue with the diary, your belly will start giving you much clearer signals about foods that are problematic for your digestion.

5. You don’t eat balanced.

   By “balanced eating” I mean pairing a protein food with a carbohydrate based one.
   It is not okay to eat only proteins or to eat only carbohydrates.
   So: pasta and legumes is balanced, pasta and shellfish is balanced, rice with chicken is balanced.
   Risotto with saffron no. Steak and salad without anything else no.

6. Chew quickly.

   Another big, underestimated, mark error. The food must be chewed for a long time, the bite must go down into the esophagus which is liquid. No laziness here. Otherwise the gut has to do four times the work to get the nutrients, and if it doesn’t, the only thing you’ll have are deficiencies.

7. Get little sleep.

   We are always there, you raise the stress. Try to balance your daily activities so that you take some time to unplug.

8. You drink or eat too many sweetened foods.

   I would just avoid it. This continuous stimulation of the sweet taste of sweetened foods is not the best for your metabolism, at the level of receptors we give wrong information to our brain and our intestines.
   Sweet but without glucose.
   Food but with zero calories.
   Although scientific opinions are still conflicting today, listen to me: I would avoid eating sweetened stuff. Especially zero calorie drinks consumed on an empty stomach. The stevia in the cake is not a problem, the coke drunk all day on an empty stomach maybe yes.
   Now that you’ve made it this far, let’s summarize the tips you need to follow on page two, and the easy training schedule that will give you results.
