The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

The stomach sticks out because GRAVITY is pulling on it, stretching the muscles. This is what happens to your butt , too.
Lie on your kitchen floor.
Knees up.
Feet down.
Put your feet up under the bottom of your kitchen cabinet.
Put your hands across your upper chest.
Raise you upper back 1/4 up off the floor.
HOLD - your goal is 20 seconds.
FEEL your stomach shake.
Do not go higher up than 1/4 up off the floor. If you do, your sides and back muscles are pulling you up. Try this; go up higher, your stomach stops shaking.
Do not put your hands behind your head; if you do, you are pulling yourself up.
Do this every day. Once a day.

We will have a little bit of one or we would look anorexic. We want to look good but its hard for us since we have to eat. Bloating will cause this too, but at least it not but once a month, hopefully

The best thing that flattens my abs is doing crunches on an exercise ball.

i think that you should eat light things and walk everyday for half an hour at morning and evening. you shouldn't eat chocolate and always eat the food that had less calories or no calories.
