The obvious answer, and the one most oft repeated will be, quit drinking beer! But in addition to that, shut off the TV, dump the chips in the trash, get off the couch and get moving. Go around the block a few times, go to the gym and work out, give up junk food and start eating healthier. When you lose weight all over, your stomach will get flatter accordingly. You can do crunches and sit-ups, etc., that target the midsection, but I've heard they don't really work all that well or that fast. Practice holding the gut in when you're standing or walking, until it becomes a habit. I'm guessing you're a guy, so I won't suggest any streamlining undergarments. If you're a gal, you know what I'm talking about -- those all-in-one contraptions that smooth the figure from midsection to thighs -- they really do camouflage the bulges. Too bad they don't make 'em for guys -- Sorry!
If all else fails after you've made a conscientious effort to flatten your belly, concentrate more on your better attributes; build the muscles in your chest or arms. In other words, if you can't eliminate the negative, then accentuate the positive. Good luck! And for heaven's sake, quit watching the beer commercials!

Dear Don,
Join a gym, and get their training sessions. Make a commitment to go EVER DAY. I did this and dropped 20 lbs. in two months, and eventually took of 40 lbs. No more gut! And nice muscles and shape!
Stay away from carbs, increase protein, and hit the weights. You need cardio as well, but contrary to popular belief, weight training, when done properly and combined with proper diet, drops fat MUCH more efficiently than cardio.
WARNING: Avoid the government's "Food Guide Pyramid" like the plague. It is complete nonsense. They recently came up with a revised one which is more sensible, but it's still BS. They have the whole country loading up on carbs and avoiding protein, which has been a recipe for DISASTER for American males. This is why so many of them are pudgy and out of shape. [See my book endorsement below - that's the way to go...]
Again, get to your local gym, join it, and purchase their training sessions. The trainers will help you reach your goals. I purchased only THREE sessions, and then I just hit the gym every day. It did WONDERS. Now I'm all buff and junk...
Good luck! And keep us apprised of your progress...
Love, Jack
PS: An excellent book is "The Testosterone Advantage Plan," by Lou Schuller. It's my bible.

Stop drinking beer. Then do some sweating like in a sauna.
