I want to flatten my tummy

Published by

I am a 50 year old woman with four children and two grandchildren. Although I have been able to keep my figure, the latest lockdown which led me to stay home without exercises and lots of eating has made me to put on an excessive amount of weight most of which is in my tummy. I will appreciate your kind advice on how I can get rid of the fat in my tummy. Thanks.

One of the fastest ways to flatten your tummy fat is the need to cut off your sugar intake. Sugar add in a lot of calories you are not even aware of from several sources such as sweets, soft drinks, alcohol, fruits among other sources. Once you remove sugar, you can finally give your body a chance to detox, heal and switch up to fat for fuel. Although you may feel very awful during the first three days of the ‘no sugar’ diet, things will quickly change in your favour and fat will start to fall off your body and tummy. Another quick way to flatten your tummy is to reduce your food intake and also stop snacking and eating at every hour of the day. Stick to a meal schedule and make sure you eat this particular time every day. This will help you increase absorption of the nutrients and also help your body switch in and out of burning fat.
