flat stomach...

i was wondering if there is any particular food/exercises to get a flat stomach...i still need to lose weight, but though there could be a way of focusing the weight loss of my tummy?

you will lose weight as your body likes too...

BUT

Eating non-prcessed foods,water only as a beverage and small frequent meals will reduce bloating in that area. So it would appear that you lose more.

Exercises - google that. There are a ton free ones out there.
I just hold my muscles as tight as i can for a count of 10- 15x -3x a week. Gives me results. But I have a lowish body fat (20%) and build muscle easily.

I just started an ab workout, and man it works the muscles, they are all scruches, you pull your legs up to your nose (raising your head at the same time) for the lower tummy, regular scrunches for the upper tummy and side scrunches, the first time I did this I was sore for 3 days.

Unfortunatly, you body does not 'loose fat' in the areas that you work at like people thought in the past.  No matter how much you work your tummy, you arn't going to burn the fat there faster than how your body determines where it will take the fat from first.  In other words, you body packs on and takes off fat in sort of an order that is somewhat unique to you.  This is why some folks have big bottoms and slim tops.

The abdominal excersizes will help to 'hold your tummy' in a bit and make it more muscular though.  There are a ton of them online you can google.  Scruches are great.  Also, try lying on your back with your legs stretched out and elevate your legs about 6" off the ground for 30 seconds a run.  That is killer.

I'll tell you what... I've never liked pop or anything with carbonation because it bloats my belly.  I've never liked heavy foods either, like steak or heavy breads, because it bloats my belly.  OH and stand\sit up straight and suck it in... I've done that since I can remember (my mom used to tell me when I was 7!).  Oh and I've never had a problem with my stomach, even at 195 lbs.

My stomach is proving to be the last place to hold onto fat.  To make your body line "look" better you should be holding your stomach in the entire day. I don't mean sucking it in, just thinking about posture and pulling your belly button back toward your vertebrae if that makes sense.  My sister is hilarious, she talked to her doctor and realized that even though she is super skinny she has no abdominal muscles because she has never held her stomach in which continually works your abs. 

Ab workouts will provide muscle behind your fat and make it easier to see your flat stomach once you lose weight but it won't make it thinner as many people have noted above about spot reduction being impossible.

Also, I've read about 3 articles now that recommend the following 12 foods with your diet and exercise to see better toning results in the abdomen.  If you look at them it's pretty obvious that these are good fats, protein, etc.  Everything you should be eating in a balanced diet anyway.

1. Almonds/Other nuts 2. Beans/Legumes 3. Spinach/Green Veg 4. Low fat dairy (skim milk, cottage cheese, yogurt) 5. Oatmeal 6. Eggs 7. Turkey/Lean Meats 8. Peanut Butter 9. Olive Oil 10. Whole Grain Bread 11. Protein Powder 12. Raspberries/Other berries
