Plan to get a flat stomach once and for all

Attack your six-pack

Girls, let's get down to business! It's that time of year when we face the mirror and "Oh my God! What happened to my body?!" No, nothing happened, just remember all those months ago when we ate as if there were no tomorrow, thinking we wouldn't gain weight, that it was the clothes shrinking (I'm trying to add a touch of humor, but it's something that is actually very important to us).

I could write articles about the famous "bikini operation" every year, but my message is and always will be the same: it's not a summer plan, nor is it a flat stomach plan, it's about adopting healthy habits for life.

Precisely for our waistline, it's not good to have weight fluctuations every year, and it's the same every single year, up and down like a yo-yo. So this year, girls, I propose that the flat stomach plan transforms into "Wasp Waist for life." Isn't that a good idea?

Before giving guidelines or formulas that can help, I want to emphasize that it's also not about obsessing over always having the same weight or measurements. Girls, that's practically impossible for women! We always fluctuate by 2 or 3 kilos; it's normal, nothing happens, we have a very complicated hormonal system, and our body sometimes gains or loses one or two kilos.

Okay, let's set the scene: we've gained a few kilos after winter or the Christmas kilos are still there. So we start eliminating all the toxic food that we know perfectly well ruins our plan:

• Soft drinks or sugary drinks
• Sugar (and if you can avoid overusing sweeteners, even better)
• Processed foods: pastries, trans fats, etc.
• Junk food (at least 3 weeks without thinking about it!)
• Fried or breaded foods

Tips to regain a flat stomach

Once all the above has been removed from our list, we must permanently include the food that will help us lose weight and gain health:

• Real food: Fruit, vegetables, meats, fish, nuts, olive oil, whey protein, skimmed dairy products, legumes
• Simple cooking: try to ensure that all foods are as minimally processed as possible: grilled, steamed, stewed, baked.
• Use spices for cooking and to flavor your dishes
• Eat 5 to 6 times a day
• Feeling hungry is normal; being hungry for hours and hours is not. So try to eat every 3-4 hours.
• I don't advise you to use salt for cooking, or in any case, very little (I never use salt)

We already have the food; now let's move on to physical exercise. It's not about training for the Olympics, but 3 or 4 days a week, combining weights with cardiovascular exercise, is ideal. Get moving! Here's a specific training plan for women that can help you.

It will be very helpful to use a thermogenic like Weider's Thermo Caps. It accelerates fat loss, gives you energy, and reduces hunger and cravings for sweets. For me, it's a wonderful supplement.

Doing all this for one week or a few days, or one day yes and two days no, won't work for me. Girls, the key is to be consistent. After three weeks, a "special meal" as I call it (I really dislike the expressions "diet break" or "cheat meal") is more than advisable. Within what is a healthy meal and a wasp waist for life, it includes eating different things; you don't have to deprive yourself of what you like, but always in moderation and once a week (remember, you have to hold out for the first 3 weeks!)

I sincerely hope these tips help you, and I wish you proudly show off your wonderful waist with a healthy and worked body.
