Shrink Your Stomach

There are 2 decidedly simple, but not so easy ways to shrink your stomach. The first way to shrink your stomach is by strengthening your core with planks. Planks are done by assuming a push-up position on the floor, but resting on your forearms instead of your hands. You are then forced to contract your core musculature forcefully in order to prevent your body from sagging in the middle. Doing this exercise every day, is the most functional, and fastest way to shrink your stomach. I have seen personal results in just over a week. I would recommend starting with 1 set a day, and work your way up to one minute holds. When you can hold the plank fairly easily for one minute you should already be seeing results.

The addition of planks to your daily routine will quickly shrink your stomach. To progress even further, I recommend adding sets, but do not go over 1 minute holds. Unless you are a highly trained athlete there is really no need for core endurance past the point of one minute plank holds. If you still want to further shrink your stomach after you can hold the plank for 3 sets of one minute each, then step it up a notch further. While creating the how much should I weigh program, I have now worked my way up to adding small increments of weight on my back as I hold the plank. This has really allowed me to shrink my stomach, and it can work wonders for you too. I would highly recommend lowering the hold time to 30 second sets once the weights are added. We are attempting to increase muscle tension, not muscular endurance. Muscular endurance will not help shrink your stomach like good old fashioned strength will!

The second way to shrink your stomach is actually even more difficult, but much more effective in the long term. It involves the systematic, and eventually permanent cutting of simple sugars from your diet. Virtually all carbohydrates, when ingested, cause extra retention of subcutaneous water. This water, when it is retained under the skin, can cause a bloating effect. This bloating effect is quite the opposite of what we are trying to do which is shrink your stomach. Of course, the worst offenders are the most unhealthy unnatural sugars such as cakes, candies, and pies. However, even whole grains, breads, and pastas will cause you to retain water if eaten too frequently, or at all in some people. By slowly, but surely eliminating these foods from your diet, and adding in healthy protein and fat, your body will slowly flush the excess water from under your skin. What is the result you ask? That is correct, it will shrink your waist! It just so happens that the long term effects of eliminating these foods are way more important than the short term. Simple sugars can lead to inflammation, and a host of other issues such as joint pain, and premature aging. So when faced with those issues you may as well begin eliminating those evil foods now, and reap the immediate benefits as well. Shrink your stomach, and you will look amazing in no time!
