Females all over the country are asking the same thing. “How can I get a flat, sexy belly so that I can wear a dangling belly button ring too?” There are a few females in this world who see celebrities in their bling revealing midriffs and instantly assume they can’t have that. We think that either they have way more time to stay in such great shape than we do, have the money to invest in personal trainers, or are just the benefactors of great genetics and youth. Despite the adverse reaction, millions of women wish they too could achieve such a sexy, flat stomach. And they should! It’s not too hard to achieve the in-shape stomach you want to serve as a canvas for your belly button rings. The most important thing to do is eat!

Yup, you read that correctly. The most important step toward getting a good belly is to eat healthily. Sure, it helps to do some exercise. That will certainly get you to your goal quicker; however it is not the most important part. The midriff area is often called “the core.” Each day as you walk around you are actually using those core muscles so they are getting a little bit of a workout anyhow.

Simple exercises that you can do include walking, running, stretching, yoga, and of course, sit-ups and crunches. By doing this, you will be burning calories, but you will also be building up the strength of these core muscles so that when you melt your belly body fat away, your sculpting work will be pleasantly revealed.

Now let’s get to the food!

A lot of the foods that are good for you may surprise you. You will actually need to eat some fat in order to lose the fat to create a beautiful canvas for your dangling belly button rings. But you need to eat the correct type of fats and these are referred to a “MUFA’s” or Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids. These types of fats actually encourage your body to burn the fat around your belly. Some of the foods contained in this group include: Olive Oil, Avocado, Nuts, Peanut Butter, and Omega 3 Fatty acids which can be found in fish such as salmon. Just imagine enjoying a Salmon Salad with Walnuts, Avocado, and dried cranberry. Does that sound like a boring “diet” meal to you?

Another easy trick is to include more fiber in what you eat. You can get either soluble or insoluble fiber as both will control your appetite, moderate your insulin and lower your estrogen levels (a fat-storing hormone). These are found in foods such as cereal, oats, barley, beans, whole grains as well as many fruits and vegetables.

There are many more tips and tricks available to help your sculpt your abs and show off some body jewelry. After you achieve your goal, the biggest stomach worry you’ll have is which hot new belly button ring will look best!
