excercise and proper diet can lessen your tummy fats...walking and jogging does help as well but you need to watch what your eating most of time..carbs can make tummy big so i guess you should eat less of that, number one would be rice..maybe you can replace it with another meal than eating rice

Tummy, do focus burn up your tummy area, sit up, or using the plastic rubber big ball, you know those for sport and exercise. And maintain your food!Take less oil food, do Sauna, Swimming, if You does not like running or jogging? Then go do sit up everyday for about 15 to 20 minutes. Anyway walk is not really help much but it's true can burn calorie but is just will not maximize reducing weight session

1. Drink water
Water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off longer term.
Water acts as an appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to false cravings/hunger.
Water also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste. When you don't drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy helps the kidneys eliminate waste and becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.
Drinking water ice cold burns about 62 calories a day. Your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body's temperature. This equals around 430 calories per week.
2. Eat regularly
This means eating 5 times a day and the most important meal is breakfast.
Make sure you fuel your body first thing in the morning to avoid hunger pangs later in the day.
When you eat 5 times a day you will never feel hungry, make sure the total calories consumed are sensible and don't over eat in any of the meals learn portion size control!
3. Eat lots of fibre
Eating adequate fiber foods to help keep things moving through your bowel. And like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel fuller for longer.
Fibre is found only in plant foods our bodies cant digest it to so it simply goes through the body. During the elimination process it cuts calories consumed by attaching to protein and fat that you eat along with it removes that as well
In addition, high fiber foods are typically low in calories and filling, so you are reducing your calorie intake overall.
Good fibre foods include: strawberries, apples, figs, chickpeas, potatoes, (with skins) broccoli, brown rice, beans, bran and nuts.
4. Consume more good fats
There are good fats and bad fats
Good fats provide you with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) needed for normal reproduction and growth, as well as for production of prostoglandin, a hormone like compound that regulates blood pressure, prevents blood clotting and lowers the risk of heart disease.
For example, the reason oily fish is a great food stems from the fact that the essential fatty acids which it contains can actually help your body burn fat more efficiently and protect against disease. Get at least three portions of oily fish a week with Salmon, mackerel, herrings and sardines being good choices. 5. Get plenty of quality protein
Quality protein is an effective weight control tool because of the satiety factor and its ability to keep you full for longer periods. It also balances out carbohydrates by preventing insulin spikes that cause energy loss and sugar cravings
Protein helps to maintain muscle mass which is important in the fat burning process.
Good choices include:
Fish, shrimps, Low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, skimmed milk, egg whites, s Weight gain is caused by consuming too many calories, whether they are from carbohydrate, protein or fat.
6. Carbohydrates can help you lose weight
Don't believe what you read about carbohydrates being bad for you, they can actually help you lose weight!
A diet containing good carbohydrates such fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and moderate in fat and calories, will result in weight loss
Good carbohydrates will also help you combat hunger pangs as they are slowly realized into the body.
When eating carbohydrates eat them "from the earth" with no refining or processing.
These include whole grains, vegetables; fruits and beans.
Sensible weight loss
If you have read the above you will see that it is not the food group, but the quality of the food in it that's important for fast weight loss.

For my stomach I do crunches. Situps are bad for your back. There are a lot of different crunches. I learned several from a Denise Austin tape for the waistline. I started out slow at first doing about 100 crunches every other day. Now I do 700 to 800 every other morning. I have abs of steel. I suggest you try Denise Austin's tapes. I'm sure you could find them by using a search engine on the net. If not, her show is on in the morning on TV.

When I need to lose weight fast I don't eat any less but I:
-stop eating sugary foods
-drink only water
-eat less meat
-go to the gym 3 to 4 hours a day, 3 or 4 days a week
This way I lose about 15 to 20 pounds of fat in a month, and I feel a lot healthier. I ease the other things in, but make sure I keep exercising.

You really have to pay attention what you eat. Too lose some body fat you have to burn more calories than you consume. If you think that just doing sit ups will help you are completely wrong. It won't help at all because sit ups won't burn your body fat, they would just make your abs stronger.
You have to run a lot, a lot of aerobic exercises (running, cycling, speed walking).

whenever i get to see that my tummy is getting bigger, i always do sit ups. atleast 50 counts in the morning and 50 in the afternoon. i try to avoid sodas and cold drinks. and i eat a lot of fruits. it really works for me. walking helps, too. but i suggest you do that same like what i am doing.
