Anyone Out There With A Completely Flat Stomach?

Oh yes, definitely. I've had a browse already. I've ditched most of my carbs now but still need inspiration. No low fat stuff for me either! Proper food is the way to go. Flat stomach here I come.

gettingonabit Do explore the Low Carb High Fat thread on here. Gives you a good insight into how and why. Delicious recipes and ultimately a flat, no visceral fat, stomach
See you there ?

I have just started taking inulin powder as I don't think that it will do any harm and might be beneficial. I'm not overweight and do exercise regularly but I have still got that flabby stomach.

I'm intrigued by your success, bb. Well done on your fabulous weight loss btw.

Sorry only joking
Though it is nearly there. Diagnosed diabetic in March of this year. Went on LC HF diet result, reversed diabetes, lost 2st. 6lb and nearly flat stomach. It's a bit wobbly though

Ok bb- what's the secret? Have you always had one?

Yes

Visceral fat goes first with fat loss, well, that's my understanding. Key is to maintain muscle whilst losing fat, as muscle is what is important for good shape & function.

Certainly not me! I had twins and enjoy cheese...

I hate salmon. And olive oil.

Fatty fish - omega 3 , nuts, olive oil etc was positively encouraged by DHs heart classes.

Other fats in strict moderation.

Let the tiger keep his nuts.

I'm sorry. I had to say that.

Anya do you still have blueberries with cream for brekker? Porridge with skimmed milk for me.

The jury is still out, medically speaking, re low carb high fat. Wouldn't do it myself. And certainly wouldn't do it to DH. (I want him to last me) #arteries

Anyone tried tiger nuts?

I think some are confused by the concept of LCHF....it doesn't mean you go round stuffing yourself with fats. It means you cut down on carbs ( especially the bad ones) and allow yourself a bit more fat than usual. This includes things like fatty fish, cheese, nuts, etc..and cutting out low fat processed foods which are full of nasties anyway.

No it sn't * Rowantree* But perceived by some as such There is a whole thread on GN devoted to it

I'm just very ecconomical to run. I heard that sleeping uses 600 calories. Tosh. 60 would probably see me though the night with no problem. I tried the 5:2 diet and did loose around half a stone in six months having 1000 calories on the eating days. Then we went on holiday for a week!

Now going to read up on Inulin. Try anything once.

Low carbs high fat? Isn't that unsafe?

* gettingonabit* I have got rid of my visceral fat with the LCHF diet. Jings will say that causes heart problems, but my cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure have gone down

jingl and Anya - apparently you'd need to eat huge quantities of the appropriate foods to make a difference. (Research conducted by inulin manufacturers possibly?) Nevertheless, I'm interested in trying it.

I have been passing this thread by since it started and this morning I realised why. The very last thing I would ever want is a completely flat stomach. I somehow associate it with being underweight and angular. I think a slight roundness to the stomach looks so much nicer than a dead flat one, with clothes and without.

Perhaps the stuff's more concentrated in the powder.

Why not just eat the vegetables and fruit indeed?

Genetics plays a part to a greater or lesser degree, along with other factors.
