Weight loss hacks: 14 days to flat abs
Focus on vegetables
Vegetables are flat-stomach miracle workers. Stick to the green varieties, such as broccoli, green beans, peas and spinach for their high-fiber content. But cook them slightly before consuming, as raw foods are more difficult to digest and can cause stomach bloating, which is the opposite of what you want. Same thing with legumes, such as beans and lentils—try to consume them in moderation because they contain cellulose, which causes intestinal gas.
