The first step is NUTRITION:

Metabolism is the key. Control it and you are that much nearer to your goal. For this plan your food intake by breaking them up in 5-6 small lots. This will help you to loose the fat. You should also look after what are you eating.

The strict no-no – fast food, pasta, sugar, white bread, candy, soda, dessert, hydrogenated oils, fructose corn syrup

The food that you should have – protein, vegetables, fruit, eggs, nuts, grain bread

The second step is EXERCISE:

Aim to workout at least 4 times per week. There are 3 kinds of exercise that you need to focus on:

- cardio (walking, running, biking, swimming)
- weightlifting
- ab exercises

Cardio exercises will help you to burn the fat. To burn fat faster, the trick is to do cardio in bursts. For e.g. if you are running, walk for 1 minute and then sprint for 15 seconds. Repeat this cycle at least 10 times. You should to this type of cardio twice a week.

Weightlifting is important because it helps to burn fat faster. 3 pounds of added muscle burns the same amount of calories as a 1 mile jog. You should aim to do weightlifting 30-45 mins, twice a week.

The last but not the least are the ab exercises. There are a lot of ab exercise that you can do. Aim to work your abs at least 3 times a week.

The result of this varies from person to person. But one thing is for sure, that at the end of 3 months you will definitely see an improvement in your abs.
