For most people the jelly-belly is a troublesome area. Fat deposits there and without serious effort on your part it will stay there and anyone who has spent months on end doing sit ups and only sit ups to lose the belly fat will tell you that sit ups alone are not the answer. The key to busting the belly is to lose the layers of fat that are covering up your abdominal muscles and then work the entire core area, which includes your back and your upper, lower and transverse abdominis.
Pilates, planks and working with an exercise ball are all great ways to whittle your core and there are several machines in the gym that can help you slenderize your middle. Be sure to practice proper form, since improper form can lead to back injury and soreness.
The other key to great abs is losing the fat that is covering the abs you already have. Studies have shown that a lack of vitamin B12, which is necessary for breaking down fat, can lead to fat around the waistline. A great source of B12 is in nearly every kitchen in America; the incredible, edible egg. So instead of reaching for a bagel, try whipping up a quick omelet with peppers, onions and garlic. Then put a few of these slow metabolizing fruits on the side; apples, cranberries, grapefruit, mango, oranges, pineapple, raspberries or strawberries. Ingesting low fat dairy can also help you to lose stomach fat, so have a glass of milk or a cup of yogurt with your eggs.
Now that is a breakfast fit for a queen or king.
