Clean eating is the only way to get a flat toned tummy. There is really no secret, so pay attention to what you are putting in your mouth and stay hydrated. It makes me upset when I hear girls think you need to starve yourself to reach the weight you think is 'healthy'. You should never deprive your body of the nutrients it deserves! Work on improving your metabolism by cutting out sugar and processed foods and your body will love you for it! I eat more then I ever have now and that's mainly because I really care about what I put into my body and I have worked on my metabolism.

1- Never miss breakfast
2- Do weights to reduce my body fat
3- Do cardio for my fitness levels
4- Drink green tea to flush toxins and drink lots of water to stay hydrated
5- No sugar or processed foods
6- Drink lemon and water every morning for detox
7- Eat  wholegrain low GI carbs for energy (in the morning) Who every says you shouldn't is crazy unless you are intolerant.
8- Eat chili to boost my metabolism
9- Eat all my food groups daily
10- Spend time with the people I love (stress impacts your weights and mental health)

They are things I do daily without fail. Try be positive everyday and set yourself goals. You need to take action to see results that your proud of :)
