Healthy fats, protein, and vegetables are what you should eat it to get that flat belly you desire.
To absolutely maximize your results and even speed the process you should add in some aerobic exercises and strength training. Combining HIIT training, Circuit Training, running, and strength training into your weekly workout schedule is especially what I would recommend.
It’s been tested by physique and fitness models time and time again that a high protein diet with moderate healthy fats and vegetables will help give you a flatter stomach.

Before I answer this, It’s important to also be aware of foods that cause you weight gain and these are the foods you should avoid:
- Foods high in salt (take out and premade meals)
- Foods high in sugar
- Refined carbohydrates such as white flour, pasta, cakes or biscuits
