Using pills to lose weight is dangerous and often ineffective. When there is noticeable results from pills, it is short-lived. If you want a flat stomach without pills, put together a workout plan that includes aerobic exercises and exercises specifically designed to target the abdominal muscles. An effective exercise program paired with a healthy diet is likely to give you the stomach you want.

Step 1

Eat a diet of healthy foods. Use fruits and vegetables as a large part of your meals. Incorporate low-fat to fat-free milk products, whole grains and lean proteins to create a healthy, balanced diet.

Step 2

Perform aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercise increases your metabolism for periods of time, allowing you to burn more calories. Find an aerobic activity that you can do on a daily basis, yet something you enjoy doing. Some examples of fun aerobic exercise include, running, biking, skiing and dancing.

Step 3

Tighten abs with the leg lift. Sit down on the floor with your knees bent. Your feet should be touching the floor. Place your hands palms down a few inches above your thighs. Keep your back straight. Lean back a bit, tighten you abs and lift your feet. Turn your upper body toward your left, touch the floor next to your left hip with your hands. At the same time, bring your legs to the right. Do 10 repetitions, then switch sides.

Step 4

Roll muscles into form with the roll up. Lie on the floor with your knees pulled to your chest. Use your hands to hold your shins. Breath in and pull in your stomach muscles. Roll up into a sitting position, balance on your tailbone. Return to your original position. Perform five to 10 repetitions.

Step 5

Crunch abs with the crunch beat. Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Lift your legs so that your calves are parallel to the the floor. Put your hands behind your head with your elbows pointing out. Tighten your stomach muscles and pull your shoulders and upper back up. Stretch your legs diagonally up with your ankles crossed. Stretch your arms over your head. Hold this position while you switch feet over and under each other eight times. Return to original position. Perform eight repetitions
