Question 1

how can i flat my tammy?

Accepted Answer

Diet and exercise: There are no diet pills, supplements or elixirs out there to target the abdominal fat unfortunately. Need to exercise to help build muscle and burn calories, and you need a healthy diet that you can stick with for the long haul.  Cut out sodas, sugar, fried foods.  Seek the help of a exercise trainer or join an exercise class if you can.   Wish there was an easier way!

Question 2

how can i have a flat tommy?

Accepted Answer

Watch what you eat: A flat "tummy" really stems from optimizing your weight. For most people this means watch what you eat, but even more so, watch "how much you eat".  Caloric reduction is the mainstay for consistent weight loss.  You need to figure out what your daily caloric intake should be to allow for reasonable weight control .. this number will be based on your age, gender, height, weight and activity levels

Question 3

how long does a jia flare last?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This largely depends on the severity of the flare and if appropriate meds are being taken to end the flare.Low dose weekly Methotrexate may take 6-8 weeks to start working.TNF-inhibitors (Enbrel, Remicade, (infliximab) Humira) work much faster,often with improvement after 2-3 weeks and ending flare within 3-6 weeks depending on dose used. Short burst of steroids can help provide some relief in 2-3 days

what do i do or take to get very flat tommy?

Accepted Answer

Diet, exercise: When people are overweight, sometimes the fat is deposited inside the belly and can push it out, making the belly bulge. Postural issues can make the belly bulge too. A combination of healthy eating, maintaining a normal weight for your height, and an appropriate amount of exercise to tone the core muscles around your belly and back should result in a flatter belly.
