Less effort, more results.
Jenna Rizzo (@jennaaaamariee) says that despite her career as a women’s fitness coach, she considers herself to be pretty lazy — and for ladies out there like her, she has a “lazy girl guide” to getting a flat stomach.
“Lazy girls deserve to have banging bodies too,” she said.

Jenna’s how-to guide includes three easy steps you can take that will help you transform your body and snatch your waist without dedicating your whole life to diet and fitness.
The 28-year-old previously told followers that it’s possible to transform your body by doing less in the gym and more in the kitchen, claiming she saw “a major difference” after she stopped working out six times a week and started doing it four times instead.
Hydration is key
You’ve heard it before and she’ll say it again: Drinking lots of water is important for just about any health goal, and Jenna recommends downing at least three bottles a day.
“I wish I could scream this from the rooftops. Water is such a fundamental key to life itself, but from an aesthetic [perspective], it’s going to do wonders for your skin and it is so good for your digestive system,” she said.
Studies show that drinking more water can suppress appetite and even speed up metabolism. One study review from 2016 found that drinking more water may even help the body burn more fat.

Lay off the booze
Cutting down on alcohol consumption can make a huge difference in how your body looks, especially because cocktails, wine and beer can make you puffy and bloated.
“Alcohol itself is a toxin, and when you drink it, it actually activates your immune system. And when it gets activated, it causes an inflammation response,” Jenna said.
Ever heard of a beer belly? While carbonation from beer can contribute to bloating, all alcohol can lead to more stomach fat.
“In general, alcohol intake is associated with bigger waists because when you drink alcohol, the liver burns alcohol instead of fat,” says Dr. Michael Jensen, an endocrine expert and obesity researcher with the Mayo Clinic, told WebMD.
Eat in a calorie deficit
You don’t have to put in hours at the gym — but Jenna says you do need to be eating in a calorie deficit if you want to lose weight.
That doesn’t mean sticking to some crazy 1,000-calories-a-day diet: Even just eating a bit less than you’re burning, over time, will add up.
In fact, eating too few calories can lead to a host of health problems that will get in the way of your weight loss goals, and it can ultimately cause your weight loss to plateau as your body readjusts and slows down your metabolism.
