The loaded question we all want the answer to is how to get a flat stomach? We want to sculpt tight abs on our belly, but how? Some might answer with an exercise routine targeting the mid-section, while others might say abs are made in the kitchen.

When was the last time you were at a gathering and someone commented on how relieved they were that their partner wanted less sex?
