I'm petite in size and my stomach has technically always been the smallest part of my body. But it was never really "flat", well, not since I was about fifteen. My main problems that were prohibiting me from a flat stomach were
1) Too much salt and sodium. This was from more than one diet soda a day, and sodium from things like boullion cubes, and wheat. Although these things weren't making me gain weight, they contributed to mere bloating of my lower stomach. While I still consume these things, I keep myself under extreme moderation.
And 2) I was only doing upper ab exercises. Until doing a little research I was clueless on how to target my lower abs. I have greatly benefited from simply lying flat on my back, with my legs in the air, knees bent to a 90 degree angle, and lowering them until my feet are 3 inches from the ground. - Combined with upper and side abdominal exercises, there's no pudge or bloating. I also have added servings of apples to my diet. They have hardly any sodium are an energizing and filling snack.
