Sign in to disble this ad
What the hell is this? It seems to be everywhere on the Web these days! It' just advertising for some stupid berry and a "colon cleanser" (Phospho Soda, anyone?)! There is no "flat stomach rule" anyways. Exercise more and eat less. Besides, whenever I see the word "OBEY" my contrarian nature kicks in and I yell out "F-U!"!

Sometimes the after photo barely looks any better and I can remember in one instance when I thought it looked ever worse. |

| Me too. When I was in college we plastered the original stickers (Andre the Giant has a posse) all over Berkeley. One of the guys I knew was buddies with Shepard and he used to ship us boxes of 'em. Later we got posters and T-shirts and when he was in the Bay Area for some kind of conference he crashed at our place for a few days.
I didn't realize until later that he was as big a "name" as he was. I just thought of him as the "sticker and poster guy". |

There is no "flat stomach rule" anyways. Exercise more and eat less. | If there was one single rule for a flat stomach, I bet it was "run." If you run enough, you're bound to have a flat stomach - if you run fast enough, you simply can't put enough food into your mouth to make up for the calories burned
