What exercises flatten stomach and give thig gaps?

Hi , so i've read posts on thigh gaps before and lots of people are like they are horible or they are genetic. But they are not just genetic because alot of ym 'friends on MFP have them through calorie deficits but i want to know how i can get one without strarving myslelf as i know that isn't maintainable. My food diary is open if anyone wants to look and help give me suggestions there. I'd just like some tips/ ideas on exercises and foods that will help flatten my stomach and give me a thigh gap. that'd be so great thankyou!

THIS GIRL HAS MY IDEAL FIGURE . if she can do it so can i

    Umm, I'm not sure she would have a gap if she stood with her legs closed, she clearly has one knee bent to get that angle

    Are you for real or is this tongue-in-cheek trolling?

    Running helped me get a thigh gap, but so did the fact that my hips are pretty wide. So a lot of it is genetics. Small hips means that your legs have to be super tiny for you to have any thigh gap at all.

    The only thing that will give you a flat stomach is lowering BF%. And the only thing that will give you a thigh gap is lowering BF% and genetics. Some people will never have a thigh gap and be able to stay at a healthy weight.

    News flash darling - the only people that care about thigh gaps are you and the anorexics feeding your belief in their importance.*

    * Your fault for listing your skinny friends who complain they are overweight and boys as reasons to lose weight.

    THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE SEEN THIS OP POST THIS THREAD....

    it led to about 10 pages of arguments of people saying that her ideal is only obtainable by special genetics or overall fat loss from diet. she did not want to listen to anything that anybody said so I guess she decided to begin the same argument again.

    troll alert.

    Yes, your friends got a "thigh gap" from calorie deficit, because they were genetically disposed to have one at a certain weight and body composition. Genetics determine how and where you lose fat from preferentially.

    Given the other responses to you, I'm gonna guess you're not going to listen anyway. Good luck.

    To flatten your stomach, you have to exercise the inside of your diaphragm. You can do this by burping, laughing, or singing for 10 minutes every day, many times.

    To get a thigh gap, you have to hop on one foot 20 times, then switch to the other foot for 20 hops. Importantly: You CANNOT let both feet touch the ground or you must start over. Do this every day, many times.

    To accomplish both tasks at once, simply complete both activities at once.

    Good luck!

    I'm pretty sure, from the posts I have read about it, that "thigh gaps" are the new buzzword in ED ideation. Actually maybe it's not new, but it's new to me. Lots of women want their thighs not to rub, but these pictures of chicks with 2" between their legs are not healthy. And might I add, most of them are photoshopped. I have the full suite here. I can give anyone a thigh gap that wants it. And a perfectly flat stomach.

    That's where I went wrong--when i was switching feet I let both feet touch. damn.

    Join the club. It's amazingly simple to alter someone's bodyshape with it and if you know how to operate layers, incredibly easy to hide your handiwork.

    And yeah, thigh gaps are the new 'thing to have' in the pro ana circles. I almost feel guilty because I had one at over 270lbs. But nope, genetics don't play a part at all. I've seen some girls posting pictures and I swear their thighs are thinner than my forearm.

    You can't spot reduce. You can only lose overall body fat. You genetics WILL determine where you lose weight and how your bone structure will affect it also. For example, I have pretty wide hips so even though I don't have a thigh gap right now, my thighs barely touch.

    agreed. With a name like emptyplate though---that's gotta be factored in, right? lol

    yep, definitely a factor. like I said in my previous post, this is AT LEAST the *second* time she has posted this topic. you think after she got trashed before she wouldn't post a completely identical topic.

    When people say it's genetic they mean that if you store most of your fat not in the thighs, you have a chance by being healthy, just with a calorie deficit and patience.

    The people on your friends list (as well as the girl pictured) I guarantee you, either have great genetics for the presence of a thigh gap, or they are practically starving yourself. If you store most of your fat in your thighs, you will not get there by staying healthy.

    Personally I think Thigh Gaps are cool if you are like 10 and haven't gone through puberty yet.... way too anorexic looking for me.. a tad bit of meat on the bones looks better!
