SCULPT AWAY THE FATS: WAYS TO DO IT

Central obesity also known as pot belly , beer belly,beer gut and abdominal obesity is when excessive fat around the stomach and abdomen has built up to the extent that it is likely to have a negative impact on health.The fundamental cause of obesity is unknown, but is presumably a combination of the organism's genes and environment. 
Health hazards associated with obesity are :

  • Heart diseases
  • Asthma
  • Psychological problems
  • Arthritis
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes

Belly fat can be really annoying and disfiguring too. here i share a few tips to burn belly fat:


1. Always eat something healthy after you wake up and before you work out to start up your metabolism and keep it revving.

2. Make salads the main star of your meal, since they fill up your stomach and don’t have too many calories.

3. Go easy on the store-bought dressings,colas,jams,jellies,ketchups,better avoid them.

4. Drink lots of water throughout the day.

5. Do not entirely skip carbs. Instead, try to eat a limited amount of carbs every day to keep your body’s need for carbohydrates in check. For instance, if you like roti cut it down to 1 roti instead of 2 or 3.

6. Always go light on dinner. Dinner is the time when your body starts to wind down for the day, so stay away from anything heavy. Plan a light meal for the night, like a clear soup, a piece of chicken with half a cup of salad, or maybe just a fruit or a glass of milk.

7. Plan on getting enough sleep. Sleep early since you’re having a light dinner. Staying up late will make you feel hungry again and you’ll need to eat.

8. Don't try and spot reduce : it had been shown by various studies that local exercises like abdominal crunches only help to build muscles in that area and not help in removal of fat from that area.

9. Manage stress as stress can cause binge eating.

10.Starch and sugar  combined with fat  may represent the worst combination for fat gain.

BIG BREAKFAST , SMALL DINNER. MYTH BUSTED



In this article I m trying to scientifically figure out weather breakfast or dinner is an important meal for weight loss.Is the  familiar phrase “Eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a pauper”? true. Well, according to a new study published in the journal obesity., if you want to lose weight, that may be the way to go.
Ninety-three obese women were provided with a 1,400-calorie diet for twelve weeks. The participants were divided into two groups; half ate 700 calories at breakfast, 500 calories at lunch, and 200 calories at dinner, while the other half ate the reverse: 200 calories at breakfast, 500 calories at lunch, and 700 calories at dinner. Both groups lost weight, however, the large breakfast eaters lost substantially more (18 pounds compared to 8 pounds) and lost more inches from their waists (3 inches versus 1.4).

The study is highly controlled as in our daily life it is difficult to limit our meal to 200 calories.It is said that breakfast revs up your metabolism in the morning,staved off hunger which is beneficial in losing weight . on the contrary..

In a new study, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Nutrition Obesity Research Center and other institutions found that eating or skipping breakfast had no effect in how much weight was lost over a 16-week period.
If we eat less calories at dinner ( with less carbs) the energy utilized in maintaing the basal rate of the body is more than the energy consumed and hence may aid in weight loss.
So the secret to weight loss is healthy breakfast of about 500 calories and small dinner 3 hours before sleep.
