Where is My Waist? It Boils Down to Excessive Fat Accumulation

When we take too much food at one time, in order to pay attention on the storage efficiency in our body, the liver will convert the food into glycogen, while the excessive parts to visceral fat.

For Men

When the number of fat cells grow, the stomach get bigger, and the waist will grow horizontal rapidly, forming "apple-shaped obesity", the belly of most middle-aged men are caused in this manner. The energy stored in visceral fat will be able to supply for the internal organs to function; which implies, when the apple-type obesity people reduces the calorie intake, or when the calorie intake is insufficient to supply the required for basal metabolism,visceral fat which was stored earlier will be burn to supply energy for the operation of the organs. So, in short, a good control of total calories intake can easily helps to reduce visceral fat.

For Women

Women mostly "pears type obesity", this range of people have butterfly sleeves, inner thighs, waist, and hip fat is called subcutaneous fat, which makes ladies more difficult to achieve weight-loss goal.

Do A Self Check Here

There is a term "Leftover Women, Leftover men" which i usually refers to people who accumulated exessive amount of "leftovers" wastes and calorie in their body. They used to practice poor habits and lead a poor lifestyle, which also makes them to be the high risk community of poor metabolism, not only affecting their health status but also leading them towards FATNESS!

Let's do a simple test, we have a checklist here, and let's see how many items you have checked. If you check more than 3 items, oops! You might have become "Leftover Men, Leftover Women" without you noticing it!

• Frequent outside food with irregular meals
• Dislike Beans, Fruits, Vegetables, Algae (Seaweeds) type of food
• Enjoyed having meat, high-fat food (deep-fried, junk food)
• The speed of eating is far more higher than the normal - Are you always the first to finish your meal?
• Often stay awake late, have supper
• No breakfast, or only takes coffee
• No poo poo everyday (constipation)
• Seldom drink water
• Seldom exercise
• Have bad breath, bad temper
• Bad smell farts, shit comes in dark colour, sticky or with blood
• Always feel tired, anxiety, cold hands and feets 

My friends shared they have 3 meals daily, but not once for defecation. The food that we consume is already a few kilograms, which means these food that we consume has become a bunch of rubbish waiting to be digested, also contributes to your weight! Therefore, a sincere advice to everyone who wish to lose weight, ensuring a good discharge daily is very important, there are also people who had successfully lose weight by just improving on this.

We understand busy working adults used to eat outside food, but a fact that everyone know but not to take it into consideration is that outside food are mostly high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar, with excessive additives which will cause no benefit to our body, and even defects the metobolism rate. When our body couldn't metabolize well, it will then boils down to fat accumulation, FATNESS or even OBESITY.

Meat lovers, hate vegetables and fruits or even beans. This will easily turns us to an acidic body, which boils down to all sorts of blockages and chronic diseases. Diet Suggestions & Super Foods to Keep You Fit & Healthy

No More EXCUSES

Daily Exercise and Weight Loss

By now, most ‘New Years Resolutions’ to lose weight, get fitter, daily exercise, achieve a healthier lifestyle and weight loss – have at worst become a distant, guilt-laden memory, or at best lost their momentum and the prospect of the approaching ‘beachwear’ season with obligatory exposure of ‘less-than-wonderfully-toned’ wobbly bits become a bit scary! Fret not – help is at hand to lose weight!

A ‘daily dose’ of exercise is the way to weight loss and a healthy body and mind but only 24% of women and 35% of men actually do the government’s recommended ‘30 minutes of at least moderate exercise 5 times a week or more’. Introducing regular exercise into your life is probably easier than you’d think, and subtle lifestyle changes can improve weight loss, health, posture, well-being and confidence! Activity can be introduced into your daily routine and can make a world of difference in losing weight.

Starting the day with ‘daily’ exercise

• Whilst brushing your teeth – march on the spot – a great fitness exercise
• When towel drying your back – relax your shoulders, grasp one end of the towel near one shoulder and the other end by the opposite hip so that the towel lies diagonally across your back – dry your back up and down in a diagonal direction, then switch sides
• If you travel to work by car, try to sit tall and don’t slouch
• If you’re sitting on a bus or train, sit tall and hold in the muscles in the lower abdomen for 10 seconds, then release and repeat this through your journey
• Get off a stop earlier and walk briskly for the remainder of your journey. Do the reverse for your homeward journey and you may be able to clock up 20-30 minutes of exercise each day and watch the weight drop off

Exercising at Work

• Avoid using the lift, stair climbing is a great workout and can strengthen and tone your hips, legs and buttocks and great for weight loss
• Ensure your workstation is correctly set up and allows you to maintain a good posture with no straining
• Get up from your desk often
• Try this thigh toner: – sitting at your desk with feet flat on the floor, squeeze a bottle of mineral water placed between your thighs
• At the photocopier, stand tall and using the copier for balance, raise one leg behind you or to one side, keeping it straight. Repeat 8 times and then switch to the other leg
• At lunchtime, walk briskly to the shops/café – then fresh air will also do you good and help with losing weight


Not having time to exercise is the number one reason people give for not exercising. I do like the fact that you’re walking 20 minutes at lunch time. This shows you’re trying and really care about your health.

Don’t worry. Here are 5 easy to perform movements that you can do at your desk while at work. The exercises will help to get your muscles tighter and keep your mobility intact.

If possible, try to do these exercises in succession. If you’re unable to, then perform 2-3 exercises in a row and then continue the program when time permits. Ideally, I recommend doing the exercises twice per day while at work. However, it’s designed for you to use whenever possible during the long work day.

Perform 12-15 repetitions for each exercise (excluding the Abdominal vacuum) and then repeat each an additional time. The exercises can be performed each day.

Abdominal vacuum

Starting position:
• Sit tall in your chair

Movement:
• Start by exhaling absolutely every bit of air from your lungs.
• Pull the navel towards the spine as if I just told you to suck in your stomach. Continue to breathe lightly through your nostrils, but make sure you’re pulling your navel in as tight as possible.
• You must hold the contraction very tight for at least 40 seconds.
• Benefit: In time, you’ll notice the abdominal area pulled in flatter. This exercise provides benefit with no crunches or repetitious movement.

Seated office chair leg extension

Starting position:
• Sit on your office chair with your feet on the floor spaced about 12 inches apart.

Movement:
• Contracting the quadriceps muscles, extend one leg (bending at the knee) until it is straight. The toes should be pointed up.
• Slowly return to the starting position.
• After completing the set on one side (12-15 reps), repeat on the other side.

Key points: • Exhale while lifting the leg.
• Inhale while returning to the starting position.

Water bottle alternating front shoulder raise

Starting position:
• Sit straight with your knees slightly bent and feet shoulder-width apart.
• Hold a water bottle in your right hand with your arm in front of you and your palms lightly resting on your thighs

Movement:
• Contracting the front shoulder muscles, lift your right arm in front of you until it is slightly above shoulder height.
• Slowly return the right arm to the starting position stopping just short of the weight touching your legs.
• Raise and lower your left arm in the same manner.
• After completing 12-15 reps on the right side, switch to the left.

Water bottle biceps curl

Starting position:
• Sit upright, feet forward and your head a natural extension of your spine.
• Hold a water bottle in your right hand with the arms hanging down at your sides and palms facing your body.
• Keep your wrists straight throughout the exercise.

Movement:
• Contracting the biceps muscles, bend your right arm at the elbow while turning your wrist until your palm is just short of touching your shoulder.
• Slowly return to the starting position stopping just short of the elbow fully extending.
• After 12-15 repetitions, repeat on the other side.

Key points:
• The upper arm should remain stationary throughout the exercise.

One-arm tricep kickback

Starting position:
• While seated, bend forward very slightly.
• Hold a water bottle in your right hand or just make a fist. Bend the elbow at a 90-degree angle pointing behind you with the upper arm not quite parallel to the floor.

Movement:
• Contracting your triceps muscles, move your lower arm back until the bottle or fist is pointing away from your body to the rear of the room.
• Slowly return to the starting position.
• After completing the set on the right side, repeat on the left side.

Key point: • Your upper arm should remain stationary throughout the exercise.

Exercise at Home

• Walk up and down stairs a few times – especially if you’ve been seated all day
• Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil or talking on the phone, rise up onto your toes, squeeze your buttocks together and gently bend your knees then straighten up again. Repeat a few times
• Instead of using the remote control, sit on the edge of your seat, keep your back straight, stomach tucked in, buttocks squeezed then stand up and sit down 5 times before getting up to change TV channels

Housework Exercise

• When vacuuming, use long drawn out movements and use your whole body rather than just the arm; draw in your abdomen and take deep breaths. When ironing, stand tall and pull in your abdomen
• When loading/unloading the washing machine or dishwasher, try repeated squats, keeping legs slightly apart and your back straight – lower slowly but don’t go so low that you can’t get back up again!

Socialising and Exercise

• Meet friends slightly earlier and have a 30-minute walk together before or after your dinner/movie
• Enjoy social activities such as a swim, bike-ride or dancing – it makes a change from eating and drinking!
• Take turns to choose an activity for you all to do – you’ll end up trying things you might not have thought about – who knows, it may open up whole new horizons!

So, if you need to exercise but don’t know where to start, perhaps try to incorporate some of these suggestions into your daily routine. It could help inspire you to make your lifestyle more physically active. Good luck and enjoy!

It’s a good idea to consult your GP or chartered physiotherapist before embarking upon any new exercise regime and weight loss. If any of these exercises cause you discomfort, stop immediately and seek medical advice.

Diet Solutions - The Pathway to S-shaped figure & Glossy 6 pack abs

Diet Solutions

Green Tea To Help Your Metabolism and get those six pack abs &  perfect S shaped figure

One of the first things I did when I decided to lose belly fat fast was to replace my intake of coffee with green tea. This great herbal drink is becoming really popular for those wanting to lose belly fat fast and develop six pack abs because it’s been found that it helps to increase your metabolism. Not only does it do that but it also helps to suppress your appetite whilst at the same time providing antioxidants, which any nutritionist or trainer will tell you is give for your general health. Drinking a few cups or mugs of natural green tea each day should be just one part of your new dietary plan to help you lose belly fat and develop six pack abs.

Strawberries and Other Sources of Fibre

If your serious about wanting to lose belly fat fast and sculpt sexy body shapes or six pack abs (for men) but don’t want to have to live on rabbit food, you’ll be pleased to learn that there are a number of sources of dietary fibre that you can eat including strawberries, blackberries cranberries etc. Like green tea above these berries can help towards body shaping as they are also rich in antioxidants as well as being a great source of carbohydrates that won’t suddenly raise your blood sugar levels. Fibre of course helps in your quest to lose belly fat and develop six pack abs by helping your body to get rid of those unwanted fats and other substances. Great sources of fibre also include brown rice, wholegrain breads, unsweetened oatmeal etc.

Lose Belly Fat  – Eat 6 to 8 Times a Day

Some of the crazy diet programmes that you see advertised specifically to help you lose belly fat or with glossy pictures of six pack abs and S shaped body, tell you to skip meals to help you lose weight. The problem with missing out meals is that you end up feeling more hungry and you tend to binge the next time you eat your meal, which isn’t going to help you get the dreamed body shape. Professional trainers of course will tell you that the best way to lose belly fat is actually to increase the number of times you eat each day but to reduce the size of the portions. In fact to lose belly fat and sculpt those nice body shapes you’ll probably want to eat approximately 6 to 8 times each day, with each small portion containing a little protein, carbohydrate and a very small amount of fat. Of course we all lead busy lives and we are not necessarily well placed to prepare these numbers of meals or to eat often, even when we are determined to lose belly fat and sculpt out body, but you can certainly eat a suitable protein bar or drink a protein shake in place of some of those meals. Stick with it it’s worth the change in eating habits to help you lose belly fat !

Forget Junk Food to Get rid of Belly Fat

Of course we’re all addicted to so called junk food and we all find it difficult to give up, but it is so important to make this change if you seriously want to lose belly fat. One portion of chips and a burger can completely demolish all the other good work you do in eating the right foods during your day. Think about it. The junk food industry sells us products which are high in fats and carbs, with questionable food being coated in breadcrumbs or batter and deep fried in oil. At the other end of the scale are cakes pastries and other sugar laden treats which although tasting wonderful won’t help us in our quest to lose belly fat! If you are serious about this you need to cut these out of your diet.

Lose Belly Fat – Drink More Water

It’s important to keep your body well hydrated as it has loads of very useful effects and will definitely help in your quest to lose belly fa. For example by drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day you will be flushing out toxins from your body. Water helps to reduce the amount of salt in your body. Salt actually tends to absorb more water in the body and builds up additional weight, so by drinking more water you’ll help to flush out the salt. Water also helps you to lose belly fat by improving your body’s metabolic rate and also helps your body get rid of unnecessary fats.

Fat Burning Exercises

Cardio exercises can be very helpful in your quest to lose belly fat. If you take a light 30 minute jog, which you may well build to an hour after a while…. Or even start off with a brisk walk this will all help in the first stages of developing those six pack abs. Similarly swimming and similar endurance work-outs will help enormously in your quest to lose belly fat as well. As well as helping to add strength to the heart these types of cardio exercises actually encourage your body to attack its store of energy and burn it off, which is great in kicking off your quest to bring out those six pack abs. As you build on these exercises the flow of blood in your blood stream is enhanced and your body’s metabolism kicks up a gear to increase the efficiency in converting your food intake into useable energy rather than simply dumping it into a fat store in your body. A few weeks into your programme where you are using these cardiovascular exercises and as long as you are being sensible with your diet, you’ll be surprised and delighted as you start to notice subtle changes around your tummy region and also other traditionally fatty parts of the body including arms, thighs etc. Of course it will take more work to really create those six pack abs.
