However much we try hard to get flat belly, we have failed again and again. Losing the few extra kilos is not so hard, but achieving a flat tummy is not so easy. The fat around the belly is really hard to get rid of, and it takes a schedule of rigorous exercises and strict diet plan to reduce belly fat.

Some of the food items are categorised and put aside as they are believed to be adding on weight. But here’s the truth.

Oil : Yes we think of oil to be an evil while we are on the process of losing weight. But don’t be surprise as you get to know that fat in fact saves us from sudden pangs of hunger! So, you need to take fat daily in your meal, but in appropriate quantities. Go for canola or olive oils, instead of the vegetable oils which are having trans-fat.

Dairy Products : While we are losing weight, we avoid the intake of dairy products completely or restrict it. But a miniscule amount of fat can help you in getting the belly fat reduced – yes this is absolutely true!

Dairy products do have calcium, which breaks down fat depositories and also prevents them from getting formed again. Just opt for fatless or low fat dairy products.

Cheese : Cheese can help you to gain weight or lose weight depending on the type of cheese. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is low calorie and contains calcium. This prevents formation of fat and also breaks down fat deposition. This type of cheese also has protein which prevents us from getting sudden hunger pangs.

Nuts : Munching few nuts everyday can keep hunger at bay. Don’t buy the salted nuts, only the plain ones. Nuts can keep you more satisfied than rice cakes. But don’t take nuts in excessive amount, just moderate quantities.

Image courtesy : Colourbox.com

Yes it is possible to stay fit and healthy while you are at office! There are tons of articles that can be found in the internet, you must have read quite a number of them. But honestly how many of you have practised in your life? Not many! So if you fall in the other category, who have gone through all the preaching and still grappling on how to do that in real life, this article is for you. J

1.       Do not sit stiffly at one place for hours, stretch yourself. If you are sitting at one place and working for long hours, it weakens muscles like hamstrings, quads, glutes. Also it may tighten and lengthen the lower body muscles of your body too. All these leads to slouching, back pain, protruding belly, weak back.

To avoid this, get up from the chair, and stretch your lower body muscles often.

 

2.       Drink enough water. Keep sipping water now and then, throughout the day. Your body needs water.

This will also help you to keep dehydration and hunger pangs at bay.

 

3.       Always sit straight. Avoid any type of poor posture while you are working. Slouching strains around the lumbar and thoracic spines.

Your back must be straight and your knees must be at 90 degrees with the ground or floor. Place your elbows on support and adjust the computer screen at your eye level.

4.       Walk while you are talking over phone. Just get off from the office chair, and make the phone call your excuse for a brisk walk.

Not only for calls, even if you want to refill your bottle with water, walk towards the water cooler instead of asking the housekeeping staff to do so for you. Also instead of using instant messaging to communicate with your colleague go to his or her cubicle and tell the message face to face.

 

5.       Do not eat heavy food. There must be certain food which make you ill, so eliminate the entire gamut of food, even if they are tasty for your eyes and tongue!

Fried, salty, cheesy, sugary food and drinks generally leaves us bloated and gassy. Also food made up of ghee, or yogurt and cereal loaded lunches are lunch debacles.

 

6.       Maintain hygiene at office. Not only while you go for shopping or marketing, but cleanliness is also essential while you are at office. Eating while working is not hygienic. Also make sure that your hands are clean while you touch your face or eat something after going through heaps of files or touching the computer’s keyboard!

Keep hand sanitizer, tissues with yourself always. Also wipe off the dust from the keyboard, computer screen. Also the water bottle that you carry to your office, must be cleaned properly at least once after every 3 to 4 days.

3 SIX PACK ABS' MYTHS BUSTED!

Myth is a traditional story accepted as history that serves to explain man's emotion and imagination. Likewise, Six Pack Abs Myths tell about some widely focused human emotion and imaginative concepts of having attractive Six Pack Abs through some unproductive and rather unrealistic means that ultimately frustrate people and kill their very rational desire of possessing a flat belly exposing Abs’ muscles. It has been noticed that people following the Myths being widely advertised, get dejected and confused as the haunting Myths fail to show results. They keep on wandering about the right process to fix up their problems, but 99% of them remain unanswered. Now, let me tell you 3 of such Myths that may be, in case you have faith in them, keeping you fat.

 First Myth: The more you do Abs Exercises, the faster you get Six-Pack.

 This is quite farcical as this Myth shows no sign of telling what is true. But, surprisingly, a major portion of the modern and educated people do not know that all of us have inborn abs and so, to concentrate trying on various abs machines would not pay until and unless some efforts in the form of regular exercises are taken to reduce fat that prevents the abs from being noticed. Its better that you go for prescribed dieting and more physical exercises to reduce the fat proportionately from your whole body and a fatless body, in turn, will help expose your abs. Do not consume foods having high calorie and carbohydrate. Some cardio will also help the fat to reduce.  You are lucky if you are already having a fatless belly but not having Six Pack, because, in this case, you have only to make your abs muscles more prominent by abs exercises using considerable weight. 

 Second Myth: - Buy (blah ----blah ----blah) and get Six -Pack at ease.

 Doesn’t it sound like a cock and bull story? If you have the minimum common sense, you should reject such Myth instantly after going through the particular advertisements. Don’t possess any such false ideas of developing Six-Pack just only with something like fat belts, or high-priced electro arousal machines or anything that just tempts you to buy some pills, or liquids. Be rational and think that hard work has no substitutes. Try to remove fat from your body and belly as well with the aid of regular exercises. Don’t expect to keep your body at rest and something (blah-blah-blah) that you have purchased, to work for reducing your fat.

 Third Myth: Remove Fat on Spot- It would not be without merit to say that you look devoid of good sense and judgment if you put the lowest faith in such Myth. Considerable number of enquires are being received each week from people asking for exercises to remove excess fat around the waistline or belly fat. It’s not a job that can be done in minutes, but instead if you go for 12-minute jogging, conforming to a standard or pattern, it can surly give you some positive result fructifying your dream of having the first-step done towards Six-Pack.

If you are looking for a substitute for exercise, then think again. There are no substitutes for physical activities. And to stay fit, one needs to burn the extra calories, by going for exercise.

IMAGE COURTESY: FREE DIGITAL PHOTOS

Start it, by introducing exercise in your daily schedule for 30 minutes. Continue till the end of first week, and from the second week, try to increase the duration.

Like they say, Variety is the spice of life. You too follow it, and do a variety of excercises, from weight training to cardio, then jogging to walking slowly.

Weight bearing exercise must be done atleast thrice a week.  And cardio must be done for 20 minutes each day. If you are leading a sedentary lifestyle, dont try to bring about a massive change in your lifestyle overnight. Start off slowly and gradually increase the duration of exercise.

If you are suffering from heart ailments, then please consult a doctor, before going for vigorous physical activities. Also if you over 50 years old, consult a physician.

You can turn on the music player or the television, and enjoy the loud music along with exercise. This helps you to avoid getting bored and losing interest. Also you can start by dancing. Dance is also a form of exercise.

If you get tired by doing exercise continuously, then take short breaks in between.

Exercises like endurance training, weight training, stretching, yoga, daily activities can essentially make you fit and stay in shape for a long time.

• 1 full cabbage head of 900 grams has nearly 220 calorie.
• 1 Large cabbage head of around 1300 grams has got nearly 300 calorie. 

BEFORE : BULGING BELLY

THE CABBAGE SOUP DIET

Many supermodels, celebs, film stars befriend cabbages in order to lose weight at a miraculous fast rate. While going for the cabbage soup diet, one generally relies on cabbages more than anything else in the world. And its supplemented with a handful of low calorie dishes.

This diet plan leaves you craving for more food,  since the food choices are very less in number. And possibly you will get bored by eating cabbages, so would want to get rid of the cabbage soup diet even before the duration of 7 days get completed.

Only once in a while, and that also only for a week, you can go for the cabbage soup diet. There is no need of doing vigorous exercises  or anything of that sort. Mainly the dietitians will put stress on the diet. You can lose upto 10 pounds of weight in just one week, so that is the only brighter side of this plan.

Everyday for a week, you have to consume two biggie bowls of cabbage soups, whether you like it or not! Along with that, you can munch on fruits like apples, guavas, et cetera except bananas.
Black tea and coffee is allowed but it must be sugar and milk free.
Once in a while you can go for  potato, if you are fond of potatoes. Otherwise i would rather suggest you to go for other vegetables, but then peas, beans, corn (lentils) are an obvious no-no!
Chicken, fishes, beef is allowed. But while you eat, please watch what you eat and how much you eat.

You can chalk out a diet for yourself. Just remember to introduce new variations in your diet everyday. So that you dont get bored easily, and go back to the same old weight-gain diet of yourselves. Also you can have a look at different recipes on cabbages, but dont go for too spicy and oily dishes.

AFTER: PERFECT TONED FIGURE

Good Luck!
