How to lose belly fat?

This is over-simplification of the process. You are assuming that all that goes in is absorbed. I believe the metabolism rate of different people is different.

Yes different people have different metabolic rates and yes some people are more efficient at absorbing nutrients than others. The point of balance between input and output is different for everyone.

However, this does not alter the fact that fat cannot come from nowhere. It has to come from the calories consumed regardless of where they stand in the food pyramid.

In order to lose weight, some have to put in a lot of effort while others can take it off easily. In my case, I need to spend at least 3 hours a day x 5 days exercising in order to keep my weight constant based on my current calorie intake which includes chocolate cake, croissants and ice cream on a regular basis.

If I cut down on my exercise, I have to cut down on the calories. If I don't, I'll start putting on weight.

TS has stated that he has done solid exercises and the results are impressive. The issue is belly fat. It's an accumulation and takes a long while to get rid off. The only way is to target exercises for that section. Standing leg crunches and squats are effective but the results will take longer. Just be patient. You know you got the results when it is hard.

3x5 days is crazy. You are hooked on it. You will pay the price in terms of reconstructive surgeries for various parts starting with knees. Your consolation is cycling which is low impact with great results. If it all cycling, no issue.

You know your stuff. Except for the hilly location, excellent place for it - clean air, nice motorists, great scenes etc.

Here's some exercise routines for you guys to do.

Insanity. No need to even need running space to do it. Just have some space as large as an average sized room.

Crossfit, there's a huge community of ppl that do cross training. Some ppl say it's no good some swear by it. I think the US military does it.

That is why he lose weight.

Thanks for the grest replies guys...

I cannot do without rice. I do not feel full if no rice and if not full, I cannot sleep well at night. I will wake up several times that night and my sleep will be disturbed.

How?


Not everyone like the brown rice.

start cutting down on food intake, take 80% of what you usu eat.

when ordering rice outside (eg: zhup chai peng) - ask for less rice, when the uncle ask you enough (after scooping rice)- tell him to half the portion on the plate...

it is tough at first, but takes perseverance...

depending on your job, can even consider skipping a meal - not breakfast but either lunch or dinner.

then of course, must exercise...this is very important.

As I see it your main problem is that you consume too much rice to reduce your weight. Try to gradually reduce your intake of rice. It may be easier if you substitute rice with buckwheat http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=11.

By the way in the Budwig diet, buckwheat is recommended in many of the dishes.

Why not just take up the ketonic diet and let your body burn off all your fat. You can do carb reloads on weekends.

I think I know your problem.Me too went through the same phase.Cannot feel had eaten until I have a bowl of rice....even after company entertainments with the best of food money can buy.Usually go through the motion to come back for that bowl of rice.Despite the fact that my work takes me all around the globe....It's alcohol that gives me sleep.No rice,no sleep...

Medical experts don't really have an answer.But a friend who is a specialist gave me a clue.It is all about your stomach sending signals to your brains.Since we are basically rice eaters and our mothers had fed us rice day and night;so we are sort of programmed.But I still cannot figure outwhy some of us escapes the syndrome.Perhaps,there are other matters that compounds the seriousness.

TCM has some answers.....it connects sleep to the function of liver.When your liver functions overdrive ,you cannot sleep.But I still can't connect why full rice meal gives me a sleep.

Anyway,I had overcome the syndrome now.I can now sleep with light meal.Rice no more in the equation.How?.....I can't really put a finger as to which method among the various I used that gave me the salvation.But the important thing is to recognize the problem.

Go for TCM.

Go for TCM.

TCM the best. Eat only Chinese food the best. You see Chinese can also overeat and get fat. But you see how Angmor and Malay and Indian grow fat you scared.

When I broke my leg in NS, hospital warded in and out and hospital bills horrible after MINDEF said OK no more NS but my family pay ourselves. There was a compensation. $20k and one-off discharge no recall for reservist. $20k very fast finished. But fair to say, western medical hospital saved my leg first. But drag and drag so long to solve the problem I still walking like limping. I go TCM 3 visits OK already can walk properly and total bill include medicine less than $500.

Soup is the best lah. Tricks your brain into thinking you're filling your stomach with food packed with calories. :smile:
