Importance of flat abs for women

June 15, 2008

The relationship betweem women and a set of taut abs goes back a long way. And in the Indian context, the midriff-baring sari is a testament to that fact. Think Dil Se and who can forget the sexy image of Malaika Arora-Khan’s gyrations in the runaway hit Chaiya Chaiya.

And you’ll see the female midriff bared to sexy effect in many Bollywood songs as well as on gymtoned physiques. But any expert will tell you that the abdominals are among the hardest muscles to exercise. Add to that a combination of factors — poor diet and lack of exercise — and getting a healthy and flat set of abs becomes that much harder. So then how important is it for women to work out this section of muscles? Is it for purely cosmetic reasons? For hardcore health reasons or a combination of both?

For those like college student Rima Tellis, looking good goes beyond the face. It means looking good all over, and that includes the abdominals as well. “I don’t mind it when guys check out my abs, and I quite like the compliments I get. I don’t follow a strict exercise regimen but I work out my abdominals when I do cardio,” she says.

And for others, looking sexy and feeling healthy goes along with the profession. Like Ayesha Shroff, who is a journalist as well as a dancer. “I like to stay in shape because I am a dancer. I work out my abs three times a week. I do cardio for overall toning. I do crunches, that includes the normal, cross-leg, bent knee and straight leg crunches to keep my abdominals in shape. Because I have a good metabolism and because I have been doing this for years, It didnt take me very long to get results,” says Ayesha. And yet, women can attain that lean look without fearing that if they do stomach crunches, their abs will look ‘un-feminine’. Says holistic health guru Mickey Mehta, “It’s important for women to work their abdominal muscles too but they needn’t get the ‘ripped’ look, as it is unhealthy. For women (and indeed for men as well) yoga and pilates can help them exercise their core muscles and achieve the desired results. The idea is not to look ripped and a six pack actually isn’t all there is to abdominal muscles. They are the ‘show’ muscles of the abdominals. The idea is to keep the muscles firm.”

For most women, the rigours and rhythms of daily life leaves them little time to exercise. But yet, strong abs can actually increase one’s productivity by by making your lower back stronger and less prone to injury. That means you save on medical bills and visits to the doctor.

Celebrity fitness instructor Deanne Panday elaborates, “It is very important for women to have strong abdominal muscles as apart from looking sexy, it also keeps women from getting lower back pain and other incidental aches. A strong set of abdominal muscles helps maintain the posture as well. Stabilising core abdominal muscles stabilise the spine, which is involved in every movement that you do. In fact, if you core
abdominal muscles are weak, you can get a jerk even if you’re sitting in a bumpy rickshaw!”

Actor Teejay Sidhu is no stranger to a good workout. “Women are always trying to look good and feel good. And working your lower body, be it for your butt, abs or thighs, also has great health benefits. For women tend to put on weight around those areas as they grow older and their metabolism slows down. I have been part of football teams and apart from that I love cycling too,” she says.

While celebrity trainer Leena Mogre feels that flabby abs scream ‘poor fitness’, she maintains that the spine gains the most from good abdominals. “Extra weight around the stomach combined with weak abdominal muscles puts a strain on the back muscles, puts a strain on and leads to an irregular curvature of the spine. And when a woman is wearing a sari, there is nothing sexy about having a flabby belly. Looking sexy is healthy too!”
So, there you have it, ladies. Need any more reason to get ‘crunching’?

Fat Loss Diet

June 14, 2008

You are overweight due to most of these reasons:Fat Loss

1. Maybe you’re eating the wrong food.

2. The types of calories you intake can be wrong.

3. Your meals would be of wrong pattern.

I am going to change the way you think about dieting. Please read the below carefully:

Food can make you either thin or fat. Your intake of food will make you look thin or fat and not your pills. Lack of exercise will never make you fat. The main reason to become fat is because you do not eat the right food at right intervals everyday.

pills are not enough. The pattern that you choose to eat is very important. You will end up storing calories like fat tissue as the calories won’t be burnt. This happens because your body is like an engine and it needs certain food at certain intervals each day. A normal person needs to eat 3 times a day to lose weight. Read on to know how to do that….

Like I said before, you are fat because you eat wrong food at wrong time. You can get SLIM by waiting the right food at right time and intervals each day. You will never need to starve yourself to lose weight. Starving will not help you lose weight but will make you feel sick and tired.

Starving means using a low calorie diet. Having a low calorie diet menas your metabolism will detect the major drop in your calories and it will adjust by burning few calories each day.

For example:

If you eat 1,500 calories per day then your metabolism will adjust itself so that your body begins burning 1,500 calories per day.

If you try to starve yourself by suddenly eating 500 calories per day then your metabolism will again ADJUST ITSELF so that your body begins to burn only 500

calories per day.  That’s why you have failed in your past dieting attempts, that’s why you always seem to fail when you try and starve yourself.

I guess by now you know the reason why your friend eats more and does not gain weight while you have been eating less and not being able to lose any weight.

Nowadays, every person is fat conscious. Many people mostly buy "low fat" or "non fat" food. Every person checks the amount of fat in the food they buy. But

how many are actually losing their weight by doing so? The actual fat still remains that people using "LOW FAT" food are becmoing more fatter day by day.

Similary, on the other hand people going for low carb diets feel miserable each day. This because most of the energy being lost everyday.

The fact is that Low carb diets will make you feel miserable day by day.

The Answer:

I have invented a new type of diet which will show you a new type of diet which is very different from whatever you have seen till date. The process is so different that you will see changes in your body in just 11 days from today.

Believe it or not it’s really possible to change your body in NEXT 11 DAYS. I have patients who have done it and have thanked me so many times. Here is the truth. You will be greedy to see more of this EATING SYSTEM which is UNIQUE. It is so unique that you will definetely start it immediately.

The Truth

Food is NOT your Enemy!

Everytime you eat something, your brain realeases two types of Hormones into your bloodstream. These two hormones together control your Fat Burning and Fat

Storage. These two Hormones are controlled by nothing else but the Food that you eat.

How does MY DIET help?

My Diet will help you lose weight due to two things:

1. My Diet will produce a greater quantity of FAT BURNING HORMONES and MINIMIZE the FAT STORING HORMONES. This means you will be eating MORE THAN 3 TIMES A DAY for 11 DAYS.

YES!!! 3 TIMES!!! 3 TIMES eating is must to alter your HORMONES using my diet. You would feel it hard to believe but the fact still remains that FOOD IS NOT YOUR ENEMY.

2. The another system that My Diet does is CALORIE SHIFTING. Your body will be given different types of CALORIES each day which will confuse your metabolism resulting FASTER .

Seems Interesting? I have created an ONLINE DIET GENERATOR which will calculate everythiong for you automatically and will give you the right daily menu.

This new diet is called the IDIOT PROOF DIET.

So what does THE IDIOT PROOF DIET do?

The  Idiot Proof Diet  constantly alternates your menu between every possible type of calorie, constantly shifting from one type of calorie to the next,

ensuring that the scale keeps dropping.

I call this diet the "Idiot Proof Diet" because everything is computed for you, and there is no need for calorie counting or label reading.

Control on diet does not help

June 12, 2008

Consuming a fad diet to achieve  that ultimate beach-body? Well, you may be doing yourself more harm than good, warns a leading clinical nutritionist. Fad diets may be the quickest way to but is not a healthy one, according Dr. Jo Ann Carson, professor of clinical nutrition at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

 

“Fad diets are a temporary fix to a problem that requires a lifelong solution. Healthy eating and exercise habits all year long will keep you beach-body ready for any season,” Dr. Carson said. Any diet that results in more than one to two pounds of per week, eliminates an entire food group or forces you to eat from one or two food groups and forces a person to take a pill or buy a product, is avoidable.

Know Why Losing Weight is difficult

May 28, 2008

To many, losing weight brings up feelings of deprivation — all those yummy cakes and chocolates suddenly become taboo. Often the way out is to postpone the decision to take action. Maybe you need a fresh perspective of losing weight work for you.

Why is losing weight so hard to do?
Losing weight is often hard because of unrealistic targets we impose on ourselves. It takes us years to put on 5-10 kg or more and yet we push the body to lose it all in a month or so. Unrealistic targets set you up for difficult diets and exercise routines without letting your mind the time to absorb these changes. So while your body gives in your mind does not and this conflict brings pain, hardship, loss, deprivation. A bigger problem that follows is we feel obliged to relieve the pain and tend to relax, and weight gain begins to creep in once more.

What is the right way to lose weight?
Weight gain is a consequence of certain habits we pick up at different phases in life. It is a lifestyle issue not a ‘weight issue’. Solve the ‘faults’ in lifestyle behaviours and the weight will go away. The reverse is not true. Understanding behaviours, emotions, cultural patterns, family obligations and all those little things we do in life that contribute to weight gain is critical. Unless you examine these and make those decisions you will always find losing weight painful.

How much weight should I lose in a month?
There are two considerations you should keep in mind when choosing your monthly target for — one is scientific and the other emotional. Reducing about 500-1000 calories per day from meal plans and exercise is a good start. There are many other factors such as your basal metabolic rate (BMR), age, physical, medical and metabolic issues that need to be considered. The second consideration is your lifestyle behaviours which is very critical to your programme. Many programmes ignore this factor. Quite contrary it has everything to do. A good rate to look for is approximately 2-4 kg.

If all programmes are alike – then where is the choice?
Yes many programmes on the market are alike as they provide you with diet advice and exercise routines. Most of these programmes are typical ‘kilo based programmes’. What they do not provide you is an insight into your lifestyle. So look for a programme that deals in lifestyle programming – they always lead to sustainable . New behaviours lead to new relationships – so why miss out on these.

How is Kaya life different?
Kaya life is the first lifestyle programme in India. It’s the only programme where you get an insight into your lifestyle behaviour that characterises your eating habits, physical activity, weight relation, anxieties, fears and other associations. You truly begin to understand why weight has become a part of your life. You learn to recognise these and then resolve them. What’s more you get a dedicated team to work with you – life coach, dietician, fitness trainer, and body therapist. You are never alone in your journey. They share your issues and successes. Learn to enjoy your .

3 ways of getting a Flatter Tummy!

May 19, 2008

So  you are confused by all the different techniques for tightening your tummy Are rollers and giant bouncing balls really necessary to help you firm up.
Lack of results could be the least of your worries – using bad technique could set you up for injury. According to fitness expert Brad Schoenfeld, there are four common myths associated with toning that tummy…
Lose weight with a free plan that’s right for you

Myth One
Training the abs will give you a flat stomach. You simply can’t spot reduce fat. When you exercise, fat is removed from all areas of the body. The calories expended during ab exercises are very low. If you are looking for a high-calorie burner, there are better exercises. Working the abs will develop the underlying muscle, but if there is a layer of fat obscuring your ’six pack’ neither you nor anyone else will ever see it.

Myth Two
The lower and upper abs are separate from one another. The abs are one long sheet of muscle. They aren’t separate. Any ab exercise you do is going to involve both the lower and upper abdominal areas. You can shift the emphasis more toward the lower or upper regions by performing specific exercises. To target the upper abdominal area, you use exercises that bring the chest toward the pelvic (crunch-type exercises). To target the lower abdominal region, use exercises that bring the pelvis toward the chest (reverse curls). Read more
