Bust Fat

Fat, flabs, bingo wings, man boobs, or any other term you wanna call it, is definitely almost everyone's problem. These unwanted fat are caused by one general thing - an unhealthy lifestyle. But having an unhealthy lifestyle is unavoidable especially in our hustling and bustling way of life so here I am to give you some tips to shed off those butter in those guts.

  1. Get enough sleep. Sleeping at night, that is. This is the time of the day when the muscles repair themselves. Also, studies have shown that if one sleeps for less than 8 hours, the brain will secrete enzymes that'll make one hungry. On the other hand, if one sleeps for more than 10 hours, he'll most likely be overweight due to the lack of physical activity.
  2. Learn to measure the amount of food that you take in. Don't just scoop of rice and pork adobo and place them onto your plate. Measuring the amount of food that you will eat will give you and idea of how many calories you'll be taking in so that you'll know how much physical activity you'll need to burn 'em off. Oh yeah, a half cup of tightly packed steamed rice has 100g of calories, 23g of carbohydrates, 2g of protein, and none from fat.
  3. Shake that ass. I didn't mean literally. Moving your body does not only burn calories. It also hastens your metabolism for 24-26 hours. Meaning after exercising today, you can eat a little more than what you should be eating tomorrow and still not get fat!
  4. Do not skip meals. Skipping meals will only make one grow hungrier and the tendency is he'll eat more than enough of what he should.
  5. If you're having a low carbohydrate meal and also working out, be sure to pop multivitamin food supplements so as to not run low on energy.
  6. Last but certainly not the least, think before u gobble something up. Ask yourself, "Do I really want that piece of cake or do I want that piece of a*s?" Remember, stop craving for food and others will start craving for you.
