5 Steps to a flat tummy in 7 days
You’ve been missing your routine at the gym very often thanks to your busy schedule (or plain laziness) and suddenly you realize that in one week you have to attend a wedding.
You want to wear your favourite saree or figure-hugging dress but are worried about your flabby stomach bulging out. Well, you still have a last option. While you cannot reduce fat, you can lose belly fat by decreasing your total body fat percentage. And you don’t have to completely alter your daily habits to get a flat stomach within 7 days!
Step one:
If you want to build muscle and burn fat at the same time, you have to perform circuit training, three days per week. How can you achieve this? Indulge in full body exercises like lunges, push-ups, and pull-ups, for one set of 15 repetitions. Don’t forget to follow every exercise with one minute of jumping rope. You should be able to burn around 500 to 600 calories per workout.
Step two:
You have to work on your abdominal muscles three times in the week. Crunches and leg raises for three sets of 20 repetitions should be done. Also, do planks by holding your body in a push-up position on your elbows for 30 to 60 seconds for four sets.
Step three:
The kind of food you will eat in this period is vital in bringing about any change. Natural foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and pastas, chicken, beef, fish and low fat dairy should replace processed foods full of sugar.
Step four:
To minimize water retention, lower your sodium intake. This means you need to avoid salt. You can flavour your food with other herbs and spices instead.
Step five:
Stressing and anxiety can cause the over-production of a certain hormone called cortisol, which encourages weight gain about the belly area. So try to keep your cool!

People are beginning to avoid TUMFWEKO because of insults on lack of civility on the blog. Can someone please find a way of removing comments that are unpalatable?
This is a very progressive article though. Make them a daily routine please TUMFWEKO.
For those interested, please check up ‘askmen.com’- great advice there too.

The quickest method to reduce weight is to simply walk to and from work(if you stay in chelston,lusaka,you need three hours to reach the city centre.leave home at 05:00 hrs( i once walked and it took me 3 hours) and eat a lot of traditional foods,veges and less fatty foods.Africans think if you are walking then you are poor.This will kill us

Simple two step process for losing weight:
1. Turn your head to the left
2. turn your head to the right.
Now repeat these steps each time you are offered food…
