Paunch was considered to be a sign of prosperity a couple of decades back. Even today among politicians, police officers, and government officials ? huge paunches are signs of the amount of money they make?I mean the extra money they make through people. Unlike them, the people who work for IT industries and BPOs are constantly worried about the extra flesh they carry, for they know they are MORE susceptible for paunches.

Both men and women rush to lose their weights just before getting married so that probably they don?t have major problems in experimenting with various positions. Or probably they think being skinny is always beautiful ? not to forget that most men like HEALTHY women.

Here are few common ways people try to lose their weight

Dieting

There is a common misconception that skipping meals will slim you down. It can only make you weaker ? both physically and emotionally. I knew of a person who came to me to ask about tips to lose weight. And he proudly said, he skips break fast everyday, and still he is unsuccessful. People, who skip meals, hog like pigs in their next course ? and the end result remains the same.
NEVER EVER SKIP MEALS.

Exercising

If someone comments at your belly, the first thing you decide is to get up early the next morning. You dig in your old pair of shoes, and run for some 4-5 kms. Your food intake become more to compensate for the exercise you do, you jog for 5 days, and stick to the new intake habit. End of the day you have only succeeded in increasing your appetite.

Medical Treatment

This is a new system used by the otherwise unsuccessful medical practitioner. How long will they keep meeting sick people for a meager amount of Rs 30 per consultation? They embarked on an innovative idea of sucking people?.I mean sucking their extra fat using liposuction. And they graciously charge Rs 15 k per sitting. End result ? you will shot for a photo session for a ?before after? picture in newspapers. I honestly doubt about the credibility of the pic. Which is before and which is after!

We also tend to accept that what is built in few years, should not be lost in a month - only demolition of buildings happen that way. Reconstruction always need time, and extra care.

Here are few tips formulated by experienced people to help you lose weight with a smile on your face.

Break your meal to 6 times a day

Scientifically, the capacity of human stomach is just 50 ml. Rest is just expansion. You can very well know this by noticing those sexy waists of FTV models. Hence, break your food intake. Eat 6 times a day, and not a single time fill your stomach. Keep in mind the EXACT capacity of your stomach ? it is only 50 ml!

The timing could be - 8 am, 11 am, 2 pm, 5 pm, 7 pm and 10 pm.

Eat before you get hungry

Usually people tend to eat more when they are hungry. Though ayurveda say you should eat only after getting hungry, it is for those yogis who have only ONE meal a day. Watch for a day to know at time you get hungry. If it is 10 am, 1 pm, 5 pm and 9 pm, have your meal at 9 am, 12 noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm.

This way you surely will eat less, also you won?t become weak as you keep eating the whole day.

Never allow your stomach to be full

Don?t eat so much that you keep belching the whole day. Eat ? of stomach, and the rest ? can be filled with plain water.

Postpone eating food you love

Everyone has few special dishes that they love to eat like mad. It could be those spicy samosas or hot pizzas or it could be a bowl filled with ice creams. There is NO harm in eating what you love, but then just postpone the decision, and you will tend to eat the same food ? with more joy, and also you will not crave for it.

Also when the food is on your table, look at the food for a while, and imagine how probably it would taste. Allow yourself to drool for a moment, and then start eating. This was one reason why people were asked to PRAY before they eat, so that they feed their stomach and not their minds.

Eat whatever you want, but in limit

Whenever you visit a hotel or a restaurant, order for food what you love, but share with your friend than hogging it alone. If you feel it is enough, pack it home and you can have the same after 3-4 hours. Don?t avoid anything you love to eat ? it can only create a craving, and you will never lose that extra tire you have around your belly!

Lose only 2 kgs a month

Your waist cannot be like that of Aishwarya Rai?s overnight. You have taken a couple of months or should I say years to put on weight, so don?t expect miracles to happen. Set your target for losing 2 kgs in a month, and that is ideal and also healthy. In 6 months you can lose 12 kgs, and then sustain, and this is without fasting, dieting, exercising, or spending a fortune on slimming centers.
