I'm sick of being insulted by everybody I know (including relatives). I'm 130 lbs, 5 ft 3, small frame. I have a belly, and my mum will even say "You should do sit ups or crunches" but I can't psychically do that because it hurts my back and because I never took p.e. in school (I have a birth defect on my left arm and my docs never wanted me to risk getting hurt because I've had 18 surgeries on it, I also have an abdomenal aneyurism that could burst at any time so I was medically excused.), well to get to the point, because I never took p.e. I don't really know how to do many exercises. So, how can I get a flatter belly? Currently I use 'SkinnyGirl Smoothing & Firming Body Lotion' to help it. What should I do to get it flatter? And what would help the process be faster? I know that a few months ago I lost 10 pounds after eating only nachos for a couple weeks (I eat it with Queso that has Jalepenos in it, and I assumed the Jalepenos was a contributer to the weight loss because spicy foods help speed the metabolism). I wanna get iit flatter fast, because the sooner the insults stop, the better.
How to Lose Weight When You Have Hypothyroidism
Recommended Answer:
Fat loss and muscle toning is a gradual process. Cut your calorie intake, do crunches, swim, stretch, most pool activities don't work your midsection and abs, you'll have to lift you're own weight on land. If you wish to look good for the beach, start working on it now, depending on how hard you work, the rigorousness of your workouts and the previous condition of your body, it could take weeks, months or years to flatten out a stomach. Don't go looking for an easy fix, they don't exist.Other Answers:
- LOSE THE 15 POUNDS OF EXTRA WEIGHT YOU ARE CARRYING AROUND AND SOME OF WHAT YOU LOSE WILL BE BELLY FAT. THAT WILL MAKE IT FLATTER. CRUNCHES STRENGTHEN YOUR MUSCLES BUT THEY DO NOT GET RID OF BELLY FAT ANYWAYNot meaning to yell at you, caps lock doesn't light up anymorelotion will not make your belly flat eithergo for walks every day. you don't need a gym class to teach you that. walk 45 minutes every day
- Well just off the top of my head id say diet, exercise, (you can exercise without straining your body too much, get up and walk or just do anything that makes you sweat, you will see improvement) and definitely don't eat just nachos. That is not healthy at all you lost weight because you weren't getting all the proper nutrients and vitamins not because jalapenos sped up your metabolism. Or you could try not giving a shit, I'm 6'4" and 350 pounds and i really could care less what people say/think. Hope this helps.
- Crunches or other abdominal exercises will not do you any good. They build muscle, not burn fat. You need to do light cardio, such as jogging or something else that keeps your heart rate up and everything to burn calories. Also, reduce your caloric intake. It is as simple as burning more calories than you take in. An excellent website to track your food and progress is myfitnesspal.com. Simple things can trim up your stomach as well. Some foods make people gain water weight or are full of salt and make people retain water. Avoid salt, fizzy drinks, and white carbohydrates like potatoes and white bread. Starving yourself does not work for a number of reasons, so please never do that.The most effective way to lose weight and feel better isn't crunches, a diet plan, or even counting calories. It is just changing your lifestyle habits -- like eating better and being more active. It can be hard to do, but it is worth it.
