DIETING:Tips to Maintaining/improving body shape


So many ladies and guys love to have a perfect body shape, this tips will help you understand factors responsible for weight gain, pot belly, wrinkles and thus profer solutions to maintaining a perfect body shape.
Aside genetic factors, the body can be shaped into desired sizes: This is why improved biceps and 6 packs are easily achieved if desired. However, we must understand the following:

* DIETING- we get the concept of dieting so wrong. Dieting is simply the act and or art of restricting the intake of certain food/drink. You can be placed on a special diet to add weight or lose weight. Dieting is totally different from starving. When dieting, you must not skip your meal. When you skip your meal you are starving!

* EXERCISE This is an activity aimed at making d body anatomy ( most especially the muscles and bones) to keep fit. Exercise contributes less than 20% in weight lost but help in a well physique fitness.

Factors for perfect Dieting
1. Eating Time
2. Eating habit
3. Eating culture
4. Exercise

1. EATING TIME- It may surprise you to know that 65% of pot belly comes as a result of late night eating. Other factors for pot belly includes: sickness, Hereditary, improper tommy care after child delivery most especially C/S.
The best formula for daily eating time is:  7-1-7
The 7-1-7 means you take your breakfast on or before 7:00am, your lunch shud be taken between the hours of 12:30pm-1:00pm and your supper should be between the hours of 6:30pm-7:00pm. The major problem with eating time factor is the supper. In Africa, so many homes have their supper as late as 10:30pm and will immediately go to bed after eating. Children who don't late night foods have better physique and sleeps better.
To reduce potbelly, eating time rules must be adhere to.

2. EATING HABITS- The habit of eating in-betweens is another major factor for over weight or lost of good body shape. When you have your breakfast at about 7am and a friend takes you out at about 11:00am, eating heavy meal at that time is detrimental to dieting or maintaining a good body shape. Snack and junk food should be resisted on a daily basis if a good body shape is desired. If famished, it is advisable to take fluids ( not carbonated drinks) to kill d hunger.

3. EATING CULTURE- unfortunately in Africa, the traditional eating culture is totally against the rule for proper dieting. Breakfast are expected to be rich and balanced but we often skip breakfast and make emphasis on supper. There is a general eating adage that says " Eat your breakfast like a king, your lunch like an average and your supper like a pauper ". Most of the African meal for supper are starchy and carbohydrate foods.
   Note:
* Enrich your breakfast
* if  dieting for weight lose, do not eat carbohydrate foods at late nights meals.
* Do away with beer/carbonated drinks at late nights
* to avoid starving, you can scoop the stew/soup and avoid the starchy food like; Rice, cassava meal, pounded yam, etc
* invest in fruits and vegetables. If possible take only fruits/vegetable and a cup of milk as your daily evening meal ( supper).
* Depending on your weight and how much pound you intend to lose, eating noodles should be strictly for breakfast. If you are over weight , noodles, rice, pounded yam, cassava meal should be totally withdrawn.
* Avoid red/fatty meats like beef/ pork.
* Eat more of fish

4. EXERCISE- This can be in form of aerobics. Start your exercise gradually, do not rush into it. Indoor exercise is best for a stater.
Note:
* After your exercise, do not take cold water
* Its best you keep a lemon aside before starting your early morning or evening exercises, make a warm lemonade from it and take after your stretches.
* If you are a young lady/man who has not stop child bearing, avoid taking too much of lime.


Finally, discipline, determination, endurance, are nitty gritty to maintaining a good body shape. Do not concentrate on exercise when intending to lose weight rather, you concentrate on your food/drink intakes.
