1st Burning Question: Can you tell me a diet to reduce my abdomen fat?

This is the 1st Burning Question from our “5 Burning Question” Columns.

Can you tell me a diet to reduce my abdomen fat?

This is the most common question that I am asked even on my blog, as well as the place where I work. This is a wrong notion, and sad advertisements which give wrong information making people think that there are magical aides to lose weight. Weight loss is an overall change in the diet. It is not possible to go through spot reduction through diet. A good exercise regimen and a sensible diet can help in the long run.Do not believe in any hoaxes about eating a certain food and losing weight at a specific area.

Sauna belts and anti cellulite gels are all just gimmicks to attract customers.They look very easy on television but in real life they do not work. Yes certain oil massages do help in better circulation and prevent fat deposits. But this is only possible through a good lifestyle.

Work out and reap the benefits.

Hi,

How effective is the GM diet for instant weight loss, also what are the complications & side effects esp. when I weigh 113 kgs, am 6 ft. tall and hypertensive. I am just 34.

If spot reduuction is not possible, why fat tends to accumulate more at abdomen compared to other parts of body?
