Suggest Treatment To Reduce Stomach Fat
Question: I want to reduce my tummy but I am a person who sits in front of the laptop/PC for 10/11 hours and have less physical activity,the only activity I do is lots of walking 2/3 kms a day
Brief Answer:
Diet and Excercise
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I am glad you want to control your weight. It's actually a very simple process to follow in theory.. but certainly difficult in practice.
A good well balanced low calorie diet is your first step. One that cuts out the unnecessary snacking and eating out (restaurant food is designed to be tasty, not healthy). Our Dieticians here can help you with that. Just ask them to make you a weight loss diet chart and they will help you.
The second thing is exercise. A combination of Cardio exercise and focused muscle building is important, but you should concentrate in Cardio. Join a good gym or seek the help of a physical therapist and you will have the help you need to make an exercise plan that you can stick to.
The key is to make a schedule that you can STICK to in the long run.
Now if these things are not helping you lose weight after 3-4 months of really trying.. Then we need to get some blood tests done to check your thyroid and other hormone levels.
Hope this helps.
