Many are disgust with their potbelly but haven't had the discipline to try Dieting. With improper diet and lack of exercise most men will store their excess fat around the waist and over time, the waist will become very ugly and unsightly. A proper diet and exercise regime will be needed to reduce this ugly potbelly. All you need is DISCIPLINE.
There are many diets to choose from and all will work with a little discipline. The most practical diet is the South Beach diet, akin to the Atkin's diet but with a small difference. You can google the South Beach diet but most food plans are not catered for the Asian taste.
For the first two weeks, one needs to eat proteins and vegetables only. Fruits and any carbohydrates are not permitted during this induction week. The purpose is for the body to lose interest and stop the craving for carbohydrates. Forget about mee goreng or durian. During this two weeks, you eat to live and the craving for carbohydrates will slowly diminish.
Expect losing 8 to 13 pounds during this two weeks, mostly will be water weight but the momentum of losing weight will induce a sense of accomplishment and it will carry your diet further. Your pants will feel a bit loose and you don't feel sleepy or lethargic. After the two weeks, some good carbohydrate will be introduce a little at a time.
Below is a sample of Asian food during the two weeks induction phase:
Breakfast
One whole omega egg and one egg white omelette
one cup of coffee with artificial swettener
snack
some almonds or peanuts
Lunch
Baked fish with vegetable (exclude carrots)
snack
some almonds or peanuts
Dinner
Steak/baked fish with vegetable
If you are hungry at any time, try taking liquid diet food e.g Xando or Shape cla Slim (buy them at the local Pharmacy).
It is imperative for dieters to exercise everyday to kick start the fat burning process and increase the metabolic rate. You can either power walk or swimming to burn some calories.
If you follow this diet plan for two weeks, you will lose between 2 to 4 kilos. Try it. Coincidently I am 5 days through the induction phase and have lost 6 pounds so far (i guess mostly water). Hopefully i will lose 1 pound a day after this.
