Hi Komal,
I am WFH on laptop 8-10 hrs daily. I am 38 years old, 175 cm height, 74 kg weight, medium build.
Concern: Stiff belly fat gradually inching up since a few years.
Past issues: I had high uric acid issues (highest below 8) and certain back/neck problems. Am ok now with protein consumption control, 40 min targeted exercise 3-4 times a week and daily 2 km walk/jog.
My food intake is paratha+milk in morning usually, 3 chapatis with vegetable+curd/dal in lunch and 2 chapatis+veg in dinner with milk late night.
Please advise diet/exercise for a leaner body and flat tummy.

With WFH scenarios adding to a lack of physical activity, our metabolic rates are drastically reduced.
This increases the fat percentage in our body and gives that belly fat which we all unwillingly but gradually grow!
Muscle toning and weight exercises are ideal for reducing tummy fat.
A diet which is balanced, meets all nutrient requirements and focuses on low fat, low carb foods will work effectively for fat loss.
Include more foods containing fibre like green vegetables, lentils, fruits, whole grain cereals and have small frequent meals.
