Question by Prabodh on Oct 27, 2020Hindi

Health

Hi Komal
My name is Prabodh.
My height: 5'7
Weight 75 kg
Age: 42 years
I was weighing 82 kg seven months back.
I started 50 minutes of jogging six days in week with two meals (lunch and dinner) in a day.
This regime helped me reduce seven kg of weight but there's no significant reduction in belly fat.
I want to reduce my tummy fat.
I am aiming to further cut down my weight by eight kg in next 3-4 months.
Please suggest what diet and workout regime I should follow to achieve my target weight.
I am a pure vegetarian.
Prabodh

Ans:

To reduce weight, you have probably focused on lowering your calorie requirements more than the minimum.

When total calorie and protein intake is reduced, it results in loss of lean mass.

Cardio activities like jogging are effective in fat loss but without proper nutrition will result in overall loss of lean mass. Thus, the quick loss of seven kgs.

Unfortunately, as minimum nutrition has been used as a means to lower weight, there will be a bounce back of the same once you start eating well.

You must consume the minimum requirement of all macro and micro nutrients for sustenance and healthy fat loss.

Avoid high fat and carb foods to cut excess calories.

Have high fibre and protein foods like whole grain cereals, lentils, fruits and vegetables, nuts, etc.

Weight and strength training is excellent for body toning and reducing fat percentage in specific body parts like the tummy.

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.Ashu Gupta

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.

Question by Nitin - Nov 14, 2023Hindi

Health

Hi Komal My age is 47 and I have type 2 diabetes for last 10 years I take medicines for diabetes and for cholesterol and triglycerides My BMI is 30 and weight is 88 kgs I have fat only at my belly with a paunch Whatever measures taken in past to reduce weight through diet control and physical activity results in some weight loss only to be regaiñed in sometime Pls suggest any specific diet / process by which belly fat is reduced significantly Regards Nitin Gupta

Ans: The layer of fat that is accumulated around the abdomen is known as "belly fat," and it is sometimes blamed for giving the appearance of a protruding or bulging belly. People acquire belly fat for a variety of causes, such as stress, poor food, lack of sleep, genetics, and physical inactivity. In order to get rid of belly fat, you need to combine stress management strategies, a good diet, regular exercise, and enough sleep. Belly fat can be reduced with a diet heavy in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low in processed foods. Planks and crunches, two exercises that work the abdominal muscles, can also be beneficial. Furthermore, controlling stress levels and obtaining adequate sleep might help avoid the sugar spikes.

Sir im 36 yrs of age weighing 107 kgs and I regularly walk which helps in maintaining my weight but im unable to reduce belly fats. I walk approx 4 kms daily within 30 minutes .

Ans: Thank you for your inquiry. I appreciate your dedication to maintaining a consistent walking routine for weight management. However, if you're specifically aiming to reduce belly fat, it might be beneficial to incorporate additional methods into your regimen.

While walking is great for overall health and weight control, integrating strength training exercises can be instrumental in building muscle mass and boosting metabolism, thereby facilitating greater fat loss, including targeting belly fat. Incorporate exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and abdominal workouts like crunches or planks.

To enhance the effectiveness of your walking routine, consider adding intervals of higher intensity. This might entail alternating between periods of brisk walking and intervals of more vigorous effort, such as walking uphill or increasing your pace to a jog for brief durations. This approach can elevate calorie expenditure and promote fat burning.

In terms of nutrition, it's crucial to pay close attention to your dietary habits, as they significantly impact fat loss. Prioritize a well-rounded diet rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while minimizing intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, and excessive calories, which can contribute to belly fat accumulation. Additionally, consider reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing protein consumption in consultation with a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

Overall, by incorporating these strategies alongside your walking routine, you can optimize your efforts towards reducing belly fat and improving overall health.

I am Priya from Varanasi, and I work from home as a project manager. I want some help to improve my digital body language, especially during video calls. I always try to stay focused and look engaged during meetings, but sometimes I feel like I might be missing out on some important non-verbal cues. How can I improve my online presence during video meetings and discussions with clients?

Ans: Hi Priya!

Wonderful to know that you are project manager and you want to improve your digital presence.

Body language is like learning any other language. It requires proper teaching, learning and then practicing the same to master it.

After the start of the work from home culture, taking care to present yourself well digitally has become very important.

It is important that you take care of your clothes, hair, make up, how much of you is visible, your backdrop, the angle of your camera, the use of your hands, the facial expressions, the voice modulation( so that ppl listen when you speak), you developing listening skills..... there is so much to learn.

Question by Sunil - Sep 10, 2024Hindi

Career

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).

Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.

Loads of best wishes to the whole family..
