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
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.
