Hi Komal
This is Pramila -- height: 5.4; weight: 58kgs, age: 36 years.
I am a working woman and sit for around 7-8 hours daily.
I am in sound health but I have a fat belly and fat thighs.
I do all the household chores.
I do a 10 minute brisk walk while going to office rather hiring an auto.
Sometimes, I run to catch a train also. Still, my belly fat is not reducing.
I am a pure vegetarian. I eat fresh cooked food, all type of vegetable, fruits and nuts. But daily I eat different biscuits.
I visited a doctor for pigmentation marks on my face. The doctor said I have nutrition issues.
Please help.
Thank you so much.

Ans: Fitness is attained with nutrition and exercise.
Doing regular household chores and short walks unfortunately does not contribute to fat burning.
Body fat can be shed by strength and endurance training wherein muscle build up and fat loss is the target.
Cardio activities are essential as well along with this.
Immobility for long periods does cause fat deposition in the most vulnerable areas of our body like belly and hips, where women have a high fat percentage.
Biscuits are generally made of refined flour and processed fat which contribute unhealthy and harmful transfats to our body. The high carbohydrate and sodium content will increase the risk of lifestyle disorders
So follow a healthy lifestyle devoid of excess carbs and fat, plus align yourself towards a fitness goal.
