How can I lose my stomach fat?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fat accumulation around waist needs lifestyle modifications in the form of diet and exercise. Do portion control of meals and include low carbohydrate, low fat and high protein foods in diet. Moderate to high intensity exercises such as jogging, running, lifting weights and crunches are to be done for at least 5 days in a week and each session must be at least 45 minutes.

View allI'm working night shifts and I'm struggling with my weight. I usually sleep around 5 a.m., and I've been losing weight. Could you suggest a diet or any tips to help me stabilize my weight while working such hours?
Night shift work can disrupt metabolism and appetite. To maintain weight and energy, consider: Dietary Recommendations 1. Eat nutrient-dense foods: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 2. Hydrate adequately: Drink plenty of water throughout the night shift. 3. Balance macronutrients: Aim for 15-20% protein, 25-35% fat, and 55-65% carbohydrates. 4. Snack smart: Choose energy-boosting snacks like nuts, fruits, and energy bars. 5. Avoid heavy meals: Eat light meals 2-3 hours before work to prevent indigestion. Meal Ideas 1. Breakfast (pre-shift): Overnight oats, whole-grain toast with avocado, or Greek yogurt with fruit. 2. Mid-shift snack: Fresh fruits, energy bars, or trail mix. 3. Dinner (post-shift): Grilled chicken or fish with vegetables, quinoa, or brown rice. 4. Before bed snack: Herbal tea with honey or a light, easily digestible snack. Additional Tips 1. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. 2. Exercise regularly, but avoid intense workouts before shifts. 3. Manage stress through relaxation techniques. 4. Limit caffeine and sugary drinks.
