Little Bump!

Keresh and co:

You're a man, and you have more or less a big bump around your abdomen. In some ways, it doesn't matter because you’re a man! And on some other days, your’e like ‘ahh, just a few kilos would help’. So basically, you keep on over eating on weekends, and then on Mondays, you promise yourself you'll eat light all week to decrease the ‘keresh’. By Tuesday night, you feel like having a beer with the guys, Or, you're feel proud about your salad/soup/grilled fish Monday, that you reward yourself with pizza or some fries. Your main problem is that you lie to yourself. You can reduce your belly a few centimeters by simplymaking a few swaps, meal by meal.

Breakfast time:

You're a man’oucheh or croissant lover, you’d start your day with your daily indulgence. Well, time to make of it a very special moment, by cutting it down to once per week. Focus on low fat cheese, turkey, or labneh, with brown bread and plenty of vegetables. If you eat out, ask for a white cheese sandwich. You feel like something sweet, well go for some rice cakes, or cracottes, with a hint of peanut butter and strawberry jam. Stick to 3 toasts, and have a fruit with it. Voila, you got your sugary dose.

Lunchtime at the office:

You're at the office, it’s around 12, and like everyday, you are thinking about your lunch options. It's either chich taouk with fries, or a burger, or a pizza. And when you feel like keeping it light, you order a plat du jour with dessert, bread and salad, and eat it all. Well here's what you need to do: skip the fries, the mayo, and this sides that are not green. divide your plate into 3 pieces, and eat 2/3 of it. Ask for greens or cucumbers, and go for a lettuce salad with lemon oil dressing as a side when you can. Or simply, just skip delivery foods. Anything you'll get from home, or from the cantina, is generally lighter than delivery foods. Aim at reasonable portions, not too small and not too big, and have a veggie side or a fruit with it.

Afternoon snack:

You're on your way back home, and you're already excited for your TV ongoing snack. You get a bag of chips, nuts, a beer and watch TV for two hours, while waiting for dinner time. Well, take these two hours, and go exercise. Yes, exercise! The fats around your imaginary six-pack will not vanish if you keep your ass on the couch. Go for a walk;go to the gym, go boxing, swimming, or whatever gets you moving. Sit ups in front of the TV for 10 minutes do notcount as exercising.

Dinner:

Eat with a girl. That's my main advice! Mimic her food choices, and try her foods. Well, in other words, greens, a set portion of whatever is available, little bread... The point is to go to bed feeling light.

Today is Tuesday guys, move in with your week on the right track. Stick to my flatness rules, and you will lose your little bump in no time.
