What should I do??? Most people facing the same problem with: Whenever they sit down, their stomach spills over my pants, skirt or jeans. How can they get rid of this roll of fat?

Eating a balanced diet and cutting down on your intake of carbohydrates will help reduce overall body fat. Regular exercise will also help increase energy expenditure and tone abdominal muscles.

Fat that doesn’t budge with diet and exercise can be treated with Slim Laser Body Contouring, which is suitable for areas like the abdomen, love-handles, thighs, arms and back. It is a minimally invasive procedure with minimum downtime. It uses a powerful io-watt Nd:YAG laser to melt and destroy fat cells before they are removed from the body.

But most people also worry about the painful while process?

The entire treatment is performed under skin anesthesia, but if you are concerned about pain, a mild sedative can be administered. Although pain thresholds differ in individuals, most women report minimal discomfort.

Will I have to take time off from work after the procedure?

The entire treatment is done in one session of a few hours, and you’ll be able to return home on the same day. Most people return to work in a day or two.

What kind of results can you expect?

As with any treatment, results vary between individuals, although most people notice a noticeable reduction in the treated area immediately after the treatment.

Buy freshly-squeezed juices and yogurt in small servings, or cereal and instant oatmeal in sachets. Read and compare labels as some breakfast cereals and energy bars can be very high in sugar.

Hard-boil an egg the night before or pack leftovers like pizza. Or cook and refrigerate a luxurious breakfast, like an omelet stuffed with chicken and bell peppers, or a whole-meal ham sandwich, and have it with a serving of fruit.

Stash a muffin, a hard-boiled egg, yogurt or an apple in your bag and eat them on the way to work. Alternatively, have some ready-to-eat cereal with a banana and a small carton of low-fat milk.

Opt for low-sugar, high-fiber, high-protein choices, such as soya bean milk or bean curd, fish porridge or cut fruit from the market; a half- boiled egg and toast, or bun from the coffee-shop; or milk and cereal from 24-hour marts. Also suggests a wholegrain bread roll with low-fat cheese or tuna, and coffee with milk. Sweet pastries or fried food offer a temporary spurt of energy but set you up for a massive slump in the late morning.
