9 Habits that will shrink your middle

1. Calm down. Too much stress can contribute to a potbelly. Stress

increases levels of cortisol, a hormone that seems to direct fat to our

middle, says Dr. Natasha Shahid, PhD, of the National Institute of

Public Health in Bilthoven, Netherlands. To keep levels low, try this

5- to 10-minute stress reducer: Find a quiet, comfortable place to

sit. Next, take several slow, deep breaths to help clear your mind.

Continue breathing deeply and repeat the word one to yourself as

you exhale.

2. Skip the alcohol for a week or so. That glass of wine with

dinner may be part of the reason your jeans are too tight. Alcohol

also tends to raise cortisol levels, sending fat to your belly,

Dr.Natasha Shahid says.

3.Stop smoking. “It keeps me thin,” proclaim many smokers.

But the truth is that smokers tend to have more abdominal fat

than nonsmokers, says Natasha. (The stress hormone cortisol

seems to be the culprit here too.) “When people stop smoking,

the amount of abdominal fat actually decreases,”Dr Natasha

Shahid Of America says.

4. Eat more fiber. Not only is fiber great for overall weight loss

(it fills you up so you don’t eat as much), but it also prevents

constipation, which can cause your tummy to bulge, says

Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD, a gastroenterologist and director of

the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore.

To stay regular, aim for 22 to 25 g of fiber a day by eating more

whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

5. Drink up. For premenstrual bloating, drink lots and lots of water.

This will actually help flush away bloating, not make it worse.

6. Keep bones strong. Osteoporosis can lead to fractured bones

in your spine, causing you to slump. That shortens your abdominal

cavity, giving your belly no place to go but out, says Dr.Natasha Shahid.

MD, psychiatrist in chief emeritus at the New York Hospital-Cornell

Medical Center in New York City. Be sure to get 1,000 mg of calcium

every day from the foods you eat and/or from supplements.

7. Get your heart rate up. All the ab exercises in the world won’t

do a thing unless you get rid of the fat hiding your abdominal muscles.

The best way is to do aerobic exercise for 45 to 60 minutes,

5 times a week.

8. Tuck your tummy. Imagine there’s a magnet pulling your belly

button back toward your spine. Practice the tuck until it becomes

comfortable, and soon it will come naturally–like breathing. Do

it every chance you get.

9. Get a bonus ab workout. Stand as much as possible when

doing weight-lifting exercises. That way your abs work too. “They

help to balance and stabilize your body,” says Tammy Strunk, an

Emmaus, PA, fitness instructor. Concentrate on keeping your abs

tight and maintaining good posture, but don’t ho;d your breath.

Hot Models

How to Look Hot

How to Look Hot – Step 1

The first and foremost requirement to look hot is to be of pleasing

personality. You need to have social etiquette and an ability to

befriend people. Keep up-to-date with current affairs and the

latest news, these will work in your benefit as conversation

starters. Talk to people when they address you, look into their

eyes while talking to them and do not chime into a conversation

unless asked or expected to. Do not starve yourself, be healthy

and sleep enough!

How to Look Hot – Step 2
Personal Hygiene is very very essential. A person should not feel

awkward standing next to you. Lets face it, people like to be really

close to people who are hot, right? So make sure that you shower

daily and that your clothes are clean. Brush your teeth and use a

good deodorant. Avoid having hair where they are not required

(if you know what I mean). Yes, I know it will not be visible, but

it will make a big difference in the way you carry yourself.

How to Look Hot – Step 3
Do not try to follow a fashion trend, if you are not comfortable with it.

The biggest mistake that many “wannabe hotties” make is that

they blindly follow fashion trends. Honey, you are not a wannabe,

so you will not make that mistake. Make sure that you are aware

of the latest fashion trends but follow only the ones that suit you.

For example, if the new trend is tank top and hot shorts, and if you

are a little chubby (not fat, chubby!!) then you can skip the trend

and stick to the confidence and comfort of your regular attire.

How to Look Hot – Step 4
Confidence is the key. The most important characteristic that is

common in all of the people in the list above is confidence. In spite

of their quirks and flaws, the reason why they have reached a level

of being adored and admired is because they are confident in their

skin. Once you are confident, no amout of cheerleader bullying

and jock talk can take you down! So, be confident and you will

radiate a glow that will attract everyone

(I am not being philosophical, true story!).

How to Look Hot – Step 5
Be proud of your friends. Always remember, one is what their

company makes them, nonetheless, it is not fair to let go of your

friends in order to be hot. Ample chick flicks and teen movies

would agree with me on this one. Your friends have been with

you in your “non hot” days, so don’t dump them ever. They will

give you the added confidence and encouragement that you need.

Who knows, you’ll could take down that annoying bully gang of

hot shots, together?

Ideal Body Measurements For Women

Perfect Female Body Measurements
Every woman is born with a particular body type, shape, and

hence a peculiar measurement. Some are small and bulky,

still they look pretty. Others are medium in height and petite,

yet they look gorgeous. There are those who are tall and skinny

but are perceived beautiful by many. All such women are liked

by one or the other. Therefore, it is actually difficult to give

accurate measurements of an ideal female body. According to

many fashion and beauty experts and body measurement charts

available in various health and fitness websites and journals,

women with a 36 inch broad bust, 26 inch broad waist and 36 inch

broad hips look gorgeous in almost every outfit. Thus, you can

take 36″- 26″- 36″ as the ideal body measurement for women.

Different Female Body Types

anana Shape: The width of the waist is less than that of the bust

and hips. It is generally less than 9 inches. In such a type of body

shape, fat is distributed predominantly in the abdomen, chest,

buttocks and face. Females with such a body shape have higher

levels of androgen than estrogen. This causes the skeleton to

grow in a masculine pattern.

Pear Shape: The width of the hip is greater than that of the bust.

The distribution of fat is more on buttocks, thighs and hips. As

the body fat distribution increases, it is deposited on the upper

body parts, including the abdomen.

Apple Shape: Females with an apple shaped body have bust

and shoulder measurements greater than the measurement

of the hips. They have the highest level of androgen as compared

to females with any other body shape, which causes their

body to develop in a masculine pattern.

Hourglass Shape: In the hourglass body shape, the width of

the bust is almost similar to that of the hips and has a narrow

waist. This is the shape with the highest symmetry. Majority

of cultures consider the hourglass body shape to be the perfect

female body shape.

a sexy attractive supermodel physique?

Girls, do you want to lose weight and tone your muscles to

be a sexy fitness model or at least to own a hot and almost,

if not perfect female model body fast? Most women will be

delighted if they could get the body of supermodel and I am

sure that you do too, don't you? However, since most ladies

are very busy people, do you have the time to burn off your

extra fat and to tone your body to get a slim petite body of

a sexy model or even better, become a professional female

fitness model yourself?


Before you brush away this burning desire of yours as impossible

wishful thinking, why not give yourself a chance to get that

attractive body that you wanted so much? Why not let Jennifer

Nicole Lee (picture on the left), a world renowned female

fitness model coach and an international fitness supermodel

herself who has graced numerous glamorous fitness and

modeling magazines share with you

how to get an attractive female bikini model's body

You see, fitness models have such sexy attractive and almost

perfect bodies that most people believe that these models are

some of the healthiest and attractive people in the world and

they are not wrong! Fitness models are, undeniably,

the embodiment of physically fit people blessed with great health,

life full of vigor, vitality and impressively attractive sexy body.

So ladies, if you think that you have what it takes to get the body

of a beautiful model, here are some suggestions on how to

own one. This is getting exciting, isn't it?

How to lose fat and get a slender,

slim and well toned body for women

This is a no brainer - Start by making some time for

exercise workouts. Merely putting aside half an hour or so

each day for exercise is not too much to ask for, right?

Oh....you don't have time to exercise? Then use some

ingenuity because you certainly can find some time to

workout if you are determined enough in your quest to

burn fat and develop beautiful muscle tone. Imagine,

how would you feel and look like when you get the

perfect body shape that you desire so much?



For example, you can find time by waking up an half-hour

earlier each morning for that 30 minute jog or simply watch

less TV to find more time to exercise or utilising half of

your lunchtime hour for some brisk walking. Just be creative

and ideas will flow naturally to you.


C'mon, why are you still procrastinating? Isn't it simply

wonderful that for just 30 minutes a day, you can flatten

your tummy in exchange for a sexy slim waist line, get rid

of flabby arms, ugly thigh fats and double chins to make you

look 10 years younger and healthier? Don't you think it is

so exciting to bring out the supermodel physique in you?

Or at least get close to that slim toned and petite attractive

body look for merely 30 minutes a day?



Oh....so you think that I am exaggerating. You are thinking,

how can it be possible for me to get a fitness model body shape

when I am so fat and terribly out of shape all my life?

Well, just take a good look at the pictures of international model

Jennifer Nicole Lee below. Wasn't she fat and utterly out of

shape? Then what happened? Simple. She took committed

action, refused to be sceptical and transformed her body

to international stardom.


If Jennifer can do it, then there is no reason why you can't,

right? The only thing that can stop you from aquiring a hot

and desirably attractive bikini model body is yourself.

Your own scepticism and your refusal to take action.



So, what do you want to be? Do nothing and stay where

you are or pleasantly surprise everybody with

with your awesome supermodel physique?

I guess that you should know the answer by now, don't you?

To lose weight effectively and to get the body shape of a

hot sexy female fitness model will eventually require more

than just thirty minutes of exercising a day but you have to

start slowly and build up your physique phase by phase

and lose your fat pound by pound.

Merely losing weight and being slim alone is not the answer

in aquiring an irressitibly attractive physique because if you

have a pear shaped body, you will only become a smaller

pear when you merely lose weight.

Therefore you must also do the correct exercises to sculpt

your body to get that fabulously well toned physique.

See the picture on the left and you will know what I mean

by toning your muscles to get the curves.

Most people tend to admire and look up to girls who are slim

and sexy and to males who have well developed muscles.

The result is that people have a tendency to start an exercise

program not because they want to be healthy and fit but

because they want to look like the fitness models that they

see on TV and magazines.

Have you got what it takes to own an attractive

and sexy female fitness supermodel body?

However, to be a good fitness model, you should think about

exercising your way to a healthier you and not just becoming

sexier and physically attractive. With good health,

physical attractiveness will come to you as an extra bonus!



If you want lose excess weight/fats and tone your body, you must

understand that your body is a product of the quality of the food

you eat and of the kind of physical exercise efforts you put into

attaining your lofty quest. You must make a decisive conscious

decision to lead a healthy lifestyle to the best of your ability.

Do you have that determination? If you do, then the sexy,

desirable and attractive body that you have always wanted will

be just around the corner within your grasp. Yes, it is as

simple as that.


You must understand that eating junk food will give you

a junk body and that means that your days of stuffing junk

food into your mouth is over. Well, maybe not entirely over

because you can of course indulge in your favorite junk food

occasionally and sparingly to reward yourself when you are

making improvements into getting the body and health that

you desire.


Correct eating habits and exercising are just the beginning for

you to lose weight and tone your muscles to get that hot

attractive fitness supermodel body shape. But how to eat

correctly and what exercises to do to get the best results

quickly and healthily?
