Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX Well looking into your problem of abdominal fat , it is one of the most stubborn areas to lose fat , it also is a marker of insulin resistance . Whatever regimen you have mentioned is right but it is not going to show any results practically in such short time . You might be thinking that 2 months is enough but your body is not moulding that ways . Persistance is the key to a healthy body that you have to follow . Try having warm water throughout the day at least 8-10 glasses . Add chillies to your diet , capsacin increase your BMR significantly which will help you reduce stubborn fat. Take care. Dr. Shruti

Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for reverting back. Belly fat and thighs are the worst areas to lose weight because the human body is designed to store fat in these areas. Your ideal body weight should be less then 70 KG . No I will not advise for any fat burning supplement. BMR - BASAL METABOLIC RATE is the rate at which we burn fat in layman term . Capsacin is a compound found in chillies which increase your metabolism and helps in reducing weight. At least 4-6 months of consistent exercise are necessary for permanent fat loss . Dr. Shruti

Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Yes you can take honey and water it is beneficial in reducing weight . You should take more proteins in your diet for building muscles like spinach etc. Distribution of fat in ones body is individualised so there is no reason for it .its just your body habitus. You should get your thyroid hormone levels done , Serum TSH specially . You should get a physical trainer for yourself because may be you will require a exercise regimen designed for yourself that will focus on belly exercises . Dr. Shruti
