      There’s also a pill call Xndo…its suppose work like a fats blocker and block the fats in the food from being absorbed by the body. Not too sure how safe this is though.

        What exercise works best to slim down tummy?


        I don't know how true is this, someone once told me that the fats around the tummy are more stubborn. Before one can lose the tummy fats effectively through exercises that tone the tummy, one has to first lose the \"other\" fats - this is dependent on individual's body. Only when one's overall body fats is sufficient trimmed, can one see the effect on the tummy.

        I have not idea how true is the above \"advice\".

        this is very true. When one exercises, fats will be \"burned\" off. However, you don't really know which part of your body fats will be burned off. It all depends on your body composition. Varies from person to person. However, for the vast majority, the fats in the abdomen area is usually the last to be burned off.

        There is no exercise that specifically targets the fats in the abdomen. The crunches, sit ups, etc... all strengthens and tones the abdominal muscles, but doesn't do much in terms of burning off the fats in that area. If you focus on crunches, you will get toned abdominals, but you will not get to see it if it is covered by a layer of fat.

        The bottom line is that you need to do cardio exercises to burn off all the fats in your body before you see a reduction of fats in the abdominal area. Once fat in that area is minimized to low double digits (% body fat), you'll get to see your toned abs from the crunches.

        For effective cardio exercises, you'll need to achieve at least 70% and above of your maximum heart rate to burn fat. Start off with 70% and work your way up up.

          walking and running will help slim down. My DH lost 10 kg in 10 weeks just from running and lost 4 inches off the waist.

              We have tried this drink. The ingredents are prune, honey, etc.


              U just have to drink 3x daily after food.

              I have digestion problem especialy after eating too much oily food, this drink ease my digestion pain. It will help you to digest as well as clear your bowel system. Person with poor bowel system will get good result on this too.

              The DJ violet (粉樱) from FM97.2 also is the spokewoman for this product.

              Currently there is new favour but we have been drinking the old favour (Pink colour in packaging). 1 box for $6.90. can buy from the Watson, pharmacy or other medical hall.

              Happy slimming.

                      Hi Mvm, they are shoes for lightweight toning. You can wear them for walking/running/exercising. The shoes has a diagonal bottom that adjust your stride. Initially when you tried on it, you might feel it's weird on your feet. But trust me you will get used to it pretty fast & enjoy running in it. There are different models that cater for different needs. If knee support is your concern, they do have one new design that gives you the extra cushioned base that protects your joints. The sales personnel told me the design was such that it will spread the impact from your knees. If I remember correctly the price for that is more than $200 but less than $300.

                      I bought my Shape-ups Liv Skechers for $150+ inclusive of GST at causeway point last Sunday. Saw a few old models on 50% discount.
