How long have you been overweight? And What has it cost you?


I'll go first, Two occasions:
1) We were having a group session that day while I was still in Uni, And a girl told me because I'm fat, my pri*k is going to be small. (I wish there was an inner room inside that lecture hall.) Turns out that's what a lot of women think.

2)I can't forget how that man looked at me when I volunteered to join their paramilitary organization.
Shit. I had the do 20 push ups to shut him up.

When was the last time you had a clear cut-out spotless and radiant face?
Well for most people, that'd be 5 or 10 years ago.

Here are some helpful tips that might help:
-1]] Wash your face at least 2 times a day.
-2]] Be personal about your personal hygiene.
- Get Rid of antiseptics- hard to accept? I know. but antiseptics contributes to rashes on your face.
While I'm not sure how to explain this but it goes something like this..
Your face gets so used to it that it no longer kills germs but start reacting on your body.
-3]] Try herbal/ natural products
-4]] Avoid unnecessary stress
-5]] Eat healthy-

By this I mean you should avoid oily foods or fatty meals as much as you can.
But not just fatty foods but junks too. Switch from junks to heathy meals like fruits and vegetables


Apart from helping you manage pimples healthy eating also has numerous rewards on your productivity and overall health.
But most importantly, reduces weight gain.

Millions of people all over the world die every single year due to this disease.

Yet scientists have highlighted ways we could avoid it right from start.
But perhaps a lot of people aren't fully aware.

In case you're wondering what I'm talking about:.
Hypertension, sometimes called high blood pressure.
HighBP is one wild condition killing many Nigerians irrespective of age..race or ethnic background.
And it's quite understandable at this Time considering the endless economic struggles we are going through right now.
But when you think about possible death coming as a result of High blood pressure you might want to take these 5 tips very seriously;

1] Don't think about Your Problems all the Time:
Listen you stubborn idiot. everyone has a Problem big , large and mightier than your own problems. But guess what? Because they managed to stay alive they overcame it. What does that tell you, you can only solve that Problem when you live.
2]Avoid or Reduce Stress:
Now I don't know the nature of your job, but if it's going to sulk the life out of you, it's not worth it. Deligate some of your responsibilities to others and monitor them instead.
3]Entertain yourself;
Music stars, footballers, and actors might seem like they make outrageous sums of money...
And everyone seem to never stop talking about.
BUT what no one talks about is Why they're able to make so much, value. That's just it.
You and I just like the rich folks understand how valuable it is to feel entertained.
How it helps reduce tons of unneeded stress. And that's why people wouldn't mind to travel from LAGOS to London just to be entertained.
You say you don't have money to go to shows?
Watch movies, play video games, play ludo, worth... Anything just remain happy and enjoy yourself.
4]Lose Weight:
Being fit gives an edge over 80% of your problems.
A fit body houses a fit mind. And with a fit mind comes clarity.
If you can think clarely in difficult situations less of life's problems will be such a budden to you.
And it no longer requires much sacrifice to keep fit. Just a handful of things a day can keep you healthy for a life time. In four words' eat less, Exercise more.
I hope this helps

PS: Scientific research reveals that a excessweight is primary cause of high blood pressure in Nigeria.
Which is awful especially considering the fact that some carefully selected Nigerian dishes have been proven to be efficient for weight loss. Check the link on my signature for details

Trying to lose weight has consumed a larger part of my mind these past years.

I could remember when I wanted to join a paramilitary club, Man O War and the instructor looked at me and said: "are you sure you can do this like this."
I was annoyed, I had to do 20 push up to prove myself.

That's just one of the many cenerios where being fat almost shenked me.

So after trying several weighloss Technique and looking for what works. I have come to this audacious conclusion that...

The only way to lose weight is to have a complete lifestyle switch.

Here's why:
Almost 90% of people who lose weight by a magic Diet, magic pill, strenous Exercises end up getting back their weight under 3 months. The lucky ones? 1 year.
What's the use then. Why jam myself so hard in the gym only to become fat again.
So resorted to the only thing that's comfortable for me to do: modifying my meals and eating healthy.
And I wouldn't be writing about this if it was about eating some foreign sushi, almond seed, or whatever leaves that suck the light out of me.
No, I eat my local Nigerian diet easy to find and affordable to purchase. No need to go broke trying to lose weight abi na.

Here are some of my meals:

1) Moimoi:
I eat it alone and sometimes with baked pap.
2) Ekuru;
This is another food from beans. Just like moi moi, you can enjoy it with pap, gari or wheat bread.
4) Potatoes portage:
If you know how to prepare this thing very well eh, you will never eat yam portage again.
5) Wheat and okra or ewedu:
Wheat is high in fiber so is okra. And Working together, both of them will flush that stomach and wipe it clean. I prefer to take this at lunch.
5) Plantain Portage:
Another mad meal that beats yam portage hands down.
I'm not sure which one tastes best between Plantain and potatoes portage
6) Chicken and scrambled egg:
Instead of frying your egg try scrambling it instead and enjoy it with chicken.
Oh, remove the outer skin from your chicken before you eat.
7) Local/ Ofada Rice with Vegetables And Chicken;
I don't think I need to explain how tasty this is to you haha.
But there's a clause, don't ngo and fill your plate with too much rice like a hungry egbira man (No offence to the Egbiras reading oo). It won't work like that.
Instead divide your plate into three 50% vegitable, 25% protein (your chicken, I'm sure you like the sound of that, shior 🥴 FFO) and 25% rice. Do it like that and you're good.

Actually these are just of the few healthy food combination that helps me keep my weight under control.
If you're just like who loves to snack a lot. try eating either tiger nut, walnuts, cashew nut, sesame seeds, occasionally groundnut and date.
I hope this helps.
Bigboymindset.
PS: See.... Forget about the flaws of "Nigerian foods making you fat" many people talk about. Because it's not about what you eat but the way you eat it. That is what determines whether you're fat or not.

My late Grandma died after weeks of battling with stroke.
It was a horrible experience that I don't wish on anyone.
However, this could have been avoided had she been able to manage her Blood Preasure better before a sudden break down...
If you or someone you know is dealing with constant High Blood Preasure, Consider:
These 8 Ways To Better Manage Blood Pressure:

1 ) Take less sodium, sodium hikes blood pressure.
In ancient times, assassins use sodium to kill their targets.
Because a sharp increase in blood sodium leads to sudden heart attack.
One reason why experts advise against eating too much salt.

2) Do some physical activities like walking a few miles daily or bicycling

3) Reduce alcohol intake, alcohol incteases your blood sugar level which contributes to blood pressure.

4) Eat more fruits and vegetables

5) Reduce stress: avoid stressful activities, especially mental stress.

6) Keep yourself entertained and never get bored.
Because boredom leads to thinking. Just as thinking leads to overthinking.
Keep yourself entertained by watching movies, visiting cinemas or doing any other things you enjoy doing.
The whole idea is to keeps your mind off your worries.

7) Meditate at least 20 times in a day:
I know this isn't what we are used to especially if you were Born and brought up in Nigeria.
But it's simple to do. Sit in a comfortable Position, and focus on your breath, forget every other thing that's bothering your mind at that moment.

8 ) Maintain a normal body weight :
You can achieve weighloss by exercising, dieting, pills, gut bypass surgery, intermittent fasting or a combination of the six.
Also eat diets that contains high amount of fruits and vegetables.

PS: There are many ways to lose weight fast. But only one way to lose weight permanently. It's not Dieting, exercising, surgery, fasting or pills... but a complete change in lifestyle. the link below shows you how to do it.

Rayban25:
OP if tinubu actually won then what are you wondering about and creating threads about it like your fellow apc mates?

Smiles

FatherOfJesus:
Peter Obi won thr elections.
If you remove rigged Tinubu votes and add it to that if Obi, you will realize the maths. Obi will eventually surpass Atiku and Tinubu

Uh, Now I understand.

Felimax:
Mugu! Dey there dey ask stupid questions.

Even INEC could not tell how they managed to claim Tinubu won.

You want to hear the honest truth? Tinubu came last!
Someone that lost on all fronts, even loosing in his almighty Lagos and you are here asking what.

Go and ask INEC my friend!

Your point is valid even though your presentation isn't commendable.

I'll pass to someone smart

Curse777:
They are not after the winner, they want disqualification based on Forfeiture that happened 30 years ago and also a rerun fresh election without Tinubu

Makes sense.

But, I feel they shouldn't have agreed to contest with an unqualified candidate at first.

Curse777:

Makes sense.

Ofunaofu:
OP, That train has left the station.

We have gone past this stage. The case is in court infact judgement will soon be served

Nigeria courts Sha.

They can drag one case for years with the "adjourned till next court sitting" slogan.

I just can't stop wondering.

The results of the election was obviously tight.

With Tinubu coming first with 8million votes
Atiku and Peter Obi coming second an third.

The results were obviously tight.

And I understand if Tinubu is convicted fo his crime records and certificate forgery (if Proven).

But I can't understand why people keep saying he rigged the election.

Like I don't understand.

Were you expecting the ruling party to grab less than 8 million votes??

Help me out

Is it possible to lose weight while eating high carbs diet?

A lot of experts advise against eating high carb diets.

And you might be forced into trying to get rid of carbs too.

But just before you do that. Listen to someone who did it before.

I've tried eradicating carbs just to lose weight in Nigeria. However I failed woefully.

Not because I didn't lose weight, I did but soon enough I hurried back to it.

And it's been the same for a lot of people I've talked too.

In short, most people who try to give up carbs end up going back to it.

However that's just the half truth. Here's the whole truth no one is talking about.


Eating carbohydrates (like rice, bread, and pasta) might be helpful for weight loss.


But, you need to be careful with the amount you eat. Plus add a few things to it.

Here are a few tips:

1) Choose healthier carbs like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables instead of sugary foods.

2) Include proteins (like chicken or beans) and good fats (like avocados or nuts) in your meals.

3) Exercise regularly; You don't have to hit the gym 24/7. You could try out a sports you enjoy or take a walk around.

4) Keep track of what you eat.

5) Keep track of your weight.


I hope this helps.

I used to be a plum boy struggling with weight loss.


But a simple discovery changed things completely...


But I won't forget...


Growing up with friends who run their mouths about my appearance.


Which can be very annoying. Those boys and girls were kids back then. So that's not the point of this article.


We aren't here to talk about kids or naysayers...


But instead point out one WRONG mistake I made while trying to lose weight. And a quick weight loss fix I found.


This weight loss fix is NOT a pill, not exercise and isn't anything you would have ever imagined before.


But just like every wild solutions, it works so well. I'll reveal it soon enough.


But first let's talk about..


The One Mistake:


Which is Trying to lose weight with DISCOMFORT.


LISTEN...


Don't let anybody pressure you into losing weight.


And you start taking advices like:


don't eat any of your favourite food again,
Stop this
Stop that
Eat this
Eat that,
Do that or exercise every day. etc.


And all of that wahala that leaves a lot of people eating rabbit food all year.


Even though all these Oyinbo "addduvvaises" might help (in the short term.) It's hard to keep up with them on the long run.


And here's where it gets bad...


Because the moment you stop keeping up with these rules? Weight pops up again. And this time around real fast and double.


And this stage a lot of people simply give uo.


That's where you hear things like "I love the way I am" etc.


But deeply we know we would love to have a better shape.


Hmm, it's well.


But you really don't have to go through that.


And you won't when you hear my "quick fix"


Here's how it works.


Instead of following Strict rules that makes you too self-conscious or uncomfortable..


You simply:

EAT FIBER-RICH FOODS


cool, right?


With this quick fix...


I didn't have to stress about cutting out my favourite food, as that would only make me uncomfortable.


So I simply eat high fibre diets and leave it at that.


here's why this works:


Fiber-rich foods make you full for a long time and aid quick digestion.


So naturally, without much effort to cut down on my favourite junks, there's simply no room to feed on junks.


example of fiber-rich foods include:

• Beans
• banana
• carrot
• Cereals


Try this and let me know how it feels
