Business / Nigeria Cuts Gas Supply To Ghana Over Strike by ify01: 5:36am On Sep 18, 2014
The indefinite strike embarked upon by some workers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has led to the stoppage of gas supply to Ghana through the West African Gas Pipeline.

The NNPC branches of the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria embarked on the strike after failing to resolve a dispute with the management of the corporation over pension and other issues.
“I understand there is no gas flowing into the West African Gas Pipeline due to the strike by the oil workers in the NNPC,” the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, West African Gas Pipeline Company, Harriet Wereko-Brobby, told our correspondent on Wednesday.

Early this year, Ghana was hard hit by gas supply shortage to its power plants due to significant reduction in supplies as Nigeria failed to meet its gas supply obligations by more than 50 per cent of the contractual volume.

Nigeria is contractually bound to supply 120 million cubic feet per day of gas to Ghana through the transnational gas pipeline. But the supply through the WAGP fell to about 30 mmscfd earlier in the year.

A cut in the supply of gas from Nigeria to Ghana through the WAGP is “not good news” and could damage the latter’s economy if prolonged, Ghana’s Central Bank Governor, Henry Wampah, told a news conference on Wednesday,Reutersreported.
“The Nigerian authorities communicated this bad news to us this (Wednesday) afternoon. We are working out emergency measures to forestall adverse effects on individuals and industries,” a highly placed source at the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum told the Daily Graphic in Accra.
“What the stoppage of gas flow to Ghana means is that the Asogli Power Plant will shut down because it runs only on gas,” the source said.

The Asogli Power Plant augments Ghana’s energy needs with an average of 180 megawatts.
“This is certainly not good because other power plants are operating below capacity due to maintenance schedules, delay in crude oil supply and other factors,” the source said.
Ghanaians, local and foreign businesses have been grappling with problems associated with the intermittent supply of electricity for several months.

The water level in the Akosombo Dam keeps dropping, while power plants in the country continuously operate below capacity.
The suspension of gas supply from the WAGP is said to have aggravated the already precarious power situation in the country.

Despite the challenges, the source gave an assurance that work was on schedule to tie the Atuabo Gas Plant to the Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel, being operated by Tullow Oil Plc.
Thermal plants in the country are also expected to be powered by the gas, which will flow from the Atuabo Gas Plant.

Additionally, two power barges expected to generate a total of 450MW are being built in Turkey and are expected to be shipped to Ghana before the end of the second quarter of 2015.

Recently, there was an eight-month break in gas supplies from Nigeria to Ghana after a vessel broke one of the gas pipelines in Togo in August 2012.

The WAGP, which runs from Nigeria’s gas-rich Niger Delta region to Takoradi in Ghana, shipped an average of 65 mmcfd of natural gas to Ghana in 2012. The pipeline was shut down later in the year following damage to the Togolese section of the pipeline after suspected oil thieves vandalised it.

Protracted delays in repairing the pipeline resulted in no gas supply to Ghana for several months. In 2013, between 40 mmcfd and 50 mmcfd was supplied to Ghana.

With current capacity of 170 mmcfd, the WAGP, which is the first sub-regional natural gas project in sub-Saharan Africa, was initiated by the governments of Nigeria, Benin, Ghana and Togo to supply gas from the Escravos region of the Niger Delta to feed the gas-fired generating plants of the participating countries.

The NNPC workers’ strike, if not resolved soon, could hit petrol imports and distribution as the corporation accounts for 60 per cent of the Nigeria’s petrol imports, industry analysts have said, adding that it will also affect crude oil production and the country’s revenue.

5. PHP Concatenation





You can join together direct text, and whatever is in your variable. The full stop (period or dot, to some) is used for this. Suppose you want to print out the following "My variable contains the value of 10". In PHP, you can do it like this:

<?php

$first_number = 10;

$direct_text = 'My variable contains the value of ';

print($direct_text . $first_number);

?>

So now we have two variables. The new variable holds our direct text. When we're printing the contents of both variables, a full stop is used to separate the two. Try out the above script, and see what happens. Now delete the dot and then try the code again. Any errors?

You can also do this sort of thing:

<?php

$first_number = 10;

print ('My variable contains the value of ' . $first_number);

?>

This time, the direct text is not inside a variable, but just included in the Print statement. Again a full stop is used to separate the direct text from the variable name. What you've just done is called concatenation. Try the new script and see what happens.

4. More PHP Variable Practice



In the previous section, you started to work with variables. You outputted text to a page. In the next few sections, you'll do some more work with variables, and learn how to do your sums with PHP.

But now that you can print text to a page, let's try some numbers. Start with the basic PHP page again, and save your work as variables2.php:

<html>

<head>

<title>More on Variables</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

print ("Basic Page"wink;

?>

</body>

</html>

We'll now set up a variable and print it to the page. So change your code to this:

<?php

$first_number = 10;

print ($first_number);

?>

All the code does is to print the contents of the variable that we've called $first_number. Remember: if you're printing direct text then you need quotation marks; if you're printing a variable name then you leave the quotes out. To see why, run the first script above. Then change the print line to this:

print ("$first_number"wink;

In other words, add double quotation marks around your variable name. Did it make a difference? What did you expect would print out? Now change the double quotes to single quotes. Run your script again. With double quotes, the number 10 still prints; with single quotes, you get the variable name!

Exercise

Change the text "It Worked!" to anything you like. Then run the script again. Try typing some numbers in between your double quotes, instead of text.

Exercise

Change the double quotes to single quotes. Did it have any effect? Put a single quote at the beginning of your text, and a double quote at the end. What happens when you run the code?

Exercise

Delete the dollar sign from the variable name. Then run your code. What error did you get? Put the dollar sign back, but now delete the semi-colon. Run your code again? What error did you get, this time? It's well worth remembering these errors - you'll see them a lot when you're starting out! If you see them in future, you'll be better able to correct your errors.

Now that you're up and running, we'll do some more variable work in the next section.

3. Some Practice with PHP Variables


In the previous section, you saw what variables are: storage areas to hold things like numbers and text. You tell PHP to remember these values because you want to do something with them. In this section, you'll get some practice using variables. Off we go.

Testing variables with PHP


First, we'll take a look at how to display what's in your variables. We're going to be viewing our results on a web page. So see if you can get this script working first, because it's the one we'll be building on. Using a text editor like Notepad, or your PHP software, type the following. (You can copy and paste it, if you prefer. But you learn more by typing it out yourself - it doesn't really sink in unless you're making mistakes!)


<html>
<head>
<title>Variables - Some Practice</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php print("It Worked!"wink; ?>
</body>
</html>

When you've finished typing it all, save the page as variables.php. Then Run the script. Remember: when you're saving your work, save it to the WWW folder, as explained before. To run the page, start your browser up and type this in the address bar:

http://localhost/variables.php

If you've created a folder inside the www folder, then the address to type in your browser would be something like:

http://localhost/FolderName/variables.php

If you were successful, you should have seen the text "It worked!" displayed in your browser. If so, Congratulations! You have a working server up and running! (If you're using Wampserver, you should see an icon in the bottom right of your screen. Click the icon and select Start All Services from the menu.)
The PHP script is only one line long:

<?php print("It Worked!"wink; ?>

The rest of the script is just plain HTML code. Let's examine the PHP in more detail.
We've put the PHP in the BODY section of an HTML page. Scripts can also, and often do, go between the HEAD section of an HTML page. You can also write your script without any HTML. But before a browser can recognise your script, it needs some help. You have to tell it what kind of script it is. Browsers recognise PHP by looking for this punctuation (called syntax):

<?php ?>

So you need a left angle bracket ( < ) then a question mark ( ? ). After the question mark, type PHP (in upper or lowercase). After your script has finished, type another question mark. Finally, you need a right angle bracket ( > ). You can put as much space as you like between the opening and closing syntax.

To display things on the page, we've used print( ). What you want the browser to print goes between the round brackets. If you're printing direct text, then you need the quotation marks (single or double quotes). To print what's inside of a variable, just type the variable name (including the dollar). Finally, the line of code ends as normal - with a semi-colon (wink. Another way to display things on the page is to use an alternative to print() – echo().

Now let's adapt the basic page so that we can set up some variables. We'll try some text first. Keep the HTML as it is, but change your PHP from this:

<?php print("It Worked!"wink; ?>

To this:

<?php
print("It Worked!"wink;
?>

OK, it's not much of a change! But spreading your code out over more than one line makes it easier to see what you're doing. Now, it's clear that there's only one line of code - Print. So add this second line to your code (the one in red):

<?php
$test_String = "It Worked!";
print("It Worked!"wink;
?>

We've set up a variable called $test_String. After the equals sign, the text "It Worked!" has been added. The line is then ended with a semi-colon. Don't run your script yet. Change the Print line to this:

print($test_String);

Then add some comments ...

<?php
//--------------TESTING VARIABLES------------

$test_String = "It Worked!";

print($test_String);

?>

Comments in PHP are for your benefit. They help you remember what the code is supposed to do. A comment can be added by typing two slashes. This tells PHP to ignore the rest of the line. After the two slashes, you can type anything you like.

Another way to add a comment, is like this:

<?php
/* --------------TESTING VARIABLES------------
Use this type of comment if you want to spill over to more than one line.
Notice how the comment begin and end.
*/
$test_String = "It Worked!";
print($test_String);
?>

Which ever method you choose, make sure you add comment to your code: they really do help. Especially if you have to send your code to someone else!

But you can now run the script above, and test it out.

How did you get on?

You should have seen that exactly the same text got printed to the page. And you might be thinking - what's the big deal? Well, what you just did was to pass some text to a variable, and then have PHP print the contents of the variable. It's a big step: your coding career has now begun!

2. Putting Text into Variables

In our previous lesson, you saw how to put numbers into variables. But you can also put text into your variables. Suppose you want to know something about the coats you own. Are they Winter coats? Jackets? Summer coats? You decide to catalogue this, as well. You can put direct text into your variables. You do it in a similar way to storing numbers:


$coats1 = "Winter Coats";


Again, our variable name starts with a dollar sign ($). We've then given it the name coats1. The equals sign follows the variable name. After the equals sign, however, we have direct text - Winter Coats. But notice the double quotation marks around our text. If you don't surround your direct text with quotation marks, then you'll get errors. You can, however, use single quotes instead of double quotes. So you can do this:


$coats1 = 'Winter Coats';


But you can't do this:


$coats1 = 'Winter Coats";


In the above line, we've started with a single quote and ended with a double quote. This will get you an error.
We can store other text in the same way:


$coats2 = "Jackets";


$coats3 = "Summer Coats";


The direct text will then get stored in the variable to the left of the equals sign.
So, to recap, variables are storage areas. You use these storage areas to manipulate things like text and numbers.
You'll be using variables a lot, and on the next few lessons you'll see how they work in practice.

> PHP Two -Getting Started With Variables

1. What is a Variable?

A variable is just a storage area. You put things into your storage areas (variables) so that you can use and manipulate them in your programmes. Things you'll want to store are numbers and text.

If you're ok with the idea of variables, then you can move on. If not, think of them like this. Suppose you want to catalogue your clothing collection. You enlist two people to help you, a man and a woman. These two people are going to be your storage areas. They are going to hold things for you, while you tally up what you own. The man and the woman, then, are variables.

You count how many coats you have, and then give these to the man. You count how many shoes you have, and give these to the woman. Unfortunately, you have a bad memory. The question is, which one of your people (variables) holds the coats and which one holds the shoes? To help you remember, you can give your people names! You could call them something like this:

mr_coats
mrs_shoes


But it's entirely up to you what names you give your people (variables). If you like, they could be called this:

man_coats
woman_shoes


Or

HimCoats
HerShoes


But because your memory is bad, it's best to give them names that help you remember what it is they are holding for you. (There are some things your people balk at being called. You can't begin their names with an underscore (_), or a number. But most other characters are fine.)

OK, so your people (variables) now have name. But it's no good just giving them a name. They are going to be doing some work for you, so you need to tell them what they will be doing. The man is going to be holding the coats. But we can specify how many coats he will be holding. If you have ten coats to give him, then you do the "telling" like this:

mr_coats = 10

So, the variable name comes first, then an equals sign. After the equals sign, you tell your variable what it will be doing. Holding the number 10, in our case. (The equals sign, by the way, is not really an equals sign. It's called an assignment operator. But don't worry about it, at this stage. Just remember that you need the equals sign to store things in your variables.)

However, you're learning PHP, so there's something missing. Two things, actually. First, your people (variables) need a dollar sign at the beginning (people are like that). So it would be this:

$mr_coats = 10

If you miss the dollar sign out, then your people will refuse to work! But the other thing missing is something really picky and fussy - a semi-colon. Lines of code in PHP need a semi-colon at the end:

$mr_coats = 10;

If you get any parse errors when you try to run your code, the first thing to check is if you've missed the semi-colon off the end. It's very easy to do, and can be frustrating. The next thing to check is if you've missed out a dollar sign. But back to our people (variables).

So the man is holding ten coats. We can do the same thing with the other person (variable):

$mrs_shoes = 25;

So, $mrs_shoes is holding a value of 25. If we then wanted to add up how many items of clothes we have so far, we could set up a new variable (Note the dollar sign at the begining of the new variable):

$total_clothes

We can then add up the coats and the shoes. You add up in PHP like this:

$total_clothes = $mr_coats $mrs_shoes;

Remember, $mr_coats is holding a value of 10, and $mrs_shoes is holding a value of 25. If you use a plus sign, PHP thinks you want to add up. So it will work out the total for you. The answer will then get stored in our new variable, the one we've called $total_clothes. You can also add up like this:

$total_clothes = 10 35;

Again, PHP will see the plus sign and add the two together for you. Of course, you can add up more than two items:

$total_clothes = 10 45 7 38 1640;

But the idea is the same - PHP will see plus signs and then add things up. The answer is then stored in your variable name, the one to the left of the equals sign.

In the next lesson, we'll take a look at how to put text into variables.

Webmasters / CAPTCHA - Are You Human Or Computer? by ify01: 10:02am On Sep 03, 2014
CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. At one glance, it sounds like rocket science; however, in another five minutes time you will agree that you not only knew about it but have also used it a dozen times.

What is it?

Whenever you fill up a form on the web, the last section consists of a box with a hazy background and a string of malformed alphabets and numbers. The instructions above or below indicate that this is a test of your humanness; to test whether the person filling a form is a person and not a computer. This is what is called a CAPTCHA. You are allowed access to a website only if you type and submit those twisted alphabets and numbers and if the typed letters match those in the provided image.

This CAPTCHA technology is also called as a reverse Turing Test. The Turing Test is the brainchild of Alan Turing. The main premise of the Turing test was to determine whether or not computers have the ability to think or appear to think like humans. The reverse Turning Test tries to show that the computer is definitely not human. The term CAPTCHA has been trademarked by Carnegie Mellon University.

Why are CAPTCHAs used?

Entering the CAPTCHA is a criterion if you want to post a comment to a website or blog. It is a kind of security code and was introduced with the intention of reducing the amount of spam by preventing bots from participating in online polls and generating free emails. Spammers, although they exist in very small numbers, their activity can intercept the activity of millions of website users.

You might wonder why the characters in a CAPTCHA are distorted, sometimes stretched, blurred or reduced in size. Also, every image is different each time. It is done intentionally to make it more unreadable to computers. It obscures the image from interpretation. Also, if it is static it would be easy for the spammer to spot the form, decipher the letters and develop an application that would allow even computers to enter the pattern and pass the test.
You will be surprised to know that your computer that does five digit calculations in minutes and stores huge amounts of data has a hard time passing the simple test. We use words and numbers when interacting on the computer, but it cannot understand it. Computers make use of a special coded language. Raising the level of difficulty further the CAPTCHA technology makes use of images of a language and further obscures the image from interpretation. There are audio CAPTCHAs as well.

ReCAPTCHA is the most popular CAPTCHA. A computer cannot verify the contents of a scanned piece of paper. Thus, it uses the help of humans to identify it. Here's how it works. The application selects two words from the digitized image one of which it already recognizes. When you type in first word correct, it recognizes you as human and not a computer and then waits for your response to the next word. The second word is sent to many other users and the correct interpretation is based on general consensus. The word is then added to the verified pool.

The CAPTCHA technology has evolved over the years. Microsoft has recommended ASIRRA (Animal Species Image Recognition for Restricting Access). It requires users to identify photographs of cats and dogs which humans can do easily but computers can't.

Fashion / Fine Or Fashion: Fashion Jewellery - A Good Investment? by ify01: 9:37am On Sep 03, 2014
Most women dream of owning precious gems someday; after all diamonds are a girl's best friend. However fine jewellery or real gems are very expensive and the price of good quality stones are beyond most of our budgets. Besides, unless you can buy high quality real gemstones you are better off investing in high quality fashion jewellery. Just like real gems, fashion jewellery, if treated, with care can last a lifetime while having a stunning effect on any outfit.

A matter of fact, making a statement in fashion jewellery is more possible and dramatic unless you have access to money that can purchase big expensive gems. When it comes to fashion jewellery women are spoilt for choice with a wide range of websites and several department stores offering a wide range of high quality fashion jewellery for special occasions at a fraction the cost of real gems.

With personal care and attention, fashion jewellery can last a lifetime. Just apply these few simple tips:

• Wrap your pieces in tissue paper and make sure you store your jewellery in a box or pouch. Do not store multiple pieces in the same box or pouch but separately. This keeps air away from your jewellery, reducing the risk of tarnish. A jewellery box or drawer with separate compartments is another great way to store jewellery and keep them away from dust and moisture.

• If your jewellery is tarnished there are several ways to clean it. Apply a baking soda based toothpaste and clean with a soft brush or cloth. The baking soda will give your jewellery an immaculate shine. Alternatively use a tarnish cloth to wipe and shine your pieces. Baking soda is also great for shining real gems and helps to make diamonds sparkle.

• Do not throw away your jewellery if broken. Many jewellery breaks can be repaired with jump rings, new clasps, new eye pins or head pins. If you lose an earring use the other one as a pendant rather than throwing it away.

• Keep your jewellery away from water, chemicals and cosmetics and do not wear your jewellery when engaging in sporting activities or housework.

• Your jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off while dressing and undressing. This way you will avoid the cosmetics and chemicals that spill, stain or drop on jewellery and this could destroy them.

You should avoid getting chemicals such as perfume, hair spray, deodorant, household cleaning fluids near your jewellery.

• Do not let your jewellery drop or bounce against objects as this can cause scratches and abrasions to occur. Try not to wear the same pieces every day but alternate them and mix and match your pieces which will protect and help to preserve them.

2. What you need to get started with PHP

Before you can write and test your PHP scripts, there's one thing you'll need - a server! Fortunately, you don't need to go out and buy one. In fact, you won't be spending any extra money. That's why PHP is so popular! But because PHP is a server-sided scripting language, you either have to get some web space with a hosting company that supports PHP, or make your computer pretend that it has a server installed. This is because PHP is not run on your PC - it's executed on the server. The results are then sent back to the client PC (your computer).

Don't worry if this all sounds a little daunting - we've come across an easier way to get you up and running. We're going to be using some software called Wampserver. This allows you to test your PHP scripts on your own computer. It installs everything you need, if you have a Windows PC. We'll explain how to get it installed in a moment, and where to get it from. But just a word for non-windows users.

Apple Users

If you have OS X, then try these sites to get up and running with PHP:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/07/apache.html
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

What you're doing here is getting the apache server up and running, so that you can run PHP scripts offline. Pay particular attention to where files are stored, and to the "localhost" address.

Linux Users

There are quite a few sites out there to help Linux users get up and running with the Apache server and PHP. Here are three sites that are worth checking out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)

http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/wikis/php-tutorial/installing-php-and-mysql.aspx
http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/12/0.php

If you know any better ones, I'd be interested in hearing from you!

Windows Users
OK, back to Wampserver and Windows. First, you need to download the software. You can get it from here (this site has nothing to do with Brykt Forums):

Download Wampserver

Be sure to click the link for Presentation, as well as the link for Downloads. The Presentation page shows you how to install the file.

1. What is PHP and Why do I need it?
PHP is probably the most popular scripting language on the web. It is used to enhance web pages. With PHP, you can do things like create username and password login pages, check details from a form, create forums, picture galleries, surveys, and a whole lot more. If you've come across a web page that ends in PHP, then the author has written some programming code to liven up the plain, old HTML.
PHP is known as a server-sided language. That's because the PHP doesn't get executed on your computer, but on the computer you requested the page from. The results are then handed over to you, and displayed in your browser. Other scripting languages you may have heard of are ASP, Python and Perl. (You don't need to know any of these to make a start on PHP. In fact, these tutorials assume that you have no programming experience at all.)

The most popular explanation of just what PHP stands for is "Hypertext Pre-processor". But that would make it HPP, surely? An alternative explanation is that the initials come from the earliest version of the program, which was called Personal Home Page Tools. At least you get the letters "PHP" in the right order!
But PHP is so popular that if you're looking for a career in the web design/web scripting industry then you just have to know it! In these tutorials, we'll get you up and running. And, hopefully, it will be a lot easier than you think.

Course Files
As you follow along with these tutorials, I'll make a link to our Course files.
You'll also need to have a server, to test your scripts. Don't worry, though - we've found an easy way to get a server up and running on your own PC.
Drop your coments so i can go on.

Health / Ladies: Why You Must Stop Wearing Tight Panties by ify01: 3:05am On Jul 09, 2014
For women, it is almost a must to wear panties. While some go for loose panties, a large number go for tight-fitting ones just to give a s*x appeal!

[url= http://brykt.wapka.me]Brykt[/url]
If only they knew that tight undergarments pose a danger to one’s health. Some studies have shown that tight briefs in particular are actually harmful to the human body. Tight panties? Dangerous to health. How?

First, tight briefs disrupt the lymphatic system, which removes wastes and toxins from the entire body, and causes wastes and toxins not to be properly removed from the body. This is dangerous!
A potential con of wearing tight underwear, especially for women, is the increased likelihood of developing yeast infection or urinary tract infection. How does this come about? Just wear tight panties and you will discover that your v**ina does not breathe well. So, it is better to choose a size that follows your body’s contours perfectly, but not tight.
To ensure the health of the private parts, doctors typically recommend wearing breathable, somewhat loose undergarments that absorb moisture well.
Tight panties are less than ideal for sweat-inducing activities such as exercising or hiking. In addition to fostering an unpleasant odour, trapping sweat near your skin increases your risk of yeast infections and blistering along the pant seams.
When riding on a stationary bike or sitting on a weight bench, for example, it becomes difficult and risky when your panties glides off the surface designated for sitting. Even structures not intended for athletics, such as a plastic subway seat or a smooth park bench, become potential hazard against the friction-lacking texture of tight undergarments.

The other problem associated with women wearing tight panties is the irritating effect of the tight material against the skin. When a woman walks around all day wearing tight panties, the material rubs against the urethra and outer vaginal area creating areas of irritation and even small tears. These irritated areas can also be set-ups for infection. This can be a particular problem for women who are prone to vaginal or urinary tract infections.
According to [url= http://health.com]HEALTH[/url] vaginal and urinary tract infections are not the only problem associated with wearing the wrong size of pants, they can irritate hemorrhoids and even cause an*l lacerations. Even more risky is wearing it in hot weather. Sweating combined with the close contact of the material against the skin, creates the perfect environment for a vaginal yeast infection.

After removing your undergarments, do you observe red marks? If so, chances are, your undergarments are too tight for you, and really should be changed. Dump them out like last year’s new clothes, and find undergarments, which will hug you, and fit on properly instead of giving a tightening effect.
The less they are worn the better, but if you cannot wean them completely from your underwear drawer, at least wear them in moderation, bearing in mind that a urinary tract or yeast infection is not very sexy.

Health / Loose That Thigh Fat... by ify01: 2:43am On Jul 09, 2014
Like certain urban legends, the idea that you loose fat from a specific area of the body, such as your thighs, refuses to die. The body burns the most recent fat deposits first.


This means men tend to loose upper body fat before thigh and belly fat. Exercises helps tone and build your muscles, so that your legs look and feel stronger as you loose excess fat and improve your health and fitness. Cutting calories and engaging in moderate activity most days of the week will burn off your thigh fat.
1. Cut your calories to 1,800 to 2,100 calories a day to loose weight. This is the calorie intake the American Heart Association advises for men's weight loss. To cut calories and keep your appetite in check, avoid foods and drinks with empty calories such as chips, cookies, candy, pastry, and processed foods such as anything made with white flour, including pizza. Avoid fried food.
2. Limit alcohol to two drinks or less per day for men. Drinking less is better for your overall health, cuts empty calories helps you loose weight overall to achieve your goal of losing thigh fat.
3. Establish an exercise program that includes both resistance training and cardiovascular exercise. You may need to exercise more than 30 minutes each day, most days of the week to loose weight, the Weight-Control Information Network suggests.
4. Time your exercise sessions and keep in continuous motion for over 30 minutes for each session. It generally takes 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise to start burning fat. Once you burn off your most recent fat stores from your upper body, you'II start losing thigh fat.
5. Choose exercises that use your leg muscles to help tone your thighs and burn fat overall. Bicycling, walking, stair climbing, hiking and circuit training with weights provides efficient leg workouts to strengthen and firm up your thighs.
TIP/i> • See your doctor before beginning an exercise program if you're over 45 or out of shape. Pick a time of day to exercise and stick with it, the way you commit to keeping appointments. If you have to miss a workout, reschedule it. Stretch before you exercise to warm up your muscles and cut down the risk of injury.
• Consult with your doctor about medical concerns. Add more time to your exercise sessions gradually. If you're out of shape, it's better to start with short, low-intensity exercise than to risk overdoing it and dropping out. A short walk gives you a way to get moving. Add more time to your work as you become more fit.
