What can be done if 3 and 4 are the cause?

Hello, i lived (i still do) a sendentary lifestyle and eat lots of junk(carbohydrate) especially at night so i grew fat.
Anyway when i started watching my weight 4weeks ago, i lost over 3kg in less than 2 weeks with no exercise and staying in one place. In the 3rd week the scale wouldn't just reduce, i stopped frying my meals and some other things yet it didn't move till this monday.
What did i do?
I knew i just had to put in exercises because i eat healthy,so i downloaded some workout apps and follow their exercise routine , i have one for morning and night. Instead of using car for everywhere i go ( i hardly do) i trek till i am tired and then take taxi. I can walk home from where i go to ( i normally like walking), it is far but i like it, it frees my mind, but because of the really hot sun at that time of day i usually cut it short. Between monday and today i av lost over 1kg( almost 2kg).

In essence, start with ditching carbohydrates, fanta ,coke, drinks in general. Also ditch your car or public transport(whatever you use) and walk for a while(it saves money too). Get workout videos or like me, download amazing apps. If you are too lazy to start exercises focus on your meals. Some people do ketogenic diet too(i personally can't do it), there is a facebook group, i can give you the name.

I am still learning and i plan to be fit for a long time.

Of course women have more. Was she born with those boobs? This happened because her skin got stretched during puberty when she started growing those boobs! Stretchmarks has nothing to do with being fit. That is normal. But a potbelly means you are living an unhealthy lifestyle. We are all wondering why it's mostly the rich that kidney failures and those stuffs happen to, well when all the fat is stored in your belly you are just practically yearning for it
Yeah u r right. But why mostly black women mayb coz d stretch is yellow and d skin is black making it super obvious. Makes me Remember ma track.. BLACK AND YELOW BLACK AND YELLOW.. Just kidding sis.

Surprisingly,its so hard to see a fit naija girl. I mean a girl who works out to have firm body with no stretch marks , cellulites etc.

You girls should check yourselves out first and thank us for ever dating you.

In my 7 years of visiting the gym, I have not seen a fit naija girl . Abi fitness Na for men only. I'm surprised a naija girl will ever open a thread about fitness.

Yes u are kinda right sha, so why dont u guys continue to set an example for the ladies to folllow? I mean, if the man is fitness conscious, his partner will have no choice than to learn from him.

Why do young girls have so much stretch marks and cellulites?
I think this is mostly due to the kind of creams they use. Some use harsh cosmetics on themselves.

And women shouldn't exercise? You lazy girls need to do something about these horrible stretch marks aand cellulites that is common with naija babes.


Stretch mark and cellulites are not due to laziness. Pregnancy, hormones and certain cosmetics are the major cause of stretchmarks and cellulites.

Do you exercise? I mean running for more than 25 mins or some HIIT training. It's so difficult to see a naija babe working out.

[b]They come to the gym to pass time or to check out the guys. [/b]You girls need the gym more than the guys. Almost all the girls are out of shape or with oversized buttocks, loose laps and love handles. Abeg, make una see una mates for south Africa,kenya or even Ghana.

You lots want the best but you aren't even manageable.
[b]
I was in a pool recently and I noticed that all the girls with stretch marks and cellulites were Nigerians. [/b]Haba.

LoL, nothing wrong in checking out hot guys in the gym. I do that and thats how i met my current boo.

grin u are now taking this personal, all the gurls with stretchmarks were Nigerians? LoL dats a good joke.

The point is that u the guys should set the pace for the ladies to follow. It makes more sense if the guy is more into fitness and he inspires his partner for her to join him than the other way round. I tot u guys said men should lead and women follow?

The question clearly asks " why do most Nigerian MEN develop a pot belly"
Major key word : MEN!!!

While you seek for that answer I would advice that you stand naked in front of a standing mirror and tell me what you see.

Stop looking for a guy with six packs when you have big tummy.
Stop looking for a guy with chiseled chest when you b00b are already drooping
Unfortunately, sexiness is all about getting fat for you naija babes. Once you have too much flesh in the buttocks and thigh, you are sexy.....what a world.

Let's get something straight, I have been working out in the last 7 years and I am very fit but the same can't be said of 99% of girls.

As much as i wanna get back at u, i want to admit that this comment of yours is hillarious. grin
What if i tell u that i am engaged to a handsome six-packs and financially stable guy? Likes attract themselves. I am not a lazy gluttonic pot belly lady, so i couldn't have settled for less. So Bleep off my mentions and get your lazy pot belly ass to the gym.
you wish you have a rich guy.

Thank u for this thread Op.
For me, any guy with a protruding stomach that comes my way in the name of toasting me, i turn him down immediately, i dont want to know about his money or family name. I just get irritated at the sight of it seriously.

I do work out and I dont do it for any girl to notice me. I won't be comfortable being even a 1kg overweight. No matter how busy I get, I try to squeeze out time for skipping and weight exercises. Can the same be said of your girls....No.

There are lots of guys like me who take care of their bodies but you girls would rather admire us than join us to be really sexy. The irony of it all is that you girls need it more the guys. The black woman has the tendency to get fat and so should even work out more than their oyibo counterparts.

And yes......naija babes and stretch marks are like .....5 and 6

Shout out to all d big belly brothers. All d fly fat niggas. Na broke girls dey find six pack. Ur seniors in Abuja(d real classy girls) dnt care if those senators av a drum in der tummy. They just want to ball

Well, such gurls are nothin but gold diggers and hoes.They really don't love these men.
After they are done milking you they will move on ti the next and worst part of it, they will use your money to keep a side boyfriend, a superfit guy ith six packs to satisfy them regularly.

Na only naija babes get hormones etc. You girls will always find reasons to look horrible. So why is it hard for you to believe that men should have pot bellies?

Yes, many Nigerian women develop a pot belly stomach too as soon as they start getting pregnant and giving birth. A good reason for that.

Bad life style. In out society, once many men get married, they have a reason to become lazy and indolent, on top of that many drinks with reckless abandon. If you don't exercise your body in way of work and exercise, you body is likely going to gradually give way. One thing about our society is that we believe a married man ought not to do anything at all in the house. His wife cooks his food, washes his clothes, probably arranges for someone to even gets his shoes polished and apart from his office work which is mostly sedentary, all the man does is eat, drink, sleep and sex and we are surprised he gets pot belly. Small daily chores around the house couple with little forms of exercise keep the body trim.
