CFCfan: Interesting piece. OP, thanks for sharing.

From now on I'll reduce my portions of garri and soup

Yes boss!

Calories in Eba/Garri
To calculate how many calories there are in your Eba or your raw Garri that you drink, here is the calorie content of a cup of Raw Garri. Garri has 360 calories of which 99% is carbohydrate

Pounded Yam (Iyan)

Iyan (Pounded Yam) is one of our highest calorie high carbohydrate foods. Imagine you are dividing the amount of pounded yam eaten into cups (milk tins), then one cup of pounded yam is about 400 calories. I doubt if anyone eats that small a serving, so if for instance you eat 2 milk
tin-sized balls of pounded yam, you are already at 800 calories. By the time you tot up the value of your soup, you are looking at a very high calorie meal indeed.

Indomie Noodles
Depending on the size; super pack is 640 calories and the average nigerian would double this

Tuwo (White Cornmeal)
One cup of white cornmeal (tuwo) is roughly 450 calories

Rice
A cup of raw white rice is 693 calories you can further increase that with the way you cook it

Beans
In Nigeria, Beans is one of our favourite meals. It is loved by weight loss experts because of itshigh protein content. A cup of beans is somewhere around 378 calories

Based on a 2,000 calorie diet:
Normal cholesterol intake per day is 300mg - if you have high cholesterol or high LDL -
cholesterol intake per day is to be 200mg or less.
How much is a serving? A serving is about the palm size of your hand. Shocking but true.
Basic Nigerian Dishes
The basic Egusi Soup enriched with few chunks of stockfish and two pieces of meat contains a total of roughly 700 calories per serving!!! Imagine eating it with about 3 wraps of pounded yam which is about 600 calories...
The largest food group it contains is Fat. Egusi is very high in fat content. It has about 60% fat. And imagine the more calories for those who love adding lots of palm oil to our egusi soup. It also
has about 11 percent carbohydrates.Proteins make up 30 percent while other elements make up the rest. Cholesterol - 306mg.

Okra Soup

Okra soup with about one or two pieces of fish and a minimal amount of palm oil would be very good. Okra soup alone contains about 105 calories only per serving. Here is a summary of what it contains:
Okra has about 2.8g of Fibre per serving, 3g of Fat, 4g of Carbohydrates and 11g of Protein. So for those trying to lose weight, why not try okra soup ALONE any time you are tempted to eat your
Pounded Yam or Eba.

Ewedu Soup
Ewedu is one of the good soups for weight loss. If you are looking for a low calorie meal, you can count on Ewedu, especially considering the fact that her brother Gbegiri is also low in calories. A serving of Ewedu alone without meat contains only 97 calories!
Let's break down each of the food groups:
Fat content of 4g out of which 10% is cholesterol.
The Carbohydrate content is 300mg (0.3g) and Protein is 18g. Ewedu comes first to mind. Ewedu leaves are also called Jew's mallow and have been used
for many medicinal purposes.

Snails

The calories in snail aren't always too accurate,because different snails come in different sizes.
This, however, is an estimate of the average snail which weighs about 100 grams. 1 snail contains
90 calories. Of this, 1g is fat, 16g is protein and Carbs comes to 2g. So while it is a healthy food; relatively low in Carbs and Fat, remember it's high in calories.

Fried Plantain

1 Slice of Fried plantain contains 68 calories

Wheat Flour

1 cup of wheat flour contains 455 calories and.the nutritional values are as follows.
Carbohydrates 96g, Protein 12.9g and Fat 1.2g.

Boiled or Roast Corn

A large corn cob between 7 to 9 inches in length contains 123 calories of which 80 percent is Carbohydrate. In a medium sized cob of corn, between 6 and 7 inches in length, you can expect about 88 calories and 80 percent Carbs. In a small corn cob, about 5.5 to 6 inches in length, there are about 63 calories.

Ugosample: Thank you very much. I also have a little issue with my physique. I've got broad chests, but my belly is kinda big(not too big anyway) i've tried sit ups but i felt some pain in my underbelly and close to my groin. Is this pain normal? What other exercise can i do to reduce my belly fat? Or dietary changes? Thanks.

To reduce fat anywhere you need to burn it through cardio(running, jogging etc) diet or both. sit ups alone won't give you a flat belly. I dont know what your current diet is like but I will advise you watch out for too much sugar, stress, simple carbs, and unhealthy fats the pain from doing sit ups is perferctly normal it would reduce as your fitness level inceases

yusufogrin: i dnt understand dat resistance training.more light plz

Resistance training induces muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. E.g pushups, bicep curl, lunges etc
Simply put they work muscle groups

Ugosample: This thread is very informative. But i'm not close to any gym at the moment, so my question: Is push ups as effective as bar bells? And secondly, i've got to a point where further expansion is not forthcoming (so i think) which protein supplement is steroids free? And is it advisable to use them?

v
the reason I will choose barbells over regular pushups is the ability of changing weights, whereas in pushups you are stuck with your bodyweight. if further expansion aint forthcoming change or spice up your routine a bit, it could be your body is getting accustomed to your current work out and lastly there are many steroid free supplements (either check with your local pharmacy or purchase online)

1.Sleep

If you want to work late at night, think again.
When your biorhythms are off, you end up eating more. When you’re tired you produce more ghrelin, which triggers cravings for sugar and other fat-building foods. Losing sleep can also alter your hormone production, affecting your
cortisol levels that cause insulin sensitivity,
prime reasons for belly fat! Getting about 7 hours of sleep a night is one of the best things you can do for your body shaping goals.

2. Short bursts of exercises

1000 crunches a night may get you strong
abdominal muscles, but with a full layer of fat on top, you will not get the results you really want. Instead of all those crunches, do exercises that engage multiple muscle groups and work your cardiovascular system. Try planking, where you
hold yourself in a push-up position, resting your forearms on the ground. Try 3 or 4 sets of holding for 30 seconds each. Getting up and moving throughout the day by going for walkswill also help.

3. Sugar is your Enemy

Fighting belly fat is 80% healthy diet. Reduce
calories by filling yourself up with protein,
vegetables, whole grains, and replacing bad habit snacks with good ones. For example, if you have
a sugar craving, replace your calorie laden burger with a skimmed Milk one of my favorites, because it has zero sugar and a ton of protein that will satiate while also torching my sugar craving!

4. Vitamin C

When you’re under extreme stress, you secret more cortisol hormone. Vitamin C helps balance the cortisol spikes that happen to you under this stress. Besides being a good way to counteract a
cold, Vitamin C is also essential for making
carnitine, a compound used by the body to turn fat into fuel, making this vitamin your fat burning friend.
If you’re going through an emotional crisis, stress from work, or a bad eating splurge, increase your vitamin C – it’ll help counteract the negative side
effects. Try red peppers, kiwi fruits and citrus fruits. These have a lot of Vitamin C

5. Eat Fat

Yup, you heard me! It takes fat to burn fat. Like I said above, it’s sugar that gets you fat, not fat. Good fats include foods rich in Omega 3′s, like fish, avocados & nuts. These foods are full of nutrients that help keep you satiated throughout the day.

6. Slowing down your breath

This is a very simple method that you can use even when you’re in the midst of doing
something else. Whenever you notice you’re
feeling tense and uptight check and see how
you’re breathing. Most people under stress either alternate holding their breath with short breaths, or take rapid shallow breaths. After you become aware of your own breathing, consciously relax
your belly and slow down the breathing. This works best if you focus on slowing down the exhalation rather than your inhalation. With each exhalation you can say to yourself “slow down”. That is all there is to it- Simple but surprisingly effec

druid06: Hey guys,

How do I loose belly fat also known as pot belly?

BoboYekini: On the issue of diet, i'm sure we've all seen bricklayers who are ripped as fucck. Who subsist on a diet of garri and beans. I'm thinking its down to the sheer duration of their workouts(bricklaying takes hours). And they also negate the 'small meal portions every 3 hours' thing. These guys eat enormous helpings but thrice a day.

nothing works for everyone I think its to find what suits you p.s I have seen brick layers with flabby tummies

It has help m achieve quite a no of things... I want to achieve a reasonable flat stomach, reduce or convert all dis fat to muscles and also want to b strong cos av noticed dat even been built dos no automatically make m strong.. Can i get any help..

Fat cannot be converted to muscles, so what you need do is burn the fat through cardio and dieting, and also being big doesnt guarantee strenght because it could be fat, water weight, glycogen etc so try and make sure what is making you big is mainly muscles

Corona99: Buh must u use supplement in oda 2 achieve a desired result,,,?? N diaz no nearby gym centre around hia,,, haw do i go abt it plz,,M reali in2 weight liftin cos of Ma body stature,,u knw tall n kinda huge,,,wid an atheletic body,,,

You must not use supplement, the main reason people use supplement is because its difficult to get the daily nutrient requirements, if there is no gym around try body weight exercises

kanye offended quite a number of people when he brought a Jesus lookalike on stage during the first stop of his Yeezy tour in Seattle onSaturday.
Kanye now explains the method to his madness...
Kanye tells Wild 94.9 in San Fransico
"I had a friend of mine that is a pastor
and we were discussing how we were
going to deliver it. My girl even asked
afterwards “isn’t that weird if Jesus
comes on stage or something like that?”
No we do plays all the time where people
play Jesus. What’s awesome about
Christianity is that we are allowed to
portray God. We'e allowed to draw an
image of Him. We’re allowed to make
movies about Him. Other religions you
can’t do that. Michelangelo did it…It’s a
painting, it’s a sculpture, it’s a moving
opera, it's a play, it’s a message. I’m not
even going to do any comparisons with
that. God knows where my heart is at.
