lifestyle1: How can u say that when women get pregnant, give birth and nurse children? This will naturally affect their body shapes, but nevertheless it is not an excuse for them to regain their shape later on, but at least they have a genuine reason for the distortion of their natural shape. What reason do men have other than excessive drinking, laziness to hit the gym and improper dieting? 4 Likes |

I once read a report that itvis a physiological adaptation for men to accumulate fat in their stomach region unlike women who accumulate in theirs in their thigh, arm etc. Since women naturally conceive; nature has found a way of preventing the accumulation of fat in the stomach region(except of course the flaccidity of the abdominal muscles as a result of pregnancy when eventually delivered). It was even alleged that ladies who undergo hysterectomy will have pot-belly like their male counterpart.

Too much garri, too much beer, zero exercize. Nigerians who dont have a car are less likely to have pot belly, bc they have to do a lot of walking, which is a form of exercize. When I was a British student, i had no car, and moved about with my bicycle. The i moved to the US, a nice car, parked in my garage, drives me straight to my workplace garage . Zero exercize. Body come change. I had to hit the gymn, it wasnt pretty 2 Likes |

Billyonaire: You can use your remaining money for charity focused on education and health, for instance. That is what oyinbo billionaires like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerbaerg etc are doing so their race stays above us, not so There can be so much satisfaction from that beyond looking rotund like an overfed man whose women are rotating between the kitchen, living room and the other room.

It is totally wrong for OP to wanna shove her ideology down everybody's throat. Variety is the spice of life. Tho I have my early morning routine...i like to set a target. 30 slow push up X 5 set 60 calv push up X 5 set 30 bench stroke X 5 set 30 sit up X 5 set Note: I'm not wanting to be all ripped but fit. real result are achieved when you push harder the moment your body tells you to stop, cos your practically tearing up some muscles which your body later repairs. I always try to hit my target but most times I don't make all but it's all good. Oh!.. My only beer is Guinness extra stout, I don't care what you're drinking if you're my host. |

This is a great topic. But all I see here is blame game. Food, lifestyle, sweet drinks/alcohol and genetics play a role. Occupations have changed drastically since the last 50 years. But food has remained highly calorific. Around 1966, a large number of Nigerian men were still farmers: cocoa, rubber, palm tree, yam, millet, rice. Others were hunters, palm wine tappers, etc. These jobs burnt much energy. In fact most had a negative energy balance, expending more than they took in. Food has largely remained same: eba, pounded yam, rice & yam, all are white carbohydrate and unhealthy for sedentary lifestyles. Even the city dwellers then did not eat too much sweet unhealthy food like snacks, burgers, sharwama, etc. What women have forgotten is that women, depending partly on genetics, have the natural option of storing fats in their butt & thighs, in addition to their trunk. Thigh & butt fat might even make them look more attractive to some men. Whereas men have only one option: truncal fat deposit, that people criticize a lot. There needs to be more awareness about the risks of belly fat and encouragement to reduce it given by health officials. Personal responsibility is needed most though. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ianSweet: There is no good reason for a man or woman to have pot belly. It is a sign of not giving a phuck about your appearance or looks when you let yourself go physically. It is just too easy to look Good and stay healthy. All it takes is eating right and using 30 minutes of your time to exercise daily. Check out my profile. You will see a beautiful woman staring at you. My wife. She was 40 years old this year when that picture was taken and she's given birth to 3 kids. She puts in quality time everyday to ensure she keeps me interested and herself healthy. If you don't take care of something, that thing will leave you. 2 Likes |
