10 Secrets of the Effortlessly Thin

More on MSN Health & Fitness
I am a guy who likes certain types of foods. I 've always stayed away from Mayo, and won't eat any type of salad dressings, but love salad.
I always use portion control, and at 43 I am still 6'0 165lbs. If I have a big lunch, I won't eat dinner. It's really not that difficult. I don't excercise as much as i used to but i still walk and ride my bike. The secret to making a dent when you do excercise is you MUST sweat or it is not going to help you.
- I keep a watch on my abs - A little bit of abs exercises and a protein rich, nutritious, yet tasty food (What is that? Wheat preparation, millet meals, no meat, no - seriously no-)
- Walk, walk and walk in one stretch, for about 4 Kms. I don't take more than 40 mins to complete this. Some time even less. (no breaks in between, no loss of tempo, no loss of heat, nothing of that sort)
- Drink a liter of water more than what the nutritionists recommend. May be naive, but that's my way and my body which it assimilates. May be 2 liters suffices all the metabolic needs but this extra liter keeps you away from food for an extra length of time. (See, you have dieted without knowing you did). When I feel hungry, just head to a cucumber and eat the whole of it, even if it's meal time. Cucumber is more water and nothing else, not even cellulose nor starch (again you have dieted without knowing it). Secret is, eat but don't give the body anything to manufacture out of it. (Mind you, you should be feeding your brains continuously whether you eat or starve. So give it proteins and a little bit of sugar. Will juice do? of course it does for non diabetics)

The truth about abs program
Abs Exercises
You are exercising 30min a day by playing tennis. That is great way to go about it. But here is something you should not and must not do: skipping meals. As you do this, your digestive system will not work properly. In other words, you have trade the bad for the worst. You've said that if you have a bite, you get hungry and if you don't, you don't get hungry. The reason is that your body needs to replace what you have burned. By the way, do not eat food for comfort because it will make you crave even more. It tastes too good to skip. Right? Ask yourself one question: Is this a need or a want? It is your body and you form your body by how you eat and how active your body is. At the end, You are what you eat!!! Do not forget to drink a lot of water!!!!! keep playing tennis!!! (with intensity). Play with intensity gives you competitive edge and another purpose for playing not just to exercise but to make enjoyable physical activity.
Very great article. Thanks.
The problem is that most people in my Country are making high-fat foods and I can't get rid of all of them.
I started to not to eat dinner and using fiber for lunch. Unfortunately, most of the times, I can't eat breakfast which is important. Is there any alternative way that I can omit breakfast?
