Answers:
Anna, at 5'6" 148 pounds isn't really overweight especially if you are active in sports. It's probably muscle. If you wear a size 7-9 in jeans your not overweight for your height. Stop worrying about it. That's not overweight.Health Question & Answer

The basics say that you will need a combination of a good diet and regular exercise if you want to flatten your tummy.

Well i wouldnt consider that too overweight. But here's what you should do to lose excess body weight.

1.Figure out your daily maintenance level or your Basic Metabolic Rate- you can do this easily online.

2. Aim for 500-750 (not more) calorie deficit each day through a combination of exercise & nutrition

3. Eat your breakfast. Beakfast eaters lose more weight than those who do not.

4. Eat 4 -5 meals spaced out at intervals of 3-4 hours each day. This keeps your metabolism up and running all day.

5. Once every week, do a high calorie or a high carb day.Take a break from the diet. It will actually do you more good than harm

6. Do Compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows, snatches, bench presses. Don't be afraid to lift weights. Weight training is a must.Only cardio will not be as effective.

Stay committed and you will melt that fat away.

Cheers!

If you are really serious, following are my suggestions:

Take only natural food.
Take fresh vegetables and fruits.
Take honey, milk, curd, butter.
Reduce rice intake and instead take wheat preparations.
Tender corn you can take of course after boiling.
Do not take fatty food (non-veg.), fried food.
Breathe fresh air in a garden or open space. Or else if you are walking in garden or open space for about half an hour, that is equally good. Take regulated food. I mean three times a day.
Fill half the stomach with solid, quarter stomach with liquid and leave quarter stomach empty. By this method digestion will improve. You will get good appetite.
Do some physical exercise or join Yoga classes, if you find one nearby.
Rising up early in the morning will help in reducing your weight. Obesity comes to only those who sleep in the morning hours.Health Question & Answer

for a workable diet
here is what my dietician suggests . follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent carb.remember potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category, 25 per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.have a protein shake if you like too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like.
get a pedometer and try to take 10,000 steps everyday. Health Question & Answer

No, but I have found that organic products are way more filling, no matter the food. You might want to try them. Even though they cost a little more up front, they are probably cheaper in the end because they really fill you up more, and you feel better.Health Question & Answer
