10 tweets about the obesity of the abdomen also known as potbelly or a belly fat

#ManDay
1. The abdomen is the first place to accumulate fats when people get fat.

It will also be the last to get lean when you begin losing weight.
2. Belly fat is a result of a fatty liver pouring excess fats into the abdomen.

Any person with a pot belly has a fatty liver.
3. A belly fat begins behaving like an organ.

It secretes hormones like GHRELIN that make you hungry all the time.

It also promotes the active breakdown of testosterone to estrogen in a process called aromatization.

This is why a man with a potbelly behaves like a woman.
4. You cannot target belly fat. You must first lose the entire body fat and get to a body fat percentage of below 15%.

The lower abdomen has stubborn fats because it has more alpha receptors that cling to fats and refuse to release these fats easily.
5. Sit-ups, crunches, bicycle kicks and other "abs exercises" cannot cut a potbelly.

Most of the time these execises target hip extensor muscles.

You will also hurt your lower back.
6. Layers of fat around your abdomen loosen your core muscles and weaken your perineal muscles.

This means poor sex stamina and loose anal sphincter, especially in women, that's why fat women fart a lot during sex.
7. It will take you up to 3 years to lose the pot belly.

Ignore the snake oil merchants who promise you quick solutions.

Just walking 10,000 steps a day will give you better results than the useless slimming pills they sell.
8. Drinking hot water, lemon, ginger, slimming pills or slimming belts will not help you.

You must put in the work.

It took you at least 4 years to grow a potbelly, what makes you think you will lose it in 4 months?
9. Jumping aerobics in the gym or running daily may sound good to you but will not help much.

You will inflame your joints, lose focus and go back home with your big stomach.

Focus on healthy dietary habits.

If your nutrition system is faulty, your results will be faulty.
10. Meat does not cause a pot belly.

Sugar, wheat, maize flour, alcohol, fruit juices and energy drinks will cause a pot belly.

Seed oils will inflame your liver and worsen the abdominal fats.
Bonus:

To lose a pot belly

- Eliminate sugar & carbs

- OMAD at 5-7 pm

- Eat proteins

- Compound lifting 3x a week

- Consistency for 3 years

Here are 10 Reasons why you are relapsing and struggling to quit MASTURBATION

Thread 🧵

#BetterTogether
1. You have not changed your environment.

Your mind is the product of your environment. Don't be stuck in an environment that triggers cravings.

Get into a new environment, and meet new peers. Take charge of your space.

Be the architect of your environment, not the victim.
2. You don't have a HABIT TRACKER

A habit tracker ensures you account for the successes and failures in your healing journey.

Eg "If I masturbate, I must send 10 dollars to Amerix, every relapse is 10 dollars or I will switch off my phone for 24 hours."

Here are 15 lessons I have learnt as a civil servant working for Government.

Thread 🧵
1. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work.

Don't be loyal to your boss.

Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss will finally dump you.
2. Go home. Don't stick at work beyond office hours.

You are not the pillar of your department.

If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue.

Rais Mtukufu Daniel Arap Moi,

Leo amejiunga na waumini na wanafunzi wa Moi High School Kabarak katika kanisa la AIC Kabarak

Ibaada imeongozwa na Kasisi Jones Kalili.

Waliondaman na Rais ni meya Philemon Chelagat wa manispaa ya Baringo na wengineo.

Religion & State.
The state is a product of religion and religion is the product of the state.

A state that espouses religion is powerful.

It is corruption-free because God will punish thieves.

Its economy will flourish because God will bless the economy through prayers and prophesies.
Moi's regime was the best.

He loved God.

He was always in church with his Holy Bible.

It's non-believers & devil worshippers sent by satan who started fighting him and this led to a shaky economy.

They have now started mocking our God-chosen stoic president.

Refrain.
