From what I learned, basically it involved understanding your body and making few changes in your lifestyle accordingly. Also, I lost 14 kgs in 5 months, by working out properly IN AC so that I don't sweat much as I absolutely hate sweating. And no matter how many people told me to do otherwise...it didn't matter... :) ..Sweating can only lead to water and salt loss, may be that can make you see that you lost grams after working ..err..sweating it out...

You flaunted that beach body, shorts and mini-skirts in summers. As come the winters, you are covered with thick clothes, overcoat, leggings and you hardly get any time or occasion to see what hidden fats are getting added up on your tummy, biceps or thighs.

Also, since just a small piece of coconut requires a lot of munching, it does tire me enough to no...

(Guest Post)  Guide to Keeping your Body Beautiful  Many of us struggle to do all of the things we should to keep our bodies beautiful. In fact, some of us struggle to keep them healthy and working let alone allot time, effort and money to the more aesthetic aspects of them. We all know the mantra; diet, exercise, moisturise, drink plenty of water, but, how many of us are actually able to do all of these things consistently?
