METHODS TO GET SMALLER WAIST - FOR MEN ABOVE 50.

As you age the area in your body that first starts accumulating fat and gets bigger is your waist. But due to very unhealthy eating habits & lack of exercise, even men in their 30's & 40's are getting bigger waist. 

In this blog will try to go in about the methods of how to get smaller waist . I will cover five methods of how to get a smaller waist. A smaller waist  will make your back look bigger just giving that 'V' shape.

The first method is carb-cycling. There are different ways to do this, but for good results you need to focus on one thing , on the days where you are not exercising or when you are doing light exercises, you want to eat a low amount of carbs. But, understand this , carb-cycling does not mean a low-carb diet. Those are totally different things. Carb-cycling is a great way to eat at a caloric deficit, if you are already cutting out some calories throughout the week.

The second method is you need to have more fibre in your diet. Most of you eat only about half of the daily amount that you are supposed to have, you are supposed to have about 30-40 grams of fibre in a day. Eating more fibre has multiple benefits, it reduces your cholesterol & blood sugar levels , it is good for your regular bowels, eating fibre also makes you feel more full , thus helping you to reduce your hunger craving and in turn will help you towards a small waist. 

The third method is all about the way you do your cardio. Instead of going for long steady-state cardio, you should the short duration high intensity cardio , this cardio increases your testosterone levels & it is much more time efficient. This short duration high intensity cardio will involve only 15-20 minutes. This cardio also creates the EPOC effect ( Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption ) or the after burn effect , it raises your metabolism long after you are done with your exercising, thus helping you burn more calories, which in turn will help with getting a smaller waist .

The fourth method is intermittent fasting . There are few different types of intermittent fasting, but the one I would suggest & try is the 24 hour fast to get a smaller waist . In this you need to go 24 hours without consuming any calories. It is very important to drink lots of water while you are fasting, to have 4-5 litres of water a day is very beneficial and will help speed up the process. I would suggest once a week , but for faster results may try for twice a week , but never do two days in a row. Also, when doing this fast, do not do on your workout days.

The fifth method is about proportion illusion. If you want to get a smaller looking waist then you need to focus on building your shoulders & your back , along with doing regular workout for your Tummy. You can refer to my below mentioned previous 3 blogs :
