Top 3 Body Feminization Weight Loss Tips
ByAccording to last month’s poll, 60% of the lovely ladies reading this blog want to lose weight in 2010. Here are two good reasons to drop the fat:
- Males and females gain weight in the opposite areas. The more masculine fat you have, the harder it is to create a feminine shape.
- You want to look HOT, right? The closer you are to your ideal body weight, the better you’ll look as a woman.
Here are 3 tricks that helped me shed the fat I gained over Christmas (and afterwards, I want you to tell me YOUR best weight loss tips!):
1. Drink tea
Tea is an awesome ingredient for weight loss! Studies show that tea reduces your appetite and speeds up fat burning. Coffee, on the other hand, makes you fat. Coffee increases the stress hormone cortisol, which causes cravings and increases belly fat.
You have to drink black tea, green tea, or white tea to get the fat-burning effect. (Herbal teas won’t cut it.) The more tea the better, so drink at least 4 cups per day if you are trying to lose weight.
2. Cut the secret sugars
Sugar is one of the worst foods to eat if you want to lose weight. Sugar raises your blood sugar level, which increases insulin. Insulin promotes weight gain and fat storage, so it’s a short road to Fatsville from there.
Did you know that most of the sugar you eat does NOT come from candy bars and cookies? Processed foods are loaded with sugars that secretly make you fat! Here are some of the top sources of secret sugars:
- Ketchup
- Salad dressing
- Peanut butter
- Spaghetti sauce
- Hamburger and hot dog buns
- Microwave meals
- Fast food
Avoid fast food and check labels for secret sugar names like “high fructose corn syrup,” “corn sweetener,” “malt syrup,” “maltrose,” “fructose,” and “sucrose.” You can find healthy versions of ketchup, salad dressing, spaghetti sauce, etc. in health food stores.
3. Eat more greens
If you want to get rid of your belly blubber, you need to eat more vegetables – especially green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and romaine lettuce. They are packed with vitamins and minerals. If your body is nutritionally deficient, it will constant crave food to try to get the nutrients it needs. Green veggies also contain fiber, which fills you up and reduces your appetite.
If you don’t like the taste of vegetables, try making a green smoothie! Just throw some spinach or lettuce into the blender when you are making a fruit smoothie. You’ll hardly taste the greens, but they’re in there helping you melt the fat away!
Ok, now it’s your turn!! Tell me …

I can stay away from Fried foods all week and replace with soups and salads goes along way.
getting rid of the fat around my belly is hard. I will loose the side fats by eating this way however until I start sweating (workouts) for 30-45 minutes 2-3 times a week doesnt work.
It is nice to here from you Lucille,

I am 5′ 9″ at 155 lbs. I’ve weighed this since high school . As soon as my jeans start fitting tight ( 30″ waist ) I’ll weigh myself and will find my weight around 159-160 . To drop weight I just cut back on the amount of food for lunch , drink beer only 2 nights a week ,and start the day ” busy ” . Busy meaning have a plan for the day and get going . If I start my day active , I’ll stay active till dinner time and burn calories. If I don’t do anything until 11:00 am , my day is wasted , I’ll do nothing the rest of the day. If you keep within 5-10 lbs of ideal weight it’s pretty easy to lose it. I’m 56 and keeping with this approach has kept me slender. Some people tell me it’s all genetic that I’m slender , I have 4 brothers that are all at least 50 lbs overweight,one is my height and 235. Genetic ? It’s all in the mind , get that metabolism going early .
The downside to me with being slender is I have no body fat to help out in the bust dept. I’m only 36A .
Check out the web site I have lost 65 lbs and lost 18 inches of my frame. I have been on the program a year and kept it off.
Dear Louise,
Weight control is a specialty of mine both personally and teaching patients.
Just watching what we eat is not enough! How we burn calories and how we exercise is also important.
If genetic males do exercises such as push-ups and lifting weights upper body strength will increase along with muscle mass size and this does not make for a very feminine look. Exercising the legs and hips, IE: running, jogging, or other isokinetic exercises like cycling will burn the calories and strengthen the legs. Having lovely strong legs is very feminine.
Hope this helps everyone.

My hunny and I got ourselves a Wii for Christmas, with the Fit Plus Balance Board accessory. It makes exercise FUN, and it’s easy to focus on the areas that need work. I have to agree with Jacalyn, watching what we eat is important, but to really win the weight loss battle, (war), requires WORK, i. e. exercise.
Hi Lucille,
Believe it or not, your 1-2-3 plan is what I have been doing for years now….it works. I drink lots of geen tea, keep sugars low, and plenty of fruits and veggies.
I also do light stretching and toning workouts. This helps to keep me loose and limber, and feels great when enfemme so I can move more fluidly as a woman. STIFF is not good.
I also do some light jogging and/or a jog and walk combo.
All of this keeps me at about 150 lbs. plus/minus 2 lbs., and my height is just under 5′8″..life is good.
I know it’s working because of the comments I receive from people about my physique, body language and voice.
Happy dressing.
Awesome! Glad it’s working for you. You are soooooo right about needing to stay loose and limber. Stiff movements are very masculine looking.
Hugs,
Lucille
I am 5′11″ and dwindled from 200 lbs. to 149 by doing the only thing that has been effective in helping me lose weight quickly–running. I know there are other programs that are beneficial, but running is best for rapid attenuation, in my opinion. Also, eating more raw vegetables has spured on further weight reduction. Rather than large portions of starchy foods, such as pasta or rice, I eat salubrious delicacies like spinach, carrots, and brightly colored bell peppers. However, switching to the crunchier and less popular choice was not easy, as I really savor pasta, potatoes, and rice. But after a while, I began to truly enjoy my repasts, especially breakfast, which is a tasty conglomeration that mainly consist of fresh fruit. My favorite fruit combo happens to be a delightful medley of bananas, strawberries, blueberries, rasberries, and apples. I also add plain unsweetened yogurt to my delectable mound with a sprinkling of raisins, almonds, and grapnuts cereal. Simply ambrosial!
Yum yum! Great suggestions, Celeste!
At 60 it is not easy to keep as trim as I want to be. I watch my diet and exercise every morning. I try to do things that keep my stomach mostly flat and trim. I’m not looking for 6 pack abs. My greatest problem are those pads on each side of my waist but I have them down enough now to let my widening hips to express themselves a little more. I also try to walk 3 miles a day. I’m tall with long legs so if I can keep it up I will soon feel confident with my image as a woman.
Eat less! That is, eat a normal healthy portion of foods. You can be eating the most healthiest things, but eating too much of it will still cause weight gain. I have lost 20 kg (44 lbs) in under a year just by eating smaller portion sizes. And I still get to eat my ice cream and cake too!
For most of my life weight loss has never been an issue for me. In fact, almost the opposite, I was under weight for what was healthy. Now that I’m older, 54 years now, the weight has crept on easier, especially when I’m stressed, or during the winter when I have less exercise. I really hate it when my favorite skirt does not fit.
Thank you for the diet tips. Mom always said eating vegetables was good for me, and this just proves it.
