how can a male to female transgender lose weight especially get a flat tummy?
i have been trying very hard to lose weight my body has always been naturally feminine but just lot of fat everywhere its not like i am obese but i am the plumpy type i need to become skinny and men are supposed to have high metabolisms but its the opposite for me i have a verry low metabolism and gain weight easily which may or may not be good for a transgender anyway i really need to get a flat tummy please suggest how?
Wow! I have (maybe had?) the exact problem as you. I am male-to-female as well, and I have always had to struggle with a plumper, and naturally curvy body. I used to have really bad self-esteem until I realized that I could change my body and my health if I worked at it. Last October I weighed about 245! It was the heaviest I’ve ever been im my life and I was very unhappy (and worried for my health). So, I began dieting really strictly and exercising for about 30 min a day. It took a lot of effort and willpower but now I weigh about 173 (72 pounds off!!). Most people who want to lose weight don’t want to hear it (but subconciously know it), but the only reliable way to lose weight is to diet and excercise. As far as dieting goes, there is a whole lot of confusing and bizarre diets out there. I tried different ones, but the one that worked the best for me is the one I made myself. Now, your mileage may vary, but my diet plan is based around eating mostly fruit with some dairy, lean meats and vegetables, and occasional bread and carbs. A big thing is to cut out drinking pop and start replacing it with water (which is really difficult for some) and try not eat any junk food or highly processed food. What I usually do is eat a banana for breakfast, an apple or two for lunch, and a normal meal (still healthy) for dinner. I know this sounds very restrictive (and it is) but you’ll get used to it, and it does give results. Trust me, I know I still have some pounds to lose, but you’re hard work and dedication pays off in the end. Not to mention you get to feel proud of yourself and buy a new wardrobe!
Btw: It’s okay and normal to have some body fat. It helps give you curves which are feminine and attractive (my bf told me lol). Women usually have more fat than men anyways, so try not to stress out about getting rid off every inch.You just have to trim off the excess not get rid of it all.
