Do You Feel Fat? Here Are Tips on How to Dress to Hide Your Body Flaws


Sometimes you don’t have time to work out and you feel fat. You end up with body parts you don’t like that prevent you from dressing with confidence. You don’t have to pass up on opportunities to look stylish because of your body flaws. Here are dressing tips to help you camouflage parts of your body you are uncomfortable with as you pursue fitness.

Big hips and a big behind


For this, you need high waist clothes in dark colors. This will help to visually minimize the size of these regions so you don’t look excessively fat. Put on bright colored tops to keep the attention away from your bottom region. This means you should also invest in beautiful accessories that will help keep the observer’s eye away from the bottom region.

It’s good if your pants or skirts fit well on the hip and waist but flair out at the bottom. Choose a soft material for these bottom pieces that glide over your body and don’t look tight or restrictive. Do not do straight leg pants and tight fitting skirts or dresses unless you want to draw attention to your behind and hips. High heels and pointed toe shoes will help lengthen your legs as flats may cause you to look squat.

Narrow hips


For some, fitness is not a problem. If you have no hips and you envy the curvy women, don’t despair. You can get the illusion of shapely hips by how you dress. Go for fitting clothes at the top with a bottom section that has some flair to it. Get skirts that are long and loose fitting that will make you look a bit bulky at the bottom. With dresses get those that have a bit of volume at the bottom with tiers, ruffles, pleats or round skirts.

Ensure that the top region of your outfit is fitted, especially at the waist. Empire waist dresses are also a good choice and so are high waist dresses. Flared pants are advisable or loose fitting pants at the waist that will make your hips look a bit wider and flow to the ground couple this with a fitted top to finish up the look. Do not wear straight legged pants or skinny jeans unless you want to emphasize your narrow hips and slim legs.

Men this is how to hide a big butt


Some men are uncomfortable with their big behinds. Some are not fat, they are just well muscled in these regions. If you want to hide your bum, start by wearing the right undergarments. Use biker shorts or boxer briefs to pull your butt up and support your upper thighs. Consider wearing wide fitting jeans that have a boot cut so that they don’t emphasize your behind and flow to the bottom to ensure they are not uncomfortably tight. Keep away from pleated trousers fronts and go for flat front pants.

Tips for men on how to hide a pot belly


Others have set fitness to the side and have trophies to prove it in the form of pot bellies. To hide this fat, such men should wear top garments made of light fabric that are made out of dark colors. Make sure that your tops are loose fitting or just the right fit but not clinging tightly to your skin. Wear long sleeved shirts as they give your look a good proportion keeping attention away from your tummy as short sleeves will bring the attention to the midriff area. Pinstripe shirts are a good choice because they are slimming. Get shirts with small prints that are set wide apart as they slim your silhouette down. Get vests as undergarments to help hold in the bulky stomach but STAY AWAY FROM TSHIRTS!


These are tips on how to hide body imperfections for men and women.

Remember, if you are confident and are not thinking that you are fat, you are more fun in bed. It’s a win – win situation for both of you.

Exercises to do to improve your sex life


Get your kegels on!



Kegels are your friend when it comes to strengthening your pelvic muscles. This is the muscle that contracts during orgasm. Strengthening pelvic muscles has been known to provide better orgasms in women. In men, it helps them to have more control so they have longer lasting erections and can control their orgasms better. An added bonus is that these pelvic fitness exercises are simple and can be done anywhere so you can’t say you have no time or gym membership as an excuse.

You identify your Kegel muscle by stopping and releasing your urine flow when you go to the toilet. Once you identify it, you will be expected to tighten and release it for a minimum of five counts each day. You should not do this as you go to the toilet but as you go around your daily business. Do it standing, lying down, kneeling, sitting and in any other position you like. With time, increase your count. You can do as many as you like.

Do these exercises consistently and you will notice that your vaginal muscles are tighter with each passing day. Be patient because best results can be seen within two weeks or even a month depending on how weak your pelvic muscles are. This workout is excellent for women who have just had a vaginal birth and would like to regain the tightness of their pelvic region.

Build your core


This means engaging in core exercises such as crunches, leg ups, sit ups and planks. The strength of your core will enable you to hold your pelvic muscles. It is also excellent for sustaining activity in terms of thrust and ensuring that different sexual positions are easier to accomplish.

How to Lose Belly Fat and get Flattened Stomach


Is it only training and dieting that can help one lose belly fat? It is definitely not as I will prove in this post. There are many ways that have been tested and proven to flatten stomachs for potbellied persons without breaking sweat. Do you want to know about them? Read through to get informed. I have tried using some of these simple options and the results were pleasant enough.
  • Eat when necessary- potbellied persons fall into that problem because they have no priorities when eating. They just eat as long as they have seen something edible. To deal with the belly, you are supposed to take food when it’s necessary. That is only when you are completely hungry and you will see the stomach flatten quickly.
  • Have enough sleep- body metabolism is highest when asleep thus you are not supposed to deny your body this important aspect of flattening a belly. Inadequate sleep slows the metabolism rate so you have to spend not less than eight hours of your day sleeping.
  • Regulate alcohol- alcoholic drinks impact hugely in the growth of a pot belly so you are advised to regulate that. Alcohol has high calories thus the more you drink the higher the calories you take in. If you can’t stop taking alcohol then minimize its consumption and it will help deal a blow to your potbelly.
  • Portion your meals- people think that three meals should be taken in a day that is breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, dividing those into small meals will be the best way to flatten your potbelly. Instead of three heavy meals, you can take five or six light meals in a day. It helps in losing weight.
  • Avoid junkies- junk foods are known to supply the body with many fats and calories leading to a potbelly. That is where you should trade your focus on when trying to flatten the stomach. Eliminate junk foods like fries from your meals and you will have it easy flattening the belly. You can’t burn out calories and replace them with the same yet you want to eliminate the belly. You must observe what you eat.
  • Stick to your goals- there must be a reason why you want to do away with your potbelly and should not be lost on the way. Make sure you have stuck to that all the time to guarantee success to your belly flattening mission. Even if it means coming up with a list of the reasons then do that to ensure you don’t forget.
  • Avoid restaurants- the best food is the one you have prepared in the house because you know the processes involved. Wen trying to flatten your belly, it is advisable not to eat in restaurants because they cook with a lot of oil which encourages the belly to grow.
