Belly Basics

How to belly dance..?

Can anyone direct me to a website that has some instruction on belly dancing? (Without needing to buy a DVD or anything!) I just want to learn the basics! Thanks

Roy B is corrrect, you can find alot of DVD's at the public library. However, I would check some reviews on belly dance DVD's before seriously studying the movements taught on it. Most DVD's I have checked out from my library are pretty decent. There was one that really wasn't very good. I would not have known that if I hadn't already been taking belly dances for a few years already by then. You can check Shira's website.

If you decide that you want to take classes, some of the websites have teacher/dancer listings.

It is quite difficult to really learn belly dance correctly from a DVD or online since you can't ask questions if you don't quite understand what they are doing. There are some videos on YouTube that are okay.

Try This One-of-a-kind Flat Belly Diet

The flat belly diet is based on monosaturated fats, also called by nickname MUFA. It has been suggested that every meal should have MUFA component, as it is the secret ingredient that carve away belly fat. It sounds like a dream come true, eat certain foods and banish belly fat forever.

Where will you find MUFA? These are found in olives, avocados, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, and soybean, flax, olive and sunflower oils. Eating these foods at every meal you can control your calorie intake and at the same time lose the dangerous belly fat around your waistline. You can easily fit these meals into the flat belly diet menu, and enjoy the rich flavor of MUFA’s and their numerous health benefits.

The basic flat belly diet plan is a 28-day 1,600 calorie Mediterranean style diet with an stress on wholesome, unrefined foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, seeds, lean protein and a very little red meat and best of all, no fat grams to measure, no carbohydrates or calories to count! Start with a 4-day anti-bloat jumpstart period, designed to reduce swelling. Drink 2 liters of water, a blend of spices, herbs, citrus and cucumber.

Now, you're ready to start a 4-week eating plan. Include three 400-calorie meals a day of your choice, enough to curb your hunger. Include MUFA with each meal and ban all artificial food such as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats.

During this period do not have any type of sweets and avoid bread made out of purified flour. Drink as much water as you can and some fresh natural fruit juices as orange juice. Skip beer and the wine for other periods.

Have every day a good breakfast with plenty fresh fruits as pineapple, strawberries, apples, pears, oranges, and grapefruit. Have natural oat flakes but with skimmed milk and no sugar at all. Have eggs if you want, boiled or fried with a very small quantity of virgin olive oil.

Three or four hours later, you can have another strong meal similar to breakfast with plenty of boiled vegetables and grilled chicken or turkey breast or grilled fish. Have salads. In the salads and vegetables you can use small amounts of virgin olive oil. Spices can make them tastier.

Before going to sleep, take a piece of fruit, a glass of skimmed milk or skimmed yoghurt. One of the key features of the flat belly diet is its flexibility. Many of the meals require little or no cooking.

The flat belly diet program recommends exercise that include a series of cardio workouts, and full body resistance training exercises. Walk instead of taking the bus. Avoid elevators. Find time to go to the gym, swim, do jogging, and make love.

Many studies have suggested that consuming flat belly diet plan rich in MUFA is linked to a reduction in LDL cholesterol, the kind that clogs up arteries, and a boost in HDL, the kind that sweeps cholesterol out of the arteries and clears it from the body. They can also lower the risk of heart disease and improve insulin.

With all such benefits this flat belly diet is basically a diet plan designed for getting rid of the belly fat forever. Be patient and allow several months for the slimming process.
