Pakistan world’s ninth most obese country

[LadyFinger]

In Pakistan, absence of physical exertion is the main cause of obesity generally, both in males and females. Even if people don't eat that much, physical deactivation causes a deshaped body.

I would be too if I was served those delicious Pakistani dishes.. Pakistani Cuisine is a delight.
Just last weekend I tried making Sindhi Biriyani. Turned out decent... Fatty but too good.

More than the men, its the Pakistani women who are chunky. 90% of the Paksitani women I know are obese.

Most Pakistanis become chubby and obese when they turn old - the Youth here are relatively healthy and fit due to physical activity; but once that stops - they begin to gain weight. Our diet also plays a major role.

After marriage; women get obese - I have no idea why.

But like I said; it's mostly old/middle age people that are obese.

Here's the ultimate Lollywood workout we've all been waiting for

DESK REPORT


You thought Lollywood was over? Think again.

We watched some of Lollywood's biggest films to show you what the industry's greatest contribution to Pakistani life could be — #fitspo


Fitness is a big thing in Pakistan now — you've got your zumba, your yoga, your high-intensity interval training and more.

But wait, haven't we forgotten something?

LOLLYWOOD.

You may think Lollywood is over, but it ain't. We watched some of Lollywood's biggest films to show you what the industry's greatest contribution to Pakistani life could be — #fitspo.

Let this workout be your guide.

1) First, stretch that neck and chase your lady love around to warm up

Anjuman and her boy gang in 'Break Dance Bhabhi Break Dance' (Tiger, 1987) make sure to do a short cardio warm-up before jumping into stretches.

2) Now prance like you're in Riverdance

Word of advice: These guys may not be wearing the most practical workout gear, so rethink yours. Let's be honest: only Sultan Rahi can move that swiftly in leather pants.

3) Thrust your hips out coz you got the power

Sana's lightning fast moves put us to shame (literally). No wonder Moammar Rana can hardly keep his eyes off her in 'Pandi Aay Barsaat Way' (Humayun Gujjar).

4) Now hump that waterfall

Here, Meera shows how to get sleek legs like hers in 'Saun Da Mahina' (Dada Badmash).

This one is sure to work your butt too; after all, Meera's booty ain't jhooti.

5) If you're feeling itchy, scratch that behind on the floor

Want Narghis' strong arms? Gotta work work work them triceps like her in'Akh Teri Meri Sajna Larri Larri' (Badmash Gujjar, 2001).

6) Do a tuck and roll to loosen up your spine

Meera's dance moves 'Saun Da Mahina' show us just how to achieve her cinched waist.

Lift your hands and feet off the ground, and just roll to one side and then back. Add the additional thrust if need be, it seems to be Meera's signature move.

7) Leg extensions

Work those glutes! Nargis perfectly executes the leg tap without breaking into a sweat in 'Kurti Ae Gilli Gilli' (Babbu Khan, 2002).

This move also works your butt and abs.

8) Now swoosh

Repeat on the other side.

9) Find a tree, execute reverse push-up

Saima goes for some elevation to impress her boy Shaan in 'Dil Pyar Karnoon Karda' (Kalo Shah Puria).

This really puts in the muscle work for triceps, legs and abs, but be warned: this is more of an expert move so take care not to throw out your back.

10) Now flip it over and bounce off the floor

Be fierce like Nargis is in 'Akh Teri Meri Sajna Larri Larri.'

11) Grab your friends and do the criss-cross shuffle

Field optional.

The boys from Tiger show you how to get the most out of your cardio. Bonus points if you hold hands all the way through.

12) Don't forget to do a pit sniff to check your BO level

Because all that dancin' must've worked up a sweat.

Can you believe that's Ahsan Khan? Neither can we, but he owes his hot bod to his debut film Nikah (1998) alongside Nimra.

13) Wrap it up with a thumka — voila!

Saima and Nargis make one-leg circles and pelvic thrust squats look like a piece of cake in 'Kurti Ae Gilli Gilli'.

Repeat this workout three times over for best results and try not to double over with laughter, even though we know it's going to be hard.

I don't think Pakistan is the 9th but things are pretty bad. Pakistan is "fattest" in South Asia. I guess Pakistan can at least take pride in being "well fed" in South Asia.

Yeeah I agree, the girls after getting married have less of a motivation to stay fit.

Woah; we're actually pretty average compared to other countries in Asia.

You come to Hyderabad..you will get back of pakistani dishes.

 

[mpk1988]

You come to Hyderabad..you will get back of pakistani dishes.

Hyderabadi is also awesome.. Too much food. Too little time on the planet... and perils of aging..

 

[war&peace]

Subtract Lahore, Gujjranwala and Faisalabad as outliers and you will have Pakistan among normal countries and rank between 50 and 70

 

[Winchester]

Tells you about the wealth gap in the country more than anything else.
There was also a report about Pakistanis wasting this much food.....in a country with such poor places like Thar and Balochistan,its pathetic really !!!

 

[karakoram]

And major contribution would have been from Lahore and Faisalabad

And charsi ke tikkay from peshawar
