No short cuts to a belly good body
February 1, 2006 | 12:00am
Hi, Lucy!
I’m 20 years old and a busy administration assistant at a prestigious airline company. My problem is I have a big tummy and I hate it. I want to wear figure-hugging clothes, but they don’t look good on me and I just feel so depressed. With my busy schedule at work, I can’t really find the time to go to the gym. Please help me get rid of my big tummy.

Honestly, there is no way – short of surgery, that is – that you can get rid of the excess fat in your tummy unless you really work on it (meaning, the right diet coupled with exercise). So, until you set your heart and mind to actually doing something about it, you will just have to, I guess, content yourself with camouflaging the problem by wearing girdles and tummy controllers under your clothes. Of course, the gratification is short-lived for at the end of the day, when you take them all off, reality will bite. It all depends on how badly you want a flat tummy. You have to take charge because sadly, flat tummies don’t always just happen.

Dear Tingting,
My friends tell me that I’m lucky to be slim and tall. Never would they think that I’d have any problems about what to wear. But the truth is, I’m so conscious about my height (I’m 5’11") and I don’t really know what clothes would suit me. Please help!

Go for tunics, lon g vests, long flowing scarves. Wear hip-hugging pants. Use large accessories like a big handbag or a large pin. Stand tall and proud – and fashionable.

Dear Mary,
My boyfriend suffers from foot odor. This developed so suddenly that when he woke up one morning, he was so irritated with the smell of his feet. We are not aware of how this happened or where the problem is coming from.
Could you give us some suggestions on how my boyfriend can remove the bad odor from his feet?

Your boyfriend must observe proper foot hygiene. Here’s the step-by-step procedure:
1) Wash feet with warm water and deodorant soap.
2) Wipe feet with alcohol to kill the bacteria.
3) Apply Fissan foot powder.
