If you have faith....

I heard that faith can cause miracles. But this news is quite unbelievable. A pastor in South Africa has made a woman lose fat around her waist and reduce it by two inches in a matter of a few minutes. Now, I am also growing fat around my belly and waist due to prolonged sedentary work, and don't know how to bring it back to my older shape, and hence this piece of story amused and piqued my interest . Well, if I had some guru, pastor, messiah in my vicinity who could do such a feat like this , I would definitely visit him/her, though I am not that sort of a religious person. The urge to reduce belly fat in such a short time would convince me to become ardent follower of a godman, albeit for a short time.
So, mylotters, what's your take on this ?

I don't think it's true. There are many fake news these days. If you don't have the time to exercise you can manage your diet or else do some light exercises which can be done early in the morning lying on the bed.

@Sojourn You just have to lie on your back, bend your legs towards your knees. Breathe in and exhale. Spout your lips while you exhale and pull your tummy inwards. Do this for ten minutes everyday.

Though I do believe in healers..this is simply poking fun as one of the commenters had mentioned there.

Ah, well, I do believe in the power of faith, prayer and I think that if God willed it yes it would be possible to lose weight like that.... however.... I also think there are those that exploit issues of faith. There are other ways to lose weight, that are more difficult, so I just don't know that a miracle would be granted for such a thing. ;-)

Well, it is said that faith can move mountains. When l wanted to lose weight, l felt to pray for it would have been vanity. So instead l changed my diet and lost the weight. Not in minutes but over eight months. That was 15 years ago - and l have never regained it.

I don't know what to say. I am not able to believe in this story. I feel one should have faith but can't just sit and wait for things to happen. One needs to work hard for it thereby achieving results over a period of time. You can start by taking out some time from your schedule and take walking then can slowly start exercising too

that's interesting. I would be first in line if someone in our area can do such thing. But I believe with regular exercise and balanced diet - less carbs and sugar - can do wonders. although it would take time and not cut the inches off the belly in a matter of minutes.
