A great beach body (or however you want to call it) has become a dream of many, men and women of all ages. Especially in this world of public scrutiny and self image, where you can show it off in all your social media platforms, endlessly. Although working out seems to be the norm, there seems to be no end in the many alternatives to ‘skip’ it.

For men especially, age, stress, lack of physical activity, and bad diet makes it almost impossible to even try to maintain an ideal weight. As the year adds up, so does the waist line. And the quest for a perfect body gets stored further and further away on the back burner. Are you one of them?

A procedure that H clinic, a premium beauty enhancement clinic in South Jakarta, offers for such individuals is what they call as the ‘Non Work Out Six Pack’ that includes a ‘liposculpting’ procedure that not only get rid of your unwanted fat, but also shapes your body.

Another option is to go for Indian food, as they almost always offer vegetarian option. In this list we gather some of best selection for vegetarian food in Jakarta.

3. VMAD (Vegetarian)

VMAD

This restaurant used to only serve Indian food under the name; Komala’s Indian Vegetarian Restaurant, until they recently revamped their menu by keeping their Indian specialties, and adding new more crowd friendly vegetarian selections such as burgers, pasta, and pizza. We recommend trying one of their many region-based Indian food like the Punjabi Feast, and North Indian Feast, among others.
