Want To Lose Weight? Here's How.

You want to lose weight without exercising or dieting/looking after what you eat?

Come to me, I'll give you one BIG BITCH SLAP.

Common Mistakes In Weight Loss Attempt

There's no such thing as losing weight without increased physical activity (i.e exercise) or reduced calorie intake (i.e dieting).

Overweight and obesity is most often caused by our lifestyle. Don't blame the genetics. Of course in some cases it's due to medical condition i.e hypothyroidism but most factors are modifiable.

How do I lose/maintain my weight? To be honest, it's all about hard work and determination.

How's my food intake?

I'm not a fan of Atkin's diet or whatever diet there is. I don't believe in restricting yourself. I don't believe in "This is bad food. Avoid it." I don't believe in diets that avoid rice but pile up on bread and noodles. Rice, bread and noodles are all carbs. Atkins diet is good but as Asians, how long can you avoid rice?

Eating is one of the pleasures in life. Would you want to be skinny but miserable?

Since so long, I practiced moderation. I eat everything and my favourite is fried foods but I eat in moderation. I take smaller portion. I eat slowly so I'll feel full faster. I don't eat till I'm stuffed, I'll eat until I'm not hungry but not too full.

Eat more protein as it makes you more satiated than carbs or fats. It will also sustain you much longer. Reduce your sugar intake/sugary drinks. Indulge but in moderation

Exercise, exercise, exercise

I've always emphasized the importance of exercising. Ask all my friends and they will tell you I'm an active person. Before I joined a gym, I'll jog (even though I hate jogging) or swim. It's not only for weight management but also good stress reliever and I sleep better at night.

How do you stay motivated in exercising?

Find something that you love doing so it will not feel like a chore. I love dancing so I do Zumba, Sh'bam and cardio dance. Since I love it, I'll always look forward for my next workout.

Join a gym. I can honestly tell you it's worth the money. If you have extra budget, hire a personal trainer. Sure you can do weight training on your own but trainers can teach you the proper way of doing certain things so you can achieve better result and most importantly, not hurt yourself in the process.

Do weight training to build more muscle and tone up. When your muscle mass is satisfactory, you'll burn more calorie even when you are resting. Read HERE on why weight training is important.

Supplements I took?

When you are active and you don't eat proper meal (like me), you need to supplement yourself with basic nutrients. I take multivitamins, fish oil and vitamin C.

I also take fat burners before my exercise basically to give me more energy and to help me burn fat more efficiently. I take protein drinks after workout for recovery and help me become leaner.

What are the fat burners you can take?

1. Caffeine based (Thermogenics) - I took this for my pre-workout. Usually caffeine based products will increase your metabolism so you burn more calorie. You'll feel energetic (to the point of being restless, jittery), warmer and sweat like a pig.

But just keep in mind, caffeine based products are not suitable for those who are intolerant to caffeine or those with hypertension

2. Non-caffeine based - CLA (here's the LINK to read more about CLA) and L-Carnitine ( read HERE)

Selalu customers yang datang beli fat burner tapi makan melantak macam tidak ingat, lepas tu complaint cakap produk tidak berkesan memang mau minta tampar.

All these fat burners are supportive. The main thing is you MUST EXERCISE AND REDUCE YOUR CALORIE INTAKE.

No pain no gain dude. All the best!

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.

Manusia Dua Alam

Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat. Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard. First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!" Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga. Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
