Diet Tip of the Day
Can Drinking Diet Soda Help Me Lose Weight?
The average 12-ounce can of cola delivers 150 calories, almost all of them from sugar. No study to date has ever shown diet soda to be especially useful in helping people prevent or shed unwanted pounds. In fact, there is a growing body of research that seems to suggest that high diet soda consumption is associated with a higher risk of obesity and may surprisingly carry an even greater risk of obesity than drinking regular, full-calorie and -sugar drinks.
Breakfast @ 8.30am
Cheese bread with low fat cheese.

10 Important Things to Remember When Trying to Lose Weight:
Say no to crash and fad diets
It has long been proven that crash and fad diets do not work. They only give you short term weight loss, sometimes at the cost your health. With these diets, you mainly lose water weight and not body fat. Crash and fad diets are temporary solutions.
Breakfast @ 8.30am
Ham, cheese and egg sandwich (two layers).
Lunch @ 12pm
2/3 Bacon and egg sandwich. Hot chocolate. Few bites of salad. Some lemon tart and lemon bread.
Dinner @ 7pm
Bowl of veges and laksa curry. Ham, cheese and egg sandwich (two layers).
Sat on a large exercise ball at work as my office chair, otherwise I was working while standing up.
Diet Tip of the Day
Orthorexia: An Unhealthy Obsession With Healthy Eating:
Orthorexia boils down to someone who is very, very concerned with eating what they consider the perfect diet. But healthy eating can turn rigid and confining, wiping out whole categories of food one by one—first anything with additives, perhaps, then maybe nonorganic produce, and then another and another. It can become decidedly unhealthy. Like anorexia and bulimia, it can wreak serious damage on the health of someone trapped in the obsession.
As I have mentioned before, allow yourself to cheat! I have so many “bad” days that I don’t feel like I’m on a conscious diet plan, but I’ve been getting lighter, fitter and happier. :)
Lunch @ 1pm
A lovely lunch with boss and colleague at a Chinese/Malaysian restaurant. Had soup, fish balls, noodles, eggplants, fish and other veges. Japanese green tea milk tea with pearls, half sugar.
Snack @ 3.30pm
Few bites of Whittaker’s dark chocolate and Toblerone.
Dinner @ 8.30-11pm
Finger foods at friend’s 21st. Probably the second 21st party I’ve been to out of the countless ones I’ve been invited to. Coldless, antisocial, lazy, I know. :P
