Weight Loss Tip of the Day
The Sneaky Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight:
Fat-free foods
These sound ideal, but they’re major diet traps. When foods that are supposed to have fat in them are made fat free, like cookies or ice cream, they’re also taste free. To make up for the lack of flavor, manufacturers add things like sugar, salt and starch, which are terrible for your diet. Having some fat in your meals is better for losing weight. Fat is much more satiating than sugar, so if you’re not getting any fat, you may not feel full and that can lead to overeating. You’re often better off having a small portion of the full-fat stuff.Breakfast @ 10am
Banana and watermelon. 2 small slices of Chinese pancake.
Lunch @ 1pm
3 small buns (bite-sized). Chicken feet. Small portion of noodles. Cake.
Afternoon Tea @ 3pm
Handful of raw almonds and raisins.
Dinner @ 6.30pm
Bowl of vegetarian noodles.

The amino acid arginine, abundant in watermelon, might promote weight loss, according to a new study in the Journal of Nutrition. Adding this amino acid to the diet enhanced fat and glucose oxidation while increasing lean muscle, which burns more calories than fat. Snack on watermelon while it’s in season, and enjoy other arginine sources — such as seafood, nuts and seeds — year-round.Breakfast @ 7.30am
