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.

11 Tactics to Get More from Your Gym Sessions:
Cut your sessions to 45 minutes
Your gym sessions should not go for longer than 45 minutes. Any long than this and your body starts to produce a chemical that can actually hamper your progress. But that is not the only reason. If you cut your session times down you will be forced to fit more in and work harder. This is a fantastic way to work out – intensely.Breakfast @ 8.30am
Half a plain bun with egg and vegetables. Cup of homemade passionfruit tea. Seaweed-flavoured peanut slab.
Gym @ 10am
25 minutes cardio: 10 minutes rowing (was aiming for 15 but the machine was broken) + 15 minutes cross-trainer (aerobics mode, sort of like interval training).
15 minutes weight training.
Lunch @ 2pm
Potato and ham quiche.
Short black. My first non-mocha coffee experience. Ohh mah fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Will stick to green tea as the weight loss drink. Once in a life time is more than enough for that kind of ordeal. *shudders*
Dinner @ 7pm
Bowl of red rice congee with egg and vegetables. Half slice of red bean cake. Small bowl of mung bean soup.

Diet Tip of the Day
Know Your Daily Liquid Calorie Intake:
Milk
Researchers at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville found that having three servings of low-fat dairy per day can lead to weight loss of 10 percent or more. Dairy contains calcium and the amino acid leucine, which together promote fat burning. And a study of overweight women at Northern Illinois University found that soy milk was just as effective as nonfat cow’s milk in helping them shed pounds. But stick to skim or low-fat moo juice and light soy milk; otherwise, the calories add up quickly.
Lunch @ 1pm
Had guests over. Bowl of vegetable soup. Large bowl of noodles, sushi and other things. Bowl of sweet grass jelly soup. 1 chocolate brownie.
Snack @ 8pm
Few sips of sweet grass jelly soup. Half of a small slice of red bean cake.

Top 10 Belly-Bloating Foods to Avoid:
Bulky Raw Foods
A half-cup serving of cooked carrots delivers the same nutrition as one cup raw, but it takes up less room in your GI tract. Eat only cooked vegetables, smaller portions of unsweetened dried fruit, and canned fruits in natural juice. This will allow you to meet your nutrient needs without expanding your GI tract with extra volume.
Morning Tea @ 12pm
Slice of Chocolate mousse cake from Gateau House. Delicacy!
Lunch @ 2pm
Massive meal at my favourite Chinese restaurant.
Wii @ 5.30pm
15 minutes Wii Fit yoga and muscle training.
45 minutes Just Dance 2.
