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.

Diet Tip of the Day
Nutrition Rules You Don’t Need To Follow:
The no-food-right-before-bed rule was meant for the nighttime nosher who mindlessly wolfs down a bag of Oreos while watching CSI: Miami. If you get home long after dark, a late dinner is perfectly fine. A calorie is a calorie, no matter what time you eat it. But do keep your evening meal light—along the lines of a chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and brown rice. Too much chow will keep you up at night: To break down all that food, your gut has to churn like a cement truck.
Breakfast @ 8.30am
Cheese bread with cranberry cheese. Cup of passionfruit tea.
Swimming @ 12pm
1 hour swimming + spa + sauna at five-star Pullman hotel (previously Hyatt). Went with boss. The most luxurious lecture break for a uni student.

300mL Sprite Zero (3 cal). Doctor sister says that if you wish to have soft drinks, Sprite Zero is the best choice.
Dinner @ 7.30pm
Bowl of rice with vegetables and pork mince.
Snack @ 9.30pm
5 yogurt raisins.
Breakfast @ 8.30am
1 piece of bread, with cranberry cheese.

Bowl of pumpkin and feta cheese salad.
Coffee @ 2pm
Mochaccino. Yay haven’t had it for so long.
Dinner @ 7pm
Bowl of rice with cooked capsicums and mince with beans.
Fitness Tip of the Day
10 Signs You’re Exercising Too Much:
Fat gain
If you’ve lost weight but noticed an increase in body fat, you could be in the later stages of exercise overload. The body responds to prolonged stress by elevating levels of stress hormones, including cortisol, Stenstrup says. Over time this will lead to increased storage of adipose tissue, as well as inhibit steroid-like hormones that normally help increase muscle. A decrease in muscle mass can cause you to shed a few pounds, but this isn’t a good thing since it means your body’s less efficient at burning fat.
Breakfast @ 7.30am
Bread and low fat cheese.
Lunch @ 1pm
Bowl of caesar salad with salmon. It had lots of white sauce… probably very fat.
Dinner @ 6.30pm
Bowl of duck and cabbage soup. 1/3 bowl of red rice and vegetables. 2/3 of a sausage.
I feel like I’m putting on weight again (maybe going back to eating 3 meals a day haha). Not going to put myself on the scales just now.
