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

15 Easy Ways to Born More Fat:
Drink Cold Water
German researchers found that drinking 6 cups of cold water a day (that’s 48 ounces) can raise resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily—enough to shed 5 pounds in a year, with essentially zero additional effort. The increase may come from the work it takes to heat the water to body temperature.
Lunch @ 12pm
Plain bun (no stuffing) with dried tofu and fish.
Wii @ 4pm
30 minutes Just Dance 2. 15 minutes Wii Fit yoga and muscle training.
Dinner @ 6.30pm
Chinese restaurant dinner. No rice. 1 item or a couple of bites from each dish.
Progress Update since 7 days ago
Weight: -0.7 kg according to Wii Fit.

Diet Tip of the Day
Fending off a snack attack can be as simple as asking, Am I hungry? When a craving doesn’t come from hunger, food will never satisfy it. To prevent binging, eat before you feel signals such as irritability, light-headedness or headaches.
I am terribly guilty of this…
Breakfast @ 10.30am
Burger King Chicken Grabba meal, shared fries and frozen coke with boyfriend.
Lunch @ 2pm
Fruit and potato salad. Half of a pork cutlet.
Dinner @ 6pm
Chinese restaurant, 1 bowl of food. 1 bowl of sweet red bean soup.
Snack @ 9pm
Plate of watermelon and blueberries.

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.

Diet Tip of the Day
3 ‘Health’ Foods That Really Aren’t:
Many of the popular brands of nutrition bars are high in saturated fat, refined sugar, and hydrogenated oils. Some of them even contain the calorie equivalent of a candy bar. A better option would be an apple and some peanut butter, or you could try making your own “power bar.”
Breakfast @ 8am
Watermelon. Bowl of mung bean soup.
Lunch @ 11am
Corned beef and piccadilly sandwich. 10 roasted almonds.
Dinner @ 6pm
Watermelon.
Chinese New Year family dinner at Chinese restaurant. 2 bowls food, 2 bowls soup.
Stretches @ 8.45pm
15 minutes Moves to Slim Without the Gym. Because parents were watching TV and wouldn’t let me play Just Dance 2. :(
