Weight Loss Tip of the Day
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.

Fitness Tip of the Day
Free Weights vs Exercise Machines: Which is Better?
If you are trying to lose weight, get fit or sculpt some part of your body you will be much better off using free weights. When you use free weights you get an increased range of motion. This range of motion means that you will be working more muscles at once and as such you will get a more intense workout.
However,
The main advantage of exercise machines is that they are safe. These machines are designed to use your body in a certain fashion and as such there is a lot less room for injury. Another major advantage of the exercise machine is the fact that they teach you how to do exercises in the proper fashion. As the machine is built for one particular movement only it is a lot easier to learn how to do that movement.

How to Lose Weight for Good, Your Ultimate Guide:
The myth of fat-free
Fat free meals are, 90% of the time, bad for your waist line. Fat does not make you fat. Some fats are good for you. Fat free foods are generally packed full of sugar – and sugar makes you fat. Next time you buy something that is fat free and claims to be good for your weight loss take a look at the nutritional information. I bet it is full of sugar.Breakfast @ 11am
Watermelon. Honey melon.
Lunch @ 1pm
Bowl of vegetarian instant noodles.

Diet Tip of the Day
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.

15 minutes Wii Fit yoga and muscle training.
