Diet Tip of the Day
Keep the Skin On
Speaking of fiber, a lot of it’s in the peel, whether it’s potatoes, apples, or pears. Even oranges: Don’t eat the whole peel, but keep the pith, that white, stringy stuff—it’s packed with heart-healthy compounds called flavonoids.Breakfast @ 8am
Small pot of yogurt. Watermelon. Small bowl of plain congee with vegetables.
Lunch @ 1-3pm
Snack foods (lots of fried foods) during karaoke with friends. My best high school girl friends group. Long time no see!
Drink @ 3.30pm
Glass of coke… at a strip club. Haha I managed to drag my innocent girl friends into a strip club.
Dinner @ 7.30pm
Half bowl of noodles and vegetables.

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

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.

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.
Wii @ 5.30pm
15 minutes Wii Fit yoga and muscle training.
45 minutes Just Dance 2.

Weight Loss Tip of the Day
Can You Lose Weight While You Sleep?
When you haven’t had a lot of sleep, your body reacts much the same as if you haven’t eaten enough; your leptin levels fall as your ghrelin levels shoot up. This triggers hunger, which, in turn, triggers overeating and that, of course, leads to weight gain. These hormonal changes also seem to signal the body to put the brakes on metabolism and cling to fat stores more tenaciously. Those who get by on less than four hours of sleep a night were a whopping 73 percent more likely to be obese than people who slumber seven to nine hours nightly
Breakfast @ 6.30am
Half a sweet bun.
Lunch @ 12.30pm
Yum cha. Not the best choice for a weight loss person.
Afternoon Tea @ 4pm
~ Half glass of wintermelon tea.
Dinner @ 5pm
Small bowl of soup with 1 wonton. Watermelon.
Had to skip yesterday’s food log because of having to rush a 4000-word essay. I can finally have a good night’s sleep tonight.

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. :(
