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.

Fitness Tip of the Day
11 Tactics to Get More from Your Gym Sessions:
Use heavy weights
Whoever it was that first said that light weights tone your muscles was a fool. Light weights don’t do much at all to be honest. If you want to tone up and lose weight then you need to use heavy weights. Don’t worry, you won’t get bulky. All you will do is burn calories faster and make a lot more progress.Definitely had this misconception for a long time. It’s no wonder all the weight training wasn’t seeing obvious results.
Breakfast @ 11am
Bowl of red rice porridge with vegetables. Small slice of homemade chocolate brownie.
Snack @ 2pm
10 raw almonds and small packet of baked bagel chips.
Afternoon Tea @ 4pm
10 raw almonds and ~5 yogurt raisins.
Dinner @ 6.30pm
Bowl of red rice porridge with vegetables. Small bowl of grass jelly.

Handful of raw almonds.
