10 Important Things to Remember When Trying to Lose Weight:
Say no to crash and fad diets
It has long been proven that crash and fad diets do not work. They only give you short term weight loss, sometimes at the cost your health. With these diets, you mainly lose water weight and not body fat. Crash and fad diets are temporary solutions.Breakfast @ 8.30am
Ham, cheese and egg sandwich (two layers).
Lunch @ 12pm
2/3 Bacon and egg sandwich. Hot chocolate. Few bites of salad. Some lemon tart and lemon bread.
Dinner @ 7pm
Bowl of veges and laksa curry. Ham, cheese and egg sandwich (two layers).
Sat on a large exercise ball at work as my office chair, otherwise I was working while standing up.

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.

Diet/Fitness Tip of the Day
How To Take Protein Shakes After Workout:
Drink a protein shake within one hour after working out. There is a window of time where the body reaps the most benefit from nutrition post-workout. Ideally, drinking a shake 15 to 30 minutes after a workout allows the body to take up the nutrients at a quicker rate to allow repair and recovery.
Lunch @ 11am
Half bowl of mushroom and corn soup. Small bowl of pumpkins.
Afternoon Tea @ 4pm
Pot of green tea.
Dinner @ 7pm
Mexican Cafe with UN Youth team. Salad and beef mince on rice. I ate 1/2 to 2/3. Incredulously yum!
