Weight Loss Tip of the Day
Where Do You Lose Weight First?
There is very little you can do to influence specific subcutaneous fat distribution. Exercise should always be a part of any fat loss program - but vigorously exercising a specific body part will not have any influence on local fat in that area. Neither will high-repetition (e.g. 20-30 reps) weight training lead to greater fat loss. In fact the loss of intensity may ultimately result in less fat loss than lower-reps with heavier weights.
Breakfast @ 11am
Watermelon. Sweet bread.
Snack @ 2-4pm
Cup of red sugar tea (to relieve cramps). ~30 raw almonds.
Dinner @ 6pm
Half of a large Chinese pancake. Bowl of spare ribs and carrots soup. Bowl of taro, sweet longan and tangyuan soup.
Exercise @ 9.45pm
15 minutes stretching following this routine. Some moves are too hard to follow and I don’t enjoy doing it. Doesn’t stretch muscles as much as the traditional stuff.

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.

5 yogurt raisins. 1 small packet of low fat bagel chips.
Wii @ 5.30pm
40 minutes Just Dance 2. 5 minutes stretching.
Dinner @ 6.15pm
Bowl of vegetables soup. Half of corn and ham bread.
Snack @ 9pm
2 Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

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.

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. :(
