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.

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.

Diet Tip of the Day
14 Stress-Free Ways to Kick Weight Loss in the Butt:
Allow yourself to cheat
A strict diet plan is a bad one. If you are severely restricting yourself, and you feel deprived of good foods, you won’t last long. Instead, relax a little bit, giving yourself a cheat meal or two each week, and allowing yourself to cheat a little on special occasions.I guess my occasional “bad” days aren’t so bad after all!
Breakfast @ 7.30am
Half of a sandwich (chicken, egg, tomatoes, lettuce).
Morning Tea @ 10.30am
Other half of the sandwich.
Dinner @ 5pm
Plate of bacon, mushrooms, vegetables. Piece of my amazingly delicious chocolate mousse birthday cake.
Wii Fit @ 9pm
30 minutes yoga and muscle training.
