Dieting, the road to loose 7 kilos

Losing weight is a hard process man.


[The following lines are semi spontaneous line without reading the last 13 pages]

I was at 92 kilo before during my weight peak. The formula?

Afternoon = Economy Rice with Sweet and Sour Fried meat mixes with flour, looks like rocks

Evening= After class, when to the newly open 7-11 to get slurpy (A BIG NONONO)

Dinner = Some rice with deep fried meat or fried noodles

Supper = Roti Telur with Milo Ais. Alternate days are banana shake.

So from a slim 82 (I'm born big, never reach below 80 in my life) I plum to 92Kgs or 95 Kgs.

The moral? The oil, flour, carbohydrates (From banana shake) and late night snacks make me gain weight in fat in as little as 1 month. Nearly 9 kilos

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I did a few rescue extreme steps that only lasted one semester with one subject.

Morning: OATS with milo or sunlac milk. occasionally nasi lemak or rava thosai with teh o panas kurang manis.

Reason: Morning is the most important meal of the day, increase your metabolism too. Also don’t worry about dieting in the morning because most probably they get digested by night fall

Midmorning: Snacks like Mc Vitees McNoobs or oats again. Maybe whole meal bread or the ultra expensive gardenia health bread (forgot the name, comes in blue, yellow and red I think)

Reason: Keep your energy high and also metabolism. Metabolism burns fat, that’s why we exercise. The metabolism comes in when your stomach digest the food, better if its complicated carbohydrates like oats or whole meal.

Afternoon: Lunch, now since we had some thing like before, we are not so famish to gobble down our meals. Get something like steam chicken, chicken in black sauce, assam fish or just plain fish with some veggies. Portion should be a fist for each dish. As for rice, I started with less then a portion, then slowly none at all.

Reason: Any meat not fried is good for losing weight as oil not only give of the fat in us, we get pimples easily too. Vegetables are important to make sure the meat gets digested properly because of the fiber. I once ate meat only, resulting extremely long time in the toilet. Then less rice is always good as rice is the main culprit for weight gain. Make sure a portion (fist size) for meat and veggies. Rice also try to keep less then a portion

Evening: About 3-4 pm, hungry will come back as the result of not eating too much rice. So either go for some whole meal bread, biscuits, oats with milo kosong. Never, i mean never go for the typical Malaysian tea meals sold by malay stalls (pisang goring, mee hoon, mee, cucur udang). You can buy poh piah, just tell them not to add the pork’s lard (The crunchy part of the poh piah).

Reason: When we feel hungry, our stomach is telling us we need to eat. Starving our self like those typical people on diet is a bad method as mood swings tend to occur (dont kacau me lah!) and muscle loss. This also keeps the metabolism level up.

Dinner: Should be about 6-7 pm. Usually I go for steam or white chicken rice, yong tau fu or chee cheong fun. If I don’t exercise after my meal, then less rice is eaten. Some times the noodles are skipped altogether except the meaty parts. Of course tell the aunty or uncle not to add the noodles otherwise food is wasted.

Reason: As you can see, nothing is fried or oily is on the list. The problem with most M'sian food is that the good ones are mostly fried. Also no carbohydrates (rice or noodles) after 6pm when no exercising is done after the meal. Because carbs taken at this time tend to be turned to fat as we get less active in the night (at home watching dramas or blogging).

Supper: Have a milo kosong, maybe 2-3 pieces of whole meal bread. Boiled white eggs if you like. Skim milks with milo are also nice.

Reason: You must be wondering why I take snacks right? Since it’s bad for us in general. Actually the snacks is taken so that the stomach won’t be too hungry when we sleep. An empthy stomach will tend to use our body muscle as a source of energy to last the night. This is bad for body builders. But the snacks I took are light in general, mostly in liquid form with zero oil.


Q&A:

Why so many meals? 5 of them? Won’t I gain weight?
This is a common misconception by people who have little information on dieting. The reason 5 meals are taken is to ensure our body was a steady supply of energy to keep us going. If 3 meals are taken, they are usually in bigger portions. We will tend to get sleepy and drowsy because of the sudden intake of large meals. The common feeling of being famish or greedy can be avoided also. How is the calculation for the meal intake? Take your typical meal and break into two parts. That’s how much we should eat. 6 are even better if you can find the time.

But, eating boiled food everyday will make meals so dull? Die lah like that, become zombie.
To overcome that, once a week just go crazy on what you like to eat. If you want to eat pizza hut for lunch and KFC for dinner is alright. Think of that day like a reward for our hard dieting routine. For 6 days, you focus on your diet, telling your self you can have that nice big ice cream or murtabak you always wanted to eat. This also helps keep us sane and not become zombie like. I had 2 or 3 buffets during my dieting process and I still lose weight.

What exercise we need to do? How often?
Well, it works for me 6 days a week because I only had 1 class to attend. I alternate between aerobics and weight lifting. Aerobics in my definition is jogging, running, play sports like squash, cycling or climbing a steep hill like Bukit Beruang. Anything that builds up a sweat makes us feel breathless after it is aerobics. When weight lifting, aim for high repetition but less weight as high metabolism is our aim, not muscle building (Bodybuilders might disagree but it works for me). Usually I end the day with 2 or 3 boiled egg whites with HL milk.

That’s all?
Need more info? Can PM me. But bare in mind I'm no more 83Kgs like I used to due to studies, trying to aim back to 85Kgs now.


PS: Sorry for the long post.... got crazy while writing about my diet plans hahahaha. Spelling errors are expected as I'm bad in spelling and misspelling them.

Of course it’s open to criticism. Cheers

My inspiration. Wide shoulders but small waist line.

A day still on independence day (49th)

When to gym to do two things.

1)Work out my chest , they start looking like Paus (Chinese steam buns) instead of slabs of meat
2)Check my weight, karate doing its job?
3)Check any girls in the vicinity (I'm single you know... must find oppurtunities 1)

Came back after about 15 mins, just did flat bench and some triceps. Shortly after I returned home, my room mate came back. The discussion as follows

Me:Guess what my fren, I went to the gym for 15 minutes haha
R: really..
R: who was there?
Me: i can feel the entusiastism ...
Me: har? all girls only
Me: was boring
R: really...
R: so nice..
Me: u actually believe that? then i might had mistakenly joined aerobics class
R: damn..
Me: come on..
R: talk to the hand man
Me: hahaha
Me: i expected u to take that with a pinch of salt
Me: u took the whole bag
R: hahahaha
R: nice one

He came in shortly and starting shouting because I played him out. No offends bro ;)

My independence celebration

There we were, 3 of us in the house. It was a rainy day. Our friend Vincent left to pure bar while the MachaValley guy was in KL. The time was 11:57pm. Before that jeremy came to the house and taught me some karate moves. What a lame way to prepare for Merdeka huh :P.

My senior from busan, korea said they celebrated an hour ago already. They when to the international hostel with 16 other M'sians. The Germans and Indians came and congragulated them. "It was a funny sight", he said.

12am

Boom!! Yaaa. Fireworks :D. What a way to lighten the mood. Unfortunately it was still raining. I wonder how they manage to light those thousand over fireworks of tax payers money. I could imagine the scenario
" Mr A: Shit!! Its still raining and the thread is wet. What do we do sir? Mr B: Get me some powder and a blowdryer ASAP!! We dont want to be an embarresment to the local Governor now can we? "

A few minutes later we when to JIKIS teman our fren Jason for dinner. He skipped his cause of some work he had at the local news agency. What we did there? Add sate, noodles and admiring a chinese girl front asset, which according to mr R, was defitenely a C size hahahaha.



When when home, catch a movie RV which certainly had a bad ass taste of protraying shit. Hell, they was even a while geeser of it, falling down on helpless Robin Williams. I must say,
Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque is very very hot looking girl at the age of 16. Don't believe me? Then feast your eyes on THIS.



Ok, she is a "bit" plum. What imagine her at 20's :P.

Damn I'm bad.

My first time

There she was, her body covered with trickles of water. So smooth was her body. My hand, expertly moved on its own. It went around her body, holding her and caressing her rounded curve body. My head soon bends over to taste her with a moment of hesitation. I thought to myself what I had actually done to come to this situation. A pretty hefty price of 1250 (The 50 was additional service charges) was paid to get her. My friend too had paid for his. My mouth was still closing in to her. I noticed a white foamy layer near her upper tip as my eyes leveled with her. Then I sucked in slowly, not knowing what to expect. And then, I knew I had reached heaven. Never had I tasted something so sweet as hers but still strong in essence…

Ah, and so i continued, slowly but surely, refusing to even leave my mouth from her. It was so smooth the fluid that I can’t just stop myself, stopping once in a while to lick of the layer of white foam . Soon I could see the bottom, feeling dissapointed then it ended all to early. I stopped sucking through the straw and left the cup on the table for the waiter to clean up.

A feeling of ecstasy that I will try to remember for as long as I can. I will miss you

In case you are still reading this, thanks for enduring that explicit description of me enjoying a cup of ice blended coffee, my first cup of beverage from any expensive coffee drink franchise. It was from the COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF SHOP. The drink was an Original Ice Blended Iced Coffee with caramel. My god, it was good. Hope you had a great laugh and enjoyed as much as I drank it! (Btw, the 1250 price mention was in cents, which makes it RM12.50)
