Obesity Risks

2005-09-20T11:31:00.000+08:00

Obesity is not just a matter of being overweight. It is also hazardous to health. Obese patients are more prone to clinical complications such as hypertension, gout and the non-insulin dependent type of diabetes.This is particularly true in those patients whose body fat is mainly located in the trunk region (Apple-shaped obesity).

On the other hand, despite an increased accumulation of adipose tissue, some moderately overweight subjects do not show the classical complications of obesity. This is particularly true for females (mostly displaying a pear-shape of body fat distribution).

Some diseases are often associated with obesity. The most important disorders where obesity appears to play a role in precipitating (or aggravating) the disease are:

Gout,

Stable type of diabetes (now called NIDDM), non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus,

Rheumatism,

Arthritis,

High blood pressure

Atherosclerosis

Renal failure

Gallbladder disease

Coronary heart disease

Cerebral hemorrhage and,

Cancer

Be a Self-Motivator

2005-08-01T14:28:00.000+08:00

If you're trying to lose weight, you can be your own best motivator. "Self-monitoring" can help. This means you're observing and recording some part of your behavior, such as calorie intake, servings of fruits and vegetables, exercise sessions, medication use, etc., or the outcome of these behaviors, including changes in your weight.

Use self-monitoring techniques when you're not sure how you're doing, and when you want your behaviors to improve. This helps you change the behavior by producing "real-time" records that you and your health care provider can review. For example, keeping a record of your exercise can tell you how well you're doing. When your records show that you're exercising more, you'll be encouraged to keep it up. Some patients find that using specific self-monitoring forms make it easier, while others prefer to use their own recording system.

Get Motivated To Shape Up!

I can list dozens of reasons why you should work out, not one of which is more motivating than the way you see yourself every time you glance in the mirror. Lower cholesterol, reduced blood pressure, increased energy, and protection against many diseases are all valid reasons to begin a fitness program, but it's the bloated image in the mirror that will convince you that it's time to peel yourself off the couch and do something.

Luckily, exercise that gets you to lose weight and look great also helps rid your bloodstream of all those nasty fat and cholesterol supplies.

In addition, the right type of exercise will relax the walls of your arteries, reducing blood pressure, turning your heart into a super-efficient pump, thereby extending its lifespan; you can enhance the ability of your body to process insulin, stave off diabetes, build functional strength and endurance, provide extra energy, elevate mood, reduce stress, and -- I could go on and on (all by exercising).

Being out of shape and overweight is not just about appearance. Unhealthy trends that start early in life can progress to full blown medical problems. Any injury or illness can also paralyze your workout regimen, as an unhealthy, unfit body can't train like a conditioned individual's. The vicious cycle continues -- as pain or lack of energy can keep you on the sidelines.

But at any age or condition there's always a starting point, a place where exercise is not only doable, but safe and beneficial.

Anyone who has ever sprinted a lap around the track or performed a quality set in the gym knows that when exercise gets a little tough you have to make a decision. As lactic acid burns up on the insides of your muscle fibers, or you're too winded to speak, you need to decide whether to push forward with another rep or stop.

No matter how conditioned (or unconditioned) a person may be, success is achieved by almost hitting that line of intensity, but not beyond. Pushing past it involves unnecessary risk that could ultimately jeopardize your program in the long run.

Work to the level of burn or fatigue that's acceptable to you, and be guided by the following:

You should feel tired after exercise, but not totally drained. After an hour or so, you should have completely regained your energy levels, and be able to enjoy a good night's sleep. On the day following intense exercise, it's okay to feel a little muscle soreness, but it shouldn't be so extensive as to limit movement or give you a sense of overall fatigue.
Previously, I used the term "quality set." Intensity can only take a back seat to perfect form, which is the only way to perform quality exercise in general. From aerobics to yoga, go through each movement as it was designed, without cheating, following the guidelines of the discipline involved. Intensity is always best achieved while working within the limits of each exercise.

So where does all this leave you? First and foremost, get on a fitness plan that's flexible and can be molded to your lifestyle, goals, needs, etc. Within the parameters of that program, using a system of trial and error, find your "line of intensity" on every exercise. I suggest that at first you record what you're doing to help re-create the same, or slightly harder, conditions every session. The establishment of a workout journal can be an invaluable tool, especially at the beginning of your program.

If you're really out of shape, your initial program may simply be one of walking for five or 10 minutes on a daily basis. Eventually, you'll need to structure a program based on your goals, limitations, equipment, time, preferences, experience, and willingness to work hard. Success is then achieved by finding your "line of intensity" and pushing it regularly.

Remember to talk to your doctor before you get started.

The Perfect Workout?

Still wondering which workout works best? According to the experts at the American Physical Therapy Association, one could argue that it's walking! Luckily, walking is also one of the most available - and least expensive - workout options around! You can walk just about anytime, anywhere, with little equipment other than a pair of comfortable shoes. Still, there are some secrets to get walking on the right foot. The experts advise you to:

Get good shoes: Go to a shoe store and have new walking shoes professionally fitted. There are so many brands and models available - they can help you find the perfect fit for your unique feet!
Ease into it: Start slowly! Gradually increase your pace and distance until you reach your ultimate goal, rather than overdoing it and getting injured right from the start.
Pace: Shoot for a pace that allows you to carry on a conversation without being winded. If you can't chat, you're going too fast!
Pay attention to form: If you find yourself getting sore after your walks, it may be your gait. If it continues, talk to your doctor or a physical therapist about how to correct it.
Stay hydrated: Aim to drink at least 8 to 12 ounces of water every 30 minutes while walking.

Formula for Diet Success

Figure out a food's ranking before letting it pass your lips.

by Gloria McVeigh

How's this for a simple diet plan: Stick to foods that fill you up but have the fewest calories, and you'll lose weight. That's the theory behind The Volumetrics Eating Plan by Barbara Rolls, PhD, RD, a professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University.

She developed a formula to help you quickly spot the least calorie-dense foods: Choose foods that score less than 1 most of the time, choose those that score 2 occasionally, and minimize those that score 3.

Where Does Your Food Fall?

ANYTIME:

Calorie Density:Low:Score 1:

Fruits and vegetables

SOMETIMES:

Calorie Density:Medium:Score 2:

Grain-rice,pasta,bread,legumes,cereal
Fish,chicken

RARELY:

Calorie Density:High:Score 3

Beef, ice cream, french fries
Berkari, bersantan, bergoreng, bergula

The 30-Minute Rule

A well-rounded beginning exercise routine will include at least 20 minutes of aerobic activity plus 10 minutes of stretching most days - a mere 30 minutes total. Such a routine will allow you to acclimate to physical activity while improving blood chemistry and burning calories. When combined with a healthy eating plan, a regular dose of daily exercise goes a long way toward helping you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

If you can't set aside 30 consecutive minutes each day, try breaking up your workouts into three 10-minute or two 15-minute sessions. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that exercise does not need to be consecutive to be beneficial.

In January 2005, the federal government released new dietary guidelines that call for a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day to maintain health and 60 to 90 minutes for weight loss. Do you really need one hour of exercise most days to see results? Thirty minutes will help with weight loss and weight maintenance over the long term." That's not to say that more isn't better, but those who are just getting started need to set goals they can meet without feeling overwhelmed. Ultimately some exercise is better than none at all.

Give or Take 150 Calories

Consuming 150 calories a day more than you burn can lead to a gain of 5 pounds in six months, or 10 pounds in a year. To prevent that from happening, you can either reduce the energy you put into your body or increase the energy you put out during physical activity. Doing both is a great idea.

Two easy ways to reduce energy intake by 150 calories:

Drink water instead of a 12-ounce regular soda/teh ais/teh tarik.
Downsize a medium order of French fries to a small, or substitute a salad.
Nasi putih instead of nasi lemak.-Mee/bihun/kuew teow soup instead of the goreng version.
Laksa asam instead of curry laksa.
Tosai /chapati/idli i instead of roti canai.

Two easy ways to increase energy output by 150 calories*:

Shoot hoops for 30 minutes.
Walk 2 miles in 30 minutes.

How much cardiovascular exercise should I do if I am just beginning to become active?

Moderation is the key when starting an exercise program. Strive for 20-30 minutes three times per week.

When you can comfortably complete that prescription, increase your time. Continue to increase your time up to a maximum of 60 minutes. When you can comfortably engage in 60 minutes of cardio, you can add a fourth session each week. Start out with a shorter session and build up from there.When you've built up your time to 60 minutes, you can then focus on increasing the intensity so that you work a little harder within each session.

Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah - June 30, 1977

2005-06-30T19:11:00.000+08:00

I received this email from my ex-teacher. Even though the content of this email is not related to our wellness program but, it is very important to our spiritual wellness.

Dear Alumni,

Not many people know that today in 1977 was born a new Muslim. He was given the name Sharifuddin. Well today I celebrate 28 years as aMuslim although I do not claim to be a model one. However, I am thankful to Allah swt for showing me the correct / true path.

It was not easy even from the beginning. I remember going to the Pejabat Kadi's office in Johor that year. The Pegawai Ehwal Agama interviewed me and it was rather more like an interogation. He congratulated me and then went on to ask me questions like:

"You want to become a muslim because you want to get married?" "No", I answered.

"Do you want to be a muslim because you want a job?" "No", I answered.

"You want to apply for a piece of land?" Again "No".

And he went on and on in a similar tone. I looked back at the two men who had accompanied me to the pejabat kadi and they shrugged their shoulders.

So I then interrupted the pegawai "Sir may I say something?" He said "Yes" and I just had to speak my mind. I told him that I was "lebih yakin dalam agama ini daripada tuan" I think he wasn't very happy with what I said but he accepted my application to become a muslim brother.

My problems had just started. For four years I kept going back to thepejabat to get my Muslim ID and each time I went the response was always the same "Belum siap. Datang minggu depan" By that time I was already in Kulim and I had to incur expenses going back to Johor to ask for my ID and each time I met with the same response. In 1981 whenI went back to that office there was a new officer there and when I asked him for my ID, he was surprised and asked me when I had converted because he had never seen me at the pejabat. When I told him, that I had converted four years back, he was shocked and when he went to look for my application in the files, my application forms and photos were in a file and nothing had been done since the first day I stepped into that office. The new officer immediately processed my ID and it took him less than an hour to do something that I had waited for for four years.

I was strong in my resolve and my faith never wavered, but I shudder to to think how many potential brothers may have been driven away from their true paths by such people. May Allah forgive him.There have been many tests since then but let me tell you that if you keep faith with Him, you will never go wrong. So friends today please say a prayer of thanks for me and for all true muslims.

Good life

Rev Up Your Metabolism!

Want to give your metabolism a boost? While a pill or potion won't do it, there are ways to increase your body's calorie burn-rate! To keep your metabolism at top speed, use these tips from researchers at Moses Taylor Hospital in Pennsylvania:

Don't skip meals or snacks, especially breakfast - you'll activate your body's starvation response and actually slow your metabolic rate! Small meals throughout the day keep your furnace burning at a steady pace.

Go aerobic - choose a routine with enough intensity to make a difference! Walking, biking, cross-country skiing, swimming, and step aerobics are all good choices.

Exercise for at least 30 minutes - after a half-hour, your body starts tapping into stored energy (a.k.a. fat) to keep moving!

Shake it up - change your workout every six weeks. Your body will have to work harder to adapt to a new routine!Avoid smoking - it keeps your body from burning belly fat!

Beyond Weight Loss

Exercise isn't just about losing weight. It can have other important benefits for your family. Remember, you don't have to be an athlete to get healthy. Just try to stay active for 30 minutes a day. You do not have to do 30 solid minutes of activity without stopping. You can take a 10-minute walk during your lunch break. Then, take another 10-minute walk with your kids after work. Then dance to the rhythm of your favorite music for 10 more minutes while dinner is cooking. Just so it adds up to 30 minutes each day. Here are some other benefits of physical activity:

stronger heart and lungs
better appetite control
lower blood pressure
lower blood cholesterol
better sleep-reduced stress
increased energy

Eight Tips for Effective Weight-Training

You don't have to be a bodybuilder to experience the benefits of weight training. By lifting weights for a mere 10 minutes a day, two to three days a week, you can increase your metabolism, improve your posture, gain strength, prevent osteoporosis, and relieve stress. Plus, muscle continues to burn calories long after you've left the gym.

Below are eight tips to help you achieve the most from your weight training session:

Every muscle has an opposing muscle - make sure you work both to insure a balanced tone.
Try not to lock your joints or overextend the muscles. If using free weights, remember to protect your back by bending your knees.
Challenge your muscles by trying different weight training exercises from time to time.
Adopt a slow and steady pace - it's not a race.
If you don't feel it, you're not working hard enough. Try lifting heavier weights or performing more repetitions.
Both quantity and quality matter. Do at least 8 to 15 repetitions of each move.
Before you try any gym equipment, ask someone to show you how to use it. Most gym-related injuries stem from improper equipment use.
A little is better than nothing. Do what you can at first, and then work up to more.

The Cholesterol Culprits

Your body makes all the cholesterol you need to keep you healthy. When you eat foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol, your body can make too much cholesterol. Over time, this extra cholesterol can clog your arteries. This raises your risk for having a heart attack.

But what types of fat raise your blood cholesterol the most? Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol the most. It is found mainly in foods that come from animals such as:

whole milk, butter, cream, and high-fat cheeses
Animal shortening , minyak sapi (asainya dari susu)
Fatty meats such as ribs, hot dogs, sausage, burgers
Egg yolks
Organ meats such as liver, brain, kidney

Don't Abuse Cardio
By Michael Stefano

Whenever I discuss this issue, I'm reminded of Mary, the overweight aerobics instructor. She led four or five, foot thumping, heart pounding classes every day, and her students could barely keep up.

So why is Mary fat?

For most of us, cardiovascular, or aerobic exercise, usually has one main goal: elevate heart and breathing to a level where fat is burned as the body's primary fuel, and at the fastest possible rate. To this end, it's a smart idea to incorporate at least a moderate amount of cardio into your weekly workout regimen.

But it's not the actual activity (jogging, swimming, stepping) where most of the benefits are gleamed. As a matter of fact, jogging for a half an hour barely burns off one doughnut.

Define Aerobic Exercise

When you exercise aerobically, you train your muscle cells to burn fat all day, every day. The production of certain fat-burning enzymes is greatly enhanced, thereby expanding the benefits of aerobic exercise to 24 hours a day. Again I ask, "Why is Mary fat?"

Let's look at what it means to "train aerobically." In other words, what defines aerobic exercise, and compare it to what Mary is putting her body through.

Exercise physiologists measure cardiovascular exercise with heart rate. Numerous formulas exist for calculating your optimum fat-burning heart-rate zone. But, for the purposes of this article, we'll call it 60 to 80 percent of maximum heart rate capacity.

Maximum heart rate also needs to be defined, as it differs with every individual. For the sake of safety, apply the formula of (220 minus age) to determine your estimated heart rate max.

(220 - 40 = 180)

Forty-year-old Mary has an estimated max heart rate of 180 beats per minute. With a few simple calculations we determine Mary's fat burning zone to be between 108 (60 percent) and 144 (80 percent) beats per minute.

Every day, Mary leads her loyal students, but her heart rate never breaks 95. For Mary, the classes cease to be an aerobic event.

Sure she's burning some extra calories at the moment, but we've already determined that the greatest impact on weight loss is achieved through the ability of the body to adapt to these repeated cardiovascular demands and increase its capacity to use fat as fuel.

The same situation befalls many faithful proponents of cardio. An initial weight loss of a few pounds barely seems worth the countless hours spent on the treadmill or exercise bike. It's obvious that an adjustment needs to be made with this approach.

Short and Sweat

Keep it short and keep sweating. A moderate amount of cardio (as low as 15 to 25 minutes), performed anywhere from two to five times per week, and at the correct heart rate, will prevent any cardio routine from becoming a stroll in the park.

The reduction in time and energy expended enables you to devote some extra effort to your resistance training. A moderate amount of resistance, or strength training, when married up with your cardio program will greatly enhance the overall effectiveness and impact on your body.

Short Circuit Your Workout

Circuit training delivers the benefits of both cardiovascular and resistance training in one workout. By simply sequencing exercises with a short rest between sets (one minute or less), as well as priming the pump with five or 10 minutes of traditional cardio (a quick warm-up stint on the stationary bike or treadmill works nicely), you can get a two-for-one effect.

Doing so will add some lean muscle mass, increase overall metabolism, and change the shape of your body, not just burn fat.Remember, traditional cardiovascular exercise needs to remain challenging to sustain its effect. Measuring heart rate is one way of ensuring adequate intensity exists, and exercise continues to be effective. Also be sure to combine your aerobic exercise with some strength training, the true leader in full body conditioning. Circuit training, a great time and energy saver, is the perfect combination of both modes of exercise.

Reasons to Move

Regular physical activity gives you more energy, reduces stress, and helps you to sleep better. It helps to lower high blood pressure and improves blood cholesterol levels. Physical activity helps to tone your muscles, burns off calories to help you lose extra pounds or stay at your desirable weight, and helps control your appetite. It can also increase muscle strength, help your heart and lungs work more efficiently, and let you enjoy your life more fully.

Low-intensity activities - if performed daily - can have some long-term health benefits and can lower your risk of heart disease. Regular, brisk, and sustained exercise for at least 30 minutes, three to four times a week, such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming, is necessary to improve the efficiency of your heart and lungs and burn off extra calories. These activities are called aerobic - meaning the body uses oxygen to produce the energy needed for the activity. Other activities, depending on the type, may give you other benefits, such as increased flexibility or muscle strength.

Smoking and Diabetes:

A Deadly CombinationSmoking is clearly connected to developing vascular (heart and blood vessel) disease. When you smoke, the combustion products of tobacco are absorbed in the bloodstream. These chemicals stimulate the release of other chemicals, which injure the blood vessels and encourage thickening and hardening of the arteries. Smoking also causes your blood vessels to constrict or clamp down, which limits the amount of blood that can circulate.

Smoking and diabetes are a deadly combination for the vascular system. Fortunately, there are many new medications and good programs to help people quit smoking. If you smoke and you're ready to quit, ask your health care provider to refer you to one of these programs to help you do it.

The Myth Of Fat Burning

You've probably heard it before: "You have to exercise at a lower intensity to burn more fat... to get in the "fat-burning zone." Guess what, it's a myth!

Here's how it got started. Your body is always "burning" a mixture of carbohydrates and fat for fuel. This mixture tends to contain a little more fat during lower intensity exercise. Somebody took this to mean that a lower intensity workout was best for losing weight... not so!

It all comes from the same "pot." It doesn't matter if you're burning a little more fat or a little more carbohydrate at any particular time in your fuel mix. It all comes from the same calorie pool. The bottom line is, how many calories are you burning.

Moderate intensity exercise actually burns more calories in a given time period. For example, you may burn 200 calories during a 30 minute low intensity exercise session and 300 calories during a 30 minute moderate intensity exercise session. Bottom line... burning more calories is better for weight loss.

Moderate intensity exercise increases your basal metabolic rate (BMR) more than lower intensity exercise. This means that you'll burn more calories 24 hours-a-day.

Here's the one I like! Moderate intensity exercise gives you a better high! You know, the exercise high you get when your body releases endorphins and adrenaline. This can really elevate your mood and is great for people who are depressed.

So, how can you know how intense your exercise is? Your heart rate is your body's "speedometer" and an excellent gauge of exercise intensity.

Here's how to calculate your target heart rate range for moderate to high intensity exercise:

The most accurate way to determine what your heart rate range should be while your exercising is to use the Karvonen equation, First, determine your theoretical max heart rate (Max HR) by subtracting your age from 220.

Next, determine your resting heart rate (Rest HR) by measuring it first thing in the morning in a seated, resting position. Then, determine the lower end and upper end of your target heart rate range:

(Max HR - Rest HR) X .50 + Rest HR = lower end

(Max HR - Rest HR) X .80 + Rest HR = upper end

For example, if you are 40 years old with a resting heart rate of 60:

Lower end of range220 - 40 = 180 (Max HR)

(180 - 60) X .5 + 60 = 120 lower end of range

Upper end of range220 - 40 = 180 (Max HR)

(180 - 60) X .8 + 60 = 156 (upper end of range)

So, in this example, your "aerobic training zone" or "target heart rate range" would be 120 to 156 beats per minute. That means that for the majority of your exercise session, your goal should be to maintain your heart rate within that range. If you are just starting your exercise program, you should be at the lower end of the range.

As you become more conditioned, you can move up in the range.This will help you get the most benefit from the exercise you do.

Haaa.....ingat walaupon hangpa just exercise 30 minutes per day, tapi kalu hangpa exercise in 'the zone'...the FAT BURNING process will last sampai 24 hours after hangpa stop exercising....Tu dia....SO....masa dok exercise tu....calculate your heart rate....kira untok 6 secs cukop laaa...paih tu kali laa dgn 10....tak payah buat tiap2 kali exercise......sekali dah cukop dan bacaan itu jadikan yourguideline....

Keep It Moderate

When it comes to exercise, the important thing is to find something you enjoy, and do it safely. And remember - trying too hard at first can lead to injury and cause you to give up (Yaaaa...tersangatlah BETOI). If you have a chronic health problem or a family history of heart disease at an early age, be sure to talk with your doctor before launching a new physical activity program. Here are some examples of activities that count as moderate exercise:

Brisk walking (3 to 4 miles per hour)
Home care and general cleaning
Home repair, such as painting
Mowing the lawn (with power mower)
GardeningDancingRacket sports, such as table tennis
Golf (walking the course)
Fishing (standing and casting, walking, or wading)
Swimming (with moderate effort)
Cycling (at a moderate speed of 10 miles per hour or less)
Canoeing or rowing (at a speed of about 2 to 3.9 miles per hour)

Tunggu apa lagi??? Get moving...Ingat..'sikit2, lama2, longgaq'.

Shahidan...semlm nasik ayammmm...aku ngammmm...gerammmm...pagi tadi...brisk walk aku buat sampai 1 jammmm.......Eh...kalu kerajaan nak perangi dadah dgn slogan '6 JAHANAM'....kita kat Akademi Gendut pon kena ada 6 JAHANAM jugak laaa......pikiaq mai tengok dan listkan...the jahanammmsss.....Aku start dgn 1.GARAM

Trim, But in TroubleExercise is an important part of the heart health equation.You may be able to fit into your high school hip-huggers, but if you don'texercise, your risk for a heart-threatening syndrome could be sky-high,suggests a surprising study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

When nutritionists checked the medical charts of 7,602 people, theydiscovered those at the upper end of normal weight or just above (a bodymass index of 25 to 27) were three to seven times more likely than thinnerpeople to develop a newly established condition, metabolic syndrome.

It's defined by having at least three of the following: low "good" HDLcholesterol (less than 50 for women, 40 for men); triglycerides over 150; awaist over 35 inches for women, 38 for men; and high blood sugar or bloodpressure (above 130/85). The condition hampers cells' ability to absorbblood sugar, raising risk of heart attack, diabetes, even cancer. "A likelyreason people have it is a lack of exercise," says lead researcherMarie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD. "Genetics and diet may also play a role."

Haaaa....dengaq tu...exercise is the key....Nan....nasik kandaq tu bulehmakan....sapa kata tak buleh? Control your portion saja....Makansiang2...jangan makan malam....kalu buleh makan masa lunch.....supaya, bythe end of the day, semua 'extra' calories tu dah dibakaq....

Hak tang part exercise tu, bukan kena exercise sampai nak bernyawa ponpayah....tak payah....Take a brisk walk lepaih suboh (ni kena la bangun awaisikit for suboh, baguih apa, dan pi berjemaah kat surau kat taman perumahanhangpa tu)....for about 30 mins and another one (kalu ada masa laaa), anhour before tidoq. Reason dia lagu ni....morning walk lepaih suboh, the fatburnt adalah all the stored fat dalam badan pasai kita tak makan apa2 lagiwaktu tu, tapi jgn lupa minum ayaq. Exercising before tidoq, to burn all thecalories yang terkumpoi that very day plus stored fat. Plus point dia....atrimmer you in a month's time. Apa, tak percaya??? Cuba tengok! Aku challenge hangpa!

Yang tak berapa 'fit' and kena lose 'berkilo2' tu, ingat, keep doing itwalaupon tak nampak results lagi. By the 6th week....insyaALLAH, seluaq akanlonggaq....muka akan cengkung dan berseri2 and nampak cerah pasai blood flowto your face is improving. Lazimnya, by the 3rd month, around minggu ke10-12, hangpa kena change the routine....Ini kerana, by this time, body kitadah adapt to the routine and weight loss kita will hit a plateau. Hangpaeither prolong the walking session to 45 mins...or start a new exercise alltogether umpamyanya, stationary bike, step master, elliptical machine andbelieve it or not, to expedite your weight loss, take up weight lifting...atleast 2x seminggu, 20-30 mins a session. Masa ni laa, kalu nak hit the gym!

Today is my 10th day w/o refined carbo....the truth, energy wise ok sesangat....to keep dizziness at bay, every 2 hours kena makan a piece offruit(baguih la pasai buahkan loaded with fiber and vitamin)....angin @gastric@ digestive problem tak dak langsong....pasai banyak makansayoq...bila fiber dah banyak, perut dok bz bekerja...aku rasa tu yang takdak excess acid tu...weight loss wise...tak berani nak timbang pasai muluttak henti2 menguyah esp all the fruits tu....TAPI...seluaq dah longgaq kaw2:-) Confession time, mmg terlioq tengok nasik. Apa lagi, aku ni kan masakuntok anak2 and laki....tapi bila teringat nasik masuk saja blood system,teruih trigger pancreas to release insulin into the blood....teruih tak mau.I am trying my very best to avoid getting diabetes...pasai aku dah tengokkawan2 yang lain kena....Adoi laa..And the complications diabetes can do toyour body....well...berapa kali mau cakap! Hangpa sendiri pon taukan???'Sendiri makan pengat, sendiri mau ingat'....

Root Out the Problem Foods

When it comes to dangerous fat and cholesterol, it's hard to know whichfoods contain what. Here's a guide to help you get started:

High amounts of saturated fat are found in animal products, such as fattycuts of meat, chicken skin, and full-fat dairy products like butter, wholemilk, cream, and cheese. It's also found in tropical vegetable oils such aspalm, palm kernel, and coconut oil.

Trans fats are found in some of the same foods as saturated fat, such asvegetable shortening, some margarines (especially hard or stick margarine),crackers, cookies, baked goods, fried foods, salad dressings, and otherprocessed foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

Small amounts of trans fat also occur naturally in some animal products,such as milk products, beef, and lamb.Foods high in cholesterol include liver, other organ meats, egg yolks,shrimp, and full-fat dairy products.Nasihat aku satu saja.......sendiri makan pengat, sendiri mau ingat....
