It’s been 2 months 6 days since I started my new year resolution, this year top of my list was loosing weight. I wasn’t looking to loose all my fat and standing all stick like but instead I wanted to tackle this problem from a healthier perspective, as a healthy being we aren’t suppose to be underweight or overweight but instead on the healthier more balance side, for this I had to first check my BMI result which proved I was a little on the heavy side.
So next what I did was to consult a doctor and a dietician (who isn’t fully qualified at the moment but will in a year time), from the doctor I realised that my family history and diet plan usually consist of a lot of deep fried food and cardiovascular disease and even liver cancer was among the dark spots in my family’s health history, next it was my turn to check my diet plan, I realised that sugar wasn’t really a necessity to me, I could go on for a month straight without any additional sugar fix [sweets – ice-cream- candy] and carbohydrate in my account is usually taken in very moderate amount, rice and white bread are occasional meals for me cause I’m a huge noodle and pasta fan. So with all this in mind I realised first hand that my biggest enemy was “FAST FOOD”.
How do I tackle this problem? for those who don’t know me, fast food is like my staple meal because its cheap – fast – and easy . These days fast food is no longer a snack or guilty pleasure instead it becomes my meal. So how do I prevent myself consuming it?
I start from my basic,
1) Make a dare with my friends [whom i spend 70% of my time with], if I’m caught eating fast food, they are rewarded RM 100.
2) Pick a diet that was suitable with my blood type which in this case was eating 5 proportional meals and not skipping any meal
3) Take the stairs; fact of the matter is, exercising isn’t only about going to the gym or stressing for an hour in a park but simple task like walking too could make up for it. So I quit using the lift and have been enjoying the company of the staircase.
I started all this almost 2 moths ago and the results were magnificent but not really at my target yet, I realised through my diet plan that different people cater to different diets and nobody can actually find 1 particular diet plan that is perfect for everyone. Thus far for me, simply substituting deep fried food with pan fry or boil or grill or baked has helped me.
I still have 3 weeks to reach my target and I am a little behind schedule.
Alls well will end well.
