Diet.. diet

Dear Fattytini,

Since this is a weight management journal, I would suggest it should be open to non Herbalife user (example: Ummu Auni) to update her progress.

:)

Insya Allah, all 3 of us would be healthy and beautiful by end of this year

Dear Diary,
Do you know that one gram of fat/oil contains a whopping 9 calories? That's more than TWICE the calories in carbohydrate or protein. Just imagine how much oil needed to deep fry those yummy-licious juicy finger-licking fried chicken, coated with flour.

So, if you have been counting calories, and yet not losing much weight, try counting fat/oil instead.

It is not difficult to do so. All you have to do is limiting the intake of anything fried from your meal plan. As a hardcore fried chicken lover, believe me on this, been there done that.

Alhamdulillah, making small changes in your eating habit does make a different. Hey, I've lost 6 kg, haven't I?

But of course, Herbalife make it even simplier :wink:

Dear Diary,
Many of us would trade for a few extra minutes of sleep, or we may skip breakfast in the rush to get to work or send the kids to school. Or we would simply grab a cup of coffee and a sandwich, and call it a meal. But do we realise that we may be missing more than just breakfast when we do that?

Many studies have concluded the importance of breakfast, and health experts unanimously agree that breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day, and a good nutritious breakfast is the foundation of long, healthy and vibrant life.

Eating nutrient-packed breakfasts is the secret to healthy living.

My report card showing some improvement :-D I have been ignoring my Herbalife Shake since I went back to Johore for BIL's wedding last Saturday, and had just started drinking it yesterday. Alhamdulillah, the increasing oil and food price, making me a stingy Mrs. Scrooge, and thanks to Aida's advice to keep on drinking Teamix if you don't take HL Shake, I have managed to control my weight :-p

Need to shed more kilos for BIL's reception in Kelantan in August! Oh that reminds me, I need new clothes for the occasion :-p

Dear Fattytini,

It has been such a long silence from me. I just came back from Indonesia last 2 weeks.
Talking about holiday, it was not easy to stick to your Herbalife plan when you have to think about the baggage.. errr, I totally ignored Herbalife (it just slipped out of my mind that I should bring the shake :P)

Anyway, I didn't forget about my Teamix. I brought those during the holiday and religiously consumed it daily.

The best part, I came back from the holiday and I check my weight. It was still the same as before I went for my Indonesia trip.

So remember girls, you should bring your Teamix when you went for your vacation. It was nice to consume it after overdosing on foods (aahh, glorious food) :P

Anyway, here is my update:

Weight = 51.0 kg
Body Fat Range = 31.3% (Obese)
% Body Water Range = 50.3 %
Muscle Mass = 33.1 kg
Physique Rating = 5 (Standard)
BMR = 1072
Basal metabolic age = 32
Bone mass = 1.9 (should be 2.4 kg for 50-75 kg)
Visceral Fat = 4 (excellent)

Total achievement:

Lose weight = 1.7 kg
Lose % body fat = 2.6 %
Increase % body water = 1.9 %
Increase muscle mass = 0.2 kg
Lose basal metabolic age = 6 years

Dear Diary,
My apology for the long silence. I'm quite tight now. Anyway, just want to let you know that I have lost 5 kgs in total :-)

And, I'm really concerned with a friend who actually gained weight. Hope she's still motivated, and will not give up. Chaiyok chaiyok! You can do it!
