How to lose weight?

Patty SG

What is the best method to lose weight?
Or how to keep fit?

Any suggestions?

Mr. Green Question

Tough question. Laughing

Anyway for me, I'm losing weight again not intentionally but because of my diet. I'm eating less at dinner time, the most one bowl of rice. Probably because my other 2 meal times are screwed up. My mum is gonna kill me if she finds out.

I don't want to give the typical answers like exercise, of course that that works but who follows such a strict regime anyway? Laughing

I still follow the standard 3 meals a day. My recommendation is that you take 1 vitamin C tablet after breakfast and you'll be just hungry in time for lunch again. It works for me. My belief is that one can lose weight by still having 3 meals a day and not skipping it at all.

i dunno - i never needed to lose weight. i need the contrary - to gain weight! Mr. Green

anyway keeping fit basically means having a healthy diet (everydae) and exercising regularly.

Eat till you are NO LONGER HUNGRY, NOT till u are FULL.
And eat wisely... of coz, best to exercise

wuming78 SG

think this may not be tt easy to determine for some. Wink

instead, restrict urself to one serving, and o cos make sure the size of the serving is reasonable - as per normal, perhaps a little less, but certainly not more?

ditzy SG

For me, sometimes feel so hungry order so much then after the first serving, lim finish my teh, then realise:"Ohmygawd! I'm full!". Laughing

I used to exercise a lot.... swim 10 laps 3 times a week.
regular exercise keep me moving, more energetic!

I've stop for more than 2 years already... now trying to get back to it! Mr. Green

Patty SG

The main problem is..... how to control? Mr. Green

Patty SG

Ok, my method when eating out at kopitiam or hawker centre. Don't order cold drinks. Order hot drinks, teh, kopi, milo also can. I know afternoon very warm lah, but warm or control diet more important? Laughing Order your one serving first, though I know sometimes very hungry feel like can eat mee pok tah and small plate of chai tow kway, but order just the mee pok tah first. Finish it and drink finish ur drink. Confirm you feel like chai tow kway can order another time liao.

Patty SG

good idea... me always wanna order a few different dishes... but eat abit of everything, and fos is a small eater, he dosent eat much, so usually cant finish. Mr. Green
but now i have get use to drinking hot milo without sugar or milk.

Patty SG

actually... i used to be able to control for about a year and with regular exercise too!
But now..... its kind of like lazy..... Mr. Green

I think running is the best way to lose weight.
Running burn away alot of calories....

And if U run regularly and eat moderately shld be ok.. But then haiz.....it's hard to keep up a routine unless U R the determine type.

Run ......... ply sports ....dat require running mayb..

Else is to watch diet. But watching diet is not easy compare to sweat it out..duno y. At least i feel dat way.

Eh i think the drinks can control lah.....bring a bottle of plain water and go for lunch, so u no need to order drinks! Mr. Green Or otherwise if desperate for some flavoured drink, then go for the unsweetened drinks - kopi and teh KOSONG! or the best is the OO LONG CHA unsweetened from the can...wah dat one my favourite, but beri ex leh.... Or if not then the soya bean drink or chin chow ask for no sugar syrup.

Reduce sugar intake, sugar is a contributor to fat!!!

Patty SG

Yes.... be determin.... but my determination is gone!
I used to eat only veggie, no meat, fish only and very little rice, and swim 10 laps 3 times a week, and 100 sit up everyday...
but those days were gone...
its so difficult to tune it back now!

Today went swimming, 10 laps.... but now so tried!
think need time to get use to it! Wink

ditzy SG

Which brings us back to square one. Laughing

Patty SG

yes! agree..... ok me will try harder!
Mr. Green

hmmm i got it from Dr Phil McGraw weight loss solutions and he often says that in his show. Its all up to you, whether u are determined enough to control. You are what you eat.
