Losing WEIGHT! - Tip 5

Let's continue losing weight with tip number 5!!!

I have gotten this tip from the latest Men's Health Magazine, the Singapore edition~

I was kinda shocked when I read about it!

So, I would love to share it with you guys! =)

Tip 5 - Eat more "sambal belacan" to burn more calories!!!

Hahaha.. It's kinda weird right? But, listen to this explanation!

 < It's because, our body temperature will increase when we eat something spicy and that is why, we can burn more calories when our body temperature is high! >

Besides! I have read about "benefits of spicy food" from wisegeek.com!

Indeed! It is true! Spicy food does increases metabolism! Helping to burn calories QUICKLY!

So, now I understand why some people sweat so much when they eat spicy food~

Thus, do eat more spicy foods to lose more weight! =)

I recommend you all... the DEADLY HOT & SPICY "CHILLI PADIsssss" !!! 

Have fun eating spicy foods and SWEAT it out!!! teee heee~ =)

P/S : Caution! DO NOT eat spicy foods too excessively though~ Or else, you will be exactly like the picture shown above! teee heeee~~~ =)

Losing WEIGHT! - Tip 4

I have gotten a new tip from Reader's Digest Magazine!!! Here is it~~~ =)


Tip 4 - Snooze your way to slimness!!!

I love this tip the most!!! =) Who can ever thought that we can lose weight even when we are SLEEPING???


According to the magazine, a study has found that those who have 5 hours' sleep a night are 50% more likely to be obese as than those getting 7-9 hours' sleep!

So, sleep more... and lose more!!! =)

Happy sleeping = happy losing~  hehehehe... =)

Losing WEIGHT! - Tip 3

After watching biggest loser today, I have gotten the THIRD tip!!! This tip is given by Gillian, the trainer!

Tip 3 - When you are walking or running on the treadmill, DO NOT HOLD the side rails (bars or grips) as it will decrease your calories loss by 20-30 %!!!

Thus, let go of the rails when you are on a treadmill to maximize your calories burning rate!!!
If you feel that you are about to fall off, just decrease the speed~ =)

So, enjoy yourself on the treadmill whenever you have the chance to be in the gym!

Losing WEIGHT! - Tip 2

Okay! so, let's continue losing weight with tip number 2!
I got this tip from Men's Health magazine~

Tip 2 - Eat your meals at a snail's pace!

*The suggested period of time to finish a meal is TWO HOURS!  Goshhhhhhh!!!*
 
I know it sounded kinda weird and tedious as I myself was shocked to, when I read about it...=.=

Who will take 2 hours to finish a meal??? It's really a waste of time and tedious especially when we are so busy with work, school, all kinds of chores and etc.... >.<

However, according to the magazine; a Dutch study finds that taking breaks as you eat may keep you fuller for a longer time.

Besides! according to zenhabits.net and fatlossschool.com, if you eat slower, you will end up consuming less calories!
*I guess this is because we will get tired of eating after eating for such a LONGGGGG time... hahaha*
 < That's just my opinion...teeeheee! >

Nevertheless, the real reason is that our brain takes about 20 minutes to register that we are full!

Furthermore, according to the 2 websites, they mentioned that we can actually lose 20 POUNDS a year! Without doing anything different or eating anything different!
*WOW!!! this is definitely a good news right? Losing weight without doing exercise, dieting or even starving!*

Thus, let's all try eating slower starting from now onwards~ hehehe... giving more time for our brain to register and tells us that we are FULL as well as losing as much as 20 POUNDS without doing anything! =)

P/S: No wonder my friend who eats VERY VERY SLOW is so darn skinny! Now I know his SECRET! =) Hopefully I can apply this tip...huhu...but frankly speaking, I would rather work out more! than eating slowly like a SNAIL! teehee...=) 
      

Losing WEIGHT! - Tip 1

I'm always interested in finding out tips for losing weight! Thus, I have decided to share them with you all! =) You guys can share some tips with me too if you all have any~ hehehe...

So, I'll start off today with tip number ONE~

Tip 1 - Drink milk rather than energy drink after exercising!

This is because milk helps to rehydrate and helps muscles growth~

P/S: I got this tip from Men's Health Magazine as well as from Bob, the trainer from Biggest Loser!
