I fasted for some weeks last month. Then there was also the re-arrangement work of the furniture. Which was a lot of work. (Luckily my sofas are modern sofas, so they are not as heavy as the antique furniture, but still lots of sweat involved). I was pretty excited that I’ve managed to lose at least 6 kgs in a few weeks. But just like dieting, I seem to be getting into the yo yo effect. I’ve gained back 3 kgs. 
I’d be considered lucky if I only gain back the 6 kgs that I’ve lost earlier and not more.
I am considering to fast once a week. With the hopes that I don’t gain more weight that I started off with.

When I went out today morning, I could see some of the trees have started to change colour. So… it really is autumn. I used to be very afraid of cold weather, due to my dry skin problem which I thought was eczema. I used to try from one eczema treatment to another to no avail. But since I’ve changed my diet a little, taken zinc supplements, the driness has diminished somehow. I still get them sometimes but manageable.
Living with dry skin problems, I can imagine how hard it is for those having to live with eczema. I even followed a discussion forum where eczema sufferers would exchange their views and experiences handling their daily lives. That’s when I realize how lucky I was and that my problem wasn’t half as bad as what some people go through. One thing I believe is not to give up in finding the right solution to your skin problems. And I’m glad after years and years, I finally have moisturized skin. Now my next challenge is to try to get rid of the scars.

I’ve known about the ‘drinking before meals for dieting’ secret for ages. Not that I found it out by myself but it is something that are passed from women to women. But I suppose it takes a group of experts to prove that is actually does work huh? 
Virginia scientists did the test on a group of people, and found out that dieters can lose 5lb or more if they drink two glasses of water three times a day before meals. Read more here.

Other than exercising, dieting and consuming weightloss supplements, one can also opt to fast as a way to lose weight quickly. Well, I must say that it isn’t the easiest way but it always work. For me at least. Some people fast by not eating nor drinkin for the entire day, only to break fast in the evening by eating light. Some fast with water, meaning, only drinking small amounts of water and nothing.
I found this interesting website at allaboutfasting.com. As its name suggests the website provides information about fasting which includes types of fasting methods, the benefits, people who can fast and so on. Really is an interesting read for anyone who are interested.

Someone I know just confessed that she is taking dietary supplement to lose weight. Out of desperation. She wants to lose weight badly. You see, she said it’s too hard to control her eating, and does not want to exercise the weight off. So her solution is to consume something to help eliminate the unwanted fat.
Even though I have never taken any diet pills to lose weight but I believe some may really work for some people. However, I still believe that those people who take weighloss products and lost weight did not rely on the pills 100%. They still would have to watch the amount of food they consume and exercise. You can take hoodia, alli or apidexin all you want but there isn’t a 100% easy way to lose weight. If there is, I sure would want to try it out too. 
So to that friend, I sure hope that she will do more than just swallow the diet pills everyday, and not to be dissappointed and lose some weight.

I know an 11 year old boy who weighs about 123 lbs. And that’s 9-11 lbs heavier than I. That is quite a lot considering that I am a lot taller than he and I’m nearly 19 years older than he. Currently, the parents are putting him into an exercise regime. 2-3 hours a session, 2-3 times a week. Any changes? Maybe too little to see. I could have sworn that he only seems bigger.
Well, the point is, no matter how one exercises, but if one eats the same food that one eats that made him or her fat – cola, fried fatty food, etc – without any restrictions what so ever, I don’t think losing weight would be possible. It’s not only about how much fat you can burn, but how much of calorie you put into your system counts too.
I suppose this is just common sense that many people would know of, but unfortunately there are people who never thought of it that way. I do pity the kid.

Do you have that skinny, slim friend that can eat what ever, how ever much he or she wants without even worrying about gaining 
weight? I hate people like that. Hah, just kidding… not hate but envy. They are just lucky to have been born with the ‘slim’ genes. I, and I’m sure many other people on this planet, isn’t as lucky. We would have to struggle with our weight after we had indulged ourselves with yummy, fatty, delicious food.
Today I read an interesting article regarding a study that shows how DNA may determine what is the best weight lost diet for individuals. Seems that those participants who went on a diet best for their genes, lose weight up to 3 more times more than the other participants. Read more of the article here.

Have you ever heard that the colour blue can actually surpress appetite? Well, I’m not sure of how true it can be but it all started by the belief of our ancestors had since million years ago. It is believed that most poisonous food are blue or dark in colour. So naturally we develop an instinct to avoid blue or dark coloured food.
Therefore someone came up with an idea of utilizing this ‘instinct’ to help food lovers to stay away from food and lose weight. How? Here are a few suggestions:
1. Change your refridgerator light bulb to blue, so that the blue light would make the food in the fridge look blue.
2. Serve your food on blue colour plates or bowls.
3. Cook your food with edible blue colouring to make it look blue.
4. Heh, here’s a weird one…. wear blue sunglasses at all times so every food you look at would look blue. LOL
So good luck in experimenting!
