Onlookers,
In the anticipation of contemplating my post-exam weight-reduction regime, this tip (courtesy from Men's Health Magazine) might be useful coz i think these are the very same mistakes that i personally did, and is currently doing still...:(
1. Skipping Meals/Snacks
- Reason : brain activity is needed to regulate yourself and skipping meal deprive glucose for brain to work.
- Action : Spread Calories between 3 meals of 500kCal, and 2 snacks of 100kCal. dont restrict yourself from eating, merely change your eating regime.
2. Speed Eating
- Reason : need to allow some time, so that you dont keep eating when youre full
- Action : Slow down, eat like a Frenchmen...
3. Weekend Feast
- Reason : Palmitic acid in saturated fat can inhibit leptin, a hormone that regulate appetite. Effect of pigging from friday - sunday can have effect till Monday
- Action : Have only one cheat day and not the whole weekend coz you'll be leptin deficient for the following few days...
4. Gorging on Salty Snacks
- Reason : Sodium causes us to eat unconsciously
- Action : goodbye Mr Potato, goodbye popcorn :((
5. Alcohol Drinking
- Reason : lots of calories in beer, and booze undermines your willpower
- Action : None needed coz im a teetotaler :)
6. Eating in front of the tv, and then dozing off
- Reason : You ingest calories but burning none
- Action : I dont watch tv too much, so i guess its not much of a problem
And so, I'm settled with 2 of 4 tips...so which one should i attack next?
And to add exercise in the program...either gymming, jogging, or wii exercise? Which one is more alluring?
I have 2 months left to decide ;)
