I saw this article on FB and it strikes me to post something here. Yes. Belly Fats. I am sure many out there are facing the same problem too. For BTB, I am sure we want to get rid of these extra baggage fast before the fitting day right. Hmm...let's see

1) Reduce Sugar - This is a bit tough but it is still possible. I have been avoiding it as much as I can. Less Carbonated drinks. Coke is a No No! and yes..It's sugar that makes us fat..not Fats! If you know what I mean. Teh Tarik have been my favourite..( Energy Booster tao) but eversince I wanted to lose weight..I have been avoiding it as much as I can. I think I only like have it occasionally when I have the urge. Maybe 2-3 cups a month. Power kan! haha.

2) Consume Healthy Fats - Ok..so what is healthy fats??? Haha..I have absolutely no idea soo...I google. Google is the best tool! So this is what I found. So now I need to adjust my diet .

Fats are being categorised into 4 types.

• monounsaturated fats
• polyunsaturated fats
• saturated fats
• trans fats

Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as the “good fats” because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health.

GOOD FATS
Monounsaturated fat	Polyunsaturated fat
Olive oil Canola oil Sunflower oil Peanut oil Sesame oil Avocados Olives Nuts (almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews) Peanut butter	Soybean oil Corn oil Safflower oil Walnuts Sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds Flaxseed Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines) Soymilk Tofu

BAD FATS
Saturated fat	Trans fat
High-fat cuts of meat (beef, lamb, pork) Chicken with the skin Whole-fat dairy products (milk and cream) Butter Cheese Ice cream Palm and coconut oil Lard	Commercially-baked pastries, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, pizza dough Packaged snack foods (crackers, microwave popcorn, chips) Stick margarine Vegetable shortening Fried foods (French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, breaded fish) Candy bars

3. No white Carbs - It says it all..Any Carbo which is white. Avoid it & exchange it for whole -grain.
    Maybe Exchange White Rice with Brown Rice. White Bread with Whole Grain Bread.

4.  2 - 3 L of Water Daily - Wah this is tough! I know water is essential to us and we need to drink enough water. But I'm the type who is so difficult to drink water lor!!

5. Manage Stress - Hmm...Maybe at this moment, my stress level is low.Wait till I start preparing for the wedding. Hee!!!

6. Increase veggies Intake - I guess I have no problem with greenies :) I can just choose those I like and increase the intake.

7. Eat Lean Proteins - I think I am ok with this. I am not a beef lover, so I normally eat chicken or fish. In any case, if you may not know what are Lean Proteins. Well i can say, fish is the healthiest lean protein. Chicken without the skin. Eggs without the yolks.Low Fat Dairies.

8. Move Your Body - It simply means. Exercise. Yes I do..so no worries for me..just need to force the lazy bum to go for a jog or work out..haha

9. Fresh lemon in warm water - Hmm..I did this before but have not done it since. Maybe I need to start doing this regularly

10. Love the body you have to while you work to the body you want - Agree. Nothing more I have to say.

:)
