Some interesting facts drawn from the article:<br />
<br />
From figures obtained from the article:<br />
In 1996, only 5% of malaysians were obese<br />
By 2006, 14% were obese<br />
By 2012, 15% were obese in a country of 28 million people.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
And in measuring obesity, their Straits Time article defined it as having a body mass index of above 25.<br />
<br />
Other figures from the article:<br />
Almost 50% of adult Malaysians are overweight or obese<br />
About 20% of Malaysians over the age of 30 have diabetes up from 14% in 2006<br />
Another 33% above the age of 30 have high blood pressure.<br />
Three in Four Malaysians do little or no exercise<br />
<br />
AND the Fitness Industry had been expanding in Malaysia<br />
Fitness First have 12 branches with 60,000 members<br />
True Fitness have 5 branches with 30,000 members<br />
<br />
So what are the corresponding figures in Singapore?<br />
<br />
From <a href="http://www.moh.gov.sg/content/moh_web/home/statistics/Health_Facts_Singapore/Disease_Burden.html" target="_blank">Ministry of Health</a> (Singapore) for adults (aged 18 to 69 years old):<br />
Obesity rates (do bear in mind data uses BMI>30): 6% (1998) -> 6.9% (2004) -> 10.8% (2010)<br />
Hyprtension rates (> 140/90mmHg): 27.3% (1998) -> 24.9% (2004), 23.5% (2010)<br />
Diabetes rates : 9% (1998), 8.2% (2004), 11.3% (2010)<br />
<br />
For obesity on school children, you will need to visit <a href="http://www.singstat.gov.sg/pubn/reference/yos.html" target="_blank">Department of Statistics</a>:<br />
For primary 1 male school children the average obesity rate (2008 - 2011) is around 12%<br />
For primary 5 male school children the average obesity rate (2008 - 2011) is around 18%<br />
For primary 1 female school children the average obesity rate (2008 - 2011) is around 11%<br />
For primary 5 female school children the average obesity rate (2008 - 2011) is around 12%<br />
<br />
Are the figures for Singapore and Malaysia comparable? This is real hard to say. Why? Although both uses BMI as an indication, the Straits Times article uses BMI >25 as a yardstick for obesity. While Ministry of Health article uses BMI > 30 for obesity.<br />
<br />
And whats more<a href="http://www.hpb.gov.sg/HOPPortal/health-article/HPB-039406" target="_blank"> Singpore Health Promotion</a> board provides the BMI classification as follows:<br />
<br />
BMI (18.5% - 22.9%) - Low Risk (Healthy or Normal Weight)<br />
BMI (23% - 27. 4%) - Moderate Risk (Overweight)<br />
BMI (27.5%) - High Risk (Obese)<br />
<br />
This is inline with the guideline issued by the Malaysian Academy for the Study of obesity. The cuts-off are lower than the WHO classification, which classified overweight and obesity at cut-offs of 25 and 30. This is because evidence from many Asian countries show that Asians develop diseases at lower BMIS. We also tend to have a higher body fat percent at similar BMI, compared with Caucasian/European population.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For friends who read my earlier posts, the exercise I only
performed in my first 2 months of weight loss is actually walking, starting
from slow walking for only 10-15min to brisk walking for sometimes up to 1.5 –
2hrs. I am really glad I did not start with jogging or even did my work-out in
the gym. This is the reason why.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fat Burning During
Exercise<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To burn fat and lose weight, aerobic exercise is preferred.
However, it must not be high intensity. The reason being – when you exercise
too hard or become breathless during exercise, the energy, which facilitate
your movement, is drawn from </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">glycogen</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
in your liver and muscles, not your fat stores.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the first 20min of exercise, the body burns sugar from
the glycogen stores. The next 10min it is a mixture of sugar and fats. Only after
30min does the body burns proportionately more fat (50% from fat).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hence if your objective is fat burning, you
should exercise not hard but long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">More than 90% of our population do not exercise regularly,
that is why obesity is a growing concern around the world. Studies have shown
that the minimal aerobic threshold to shed fat demands continuous movements of
at least 30min carried out at least 3 times a week. If you intend to lose fat
but ‘could not afford’ the time, or is thinking 1 day a week in the gym is
enough, you must<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>be kidding yourself.
Even if you are exercising high intensity for 1 hr but with 20min break in
between, the greater fat-burning effect will not kick-in, as the process will
be reverted to burning sugar rather than fats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Time<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To start exercising is tough, to start out the wrong way is
even tougher. You may be overweight and have been going to aerobic classes in the
gym or jogging in the park, panting like mad. It is time to try out something
that is effective for many. Many instructors have a formula that advocate
havimg a training heart-rate of 60-70% of the maximal heart rate (220 minus
your age). However at that kind of rate, the unfit majority will reach their
anaerobic threshold, and the body will burn mostly protein and sugar. The
optimal intensity of exercise for fat burning is far lower at 50-60% of your
maximal heart rate. It could even be a little lower if you are obese and just
starting on your exercise regime after many years of sedentary lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What exercise to do?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If the exercise I did is brisk walking for 2 months and
losing more than 20% of my weight, and if many people also achieved weight and
fat loss (but perhaps not as much as me) through brisk walking, it might be a
good idea for you to do it. In my earlier </span><a href="http://lengguanho.blogspot.sg/2012/07/exercise-for-weight-loss.html"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">posting</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">,
I mentioned where and when I do my walking – at my convenience. You could do it
near your workplace, where you stay, a park near you, just anywhere you like.
It will be no harm to you, at no cost to you and will only benefit you, not me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Initially you can start by 10-15min, three times a week, and
then build up to 45min more intense brisk walking at least 3 times a week. Once
you reached that stage, I am sure with the effects on you, and the energy you
actually get after exercising, automatically you will progress to daily
brisk-walks at even longer period of time. Of course that is when your own time
permits. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps you have started doing
exercise after your work hours, but at some point in time, you may see yourself
switching to early morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But just
bear in mind, your fats do not just appear magically overnight, it is stored
gradually over the weeks, months, years. Similarly, your exercise intensity and
duration should be a gradual build-up. Progressing too rapidly will result in
fatigue, muscle soreness, increased cardiac risk and becoming a de-motivator. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">To add a variety to my current exercise regime, I
went for two swims this week, something which I didn’t do for more than 10
years.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In my younger days, though I learnt both the crawl
and the breaststroke, almost 100% of the time when I swam, I only used
breaststroke. Why? Because this is something which I can do effortlessly while
doing multiple laps and without tiring myself out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />

strokes, breaststroke is the slowest, but it does not mean that as a causal
swimmer, you won’t be able to maintain or even overtake other swimmers using
other strokes.</span><br />

<strong>What is the breaststroke technique?<o:p></o:p></strong></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Every swimmer knows
the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaststroke">breaststroke technique</a>,
consisting of your arm and leg movements, performing the glide and coordination
of your breathing.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Everyone knows breaststroke
can be swum faster if submerged completely, and if you do multiple cycles when
submerged, but it will also means you will either get tired faster and out of
breath faster. However if you are a competitive swimmer, this will mean breaking
the rules.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">During casual
swimming, to be able to swim effortlessly and doing multiple laps without
tiring, you just need to take advantage of the technique, making some minor
adjustments through the coordination and positioning of your arms and legs
during the guide, together with the rhythm of your breathing:<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">A series of photos of me depicting my weight
loss journey, before and now. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Weight loss is a journey, and if you have
experienced that, you will know the process is not a straight line
depreciation, it could be like falling stock prices, just that the fluctuation
is not so drastic and once you reached your pre-determined weight goal, you may
want to review it. For me, I am happy to hit a weight that I have never weighed
since 18 years back. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I am ordinary, I do not intend to build a 6
pack, but I know I can do it. Why? I have known and seen people doing it in a
month, and if I want it, just ask them, they will be happy to share. Why is it
so? There are many reasons, but the main reason is they are happy about it, and when its something positive, they are more willing to share.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Some experts say ‘Potatoes
are good for you as long as you prepare them in a healthy manner.’ They will be
quick to mention that boiled and baked potatoes are good for you, while French
fries and potato chips are not. A good part of the supporting facts come from
the analysis of the potato itself and what potato contains and its usefulness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">A recently
concluded long-term (over 20 years) research by Harvard found that among all
the foods studied, potatoes stood out. French fries and potato chips are
fattening, but for every other type of potato serving (mashed, baked and even
boiled potatoes), people will gain a pound over four years with an additional
serving to their regular diet each day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
It pays to be mindful of what we are eating and be a constant lookout for healthier but yet tastier substitutes or even recipes. <o:p></o:p><br />

Yes, I know, words are easily said then done. During my own weight loss journey, this is something I myself explored. Looking through my own food journal (yes this is something I did), below are some of the food I take for my meals:<o:p></o:p><br />

Mostly my breakfast is consumed at home, some requiring 10-15min of preparation.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="tab-stops: 124.55pt;">
- Eggs Hardboiled without the Yoke<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>For Lunch/Dinner Consumed Outside</u></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
It is unavoidable that lunches or dinners are consumed at hawker centres or restaurants with colleagues or friends.<o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
We only need to be mindful of what we are actually consuming if it is our own health which we are looking after. Different people have different liking, and habits need to be nurtured over time (I also understand) hence I will be putting down a listing of common hawker food/fast food/restaurant food with their amount of calories/sugar and salt content side by side for your reference.<o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
For my own meals usually I will bring along tomatoes as well as a fruit with me and selecting something I like to eat but also mindful of the following:<o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>Less oil/salt<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>Less or no gravy<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>No fried stuff if possible<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>Brown rice in substitution of white rice<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>White rice rather then the tastier chicken rice<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>Chicken without the skin<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>White meat instead of red meat<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<div style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">- - </span>More servings of vegetables<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><u1:p></u1:p>Packed Lunches can be nice</u></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
If packing requires too much of an effort, don’t bother. But who says packed food is not delicious, you should, in the first place, cooking stuff which you like to eat, isn’t it?<o:p></o:p><br />

<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
Snacking on your usual snacks is a no-no. Potato chips, crackers, sweet pastries and biscuits, chocolates on a daily basis will do you no good if you are serious in losing weight.<o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
When you are hungry between meals, snack, but snack on healthier alternatives. Some of the items I stocked up include:<o:p></o:p><br />

It decreases the effects of aging and the risk of certain diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, cardiovasucular disease and Type 2 diabetes. It also helps to improve one's psychological well-being through positive and higher levels of self esteem as well as in contribution to fighting stress and anxiety.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Coupled with a balanced diet, physical exercise stimulates the metabolism and eliminates excess calories, which allows for better weight control and reduces the risk of obesity.<br />
<br />
Exercise also decreases the risk of colorectal cancer, breast cancer and endometrial cancer. It also acts in stimulating the immune system to protect against infections, in particular against flu and cold.<br />
<br />
In short, regular exercising helps to people to achieve 2 important things:<br />
<br />
1. Good Health<br />
2. Better Appearance/Image/Looks<br />

When we expect something we do not want, we attract the undesirable, and when we desire a thing that is not expected, we actually send out some mental signal. On the other hand, when we constantly expect what we persistently desire, our ability to attract becomes irresistible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I will start by saying again:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
‘Everyone knows how to lose weight: Eat less and exercise more. Most people also know how to eat less and exercise more.’<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
In fact much material, in the form of healthy diets and exercise information are freely available in the internet or even in the library. And what’s more is that some of this information came from nutritionist, health-care experts and even doctors and among these professionals came conflicting viewpoints. But the rate of obesity continued to rise in the developed and developing countries including Singapore.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
You might have heard this before:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘The truth is out there … but so are lies’ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">– <span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The X-files</span></b></i><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This quote strikes an uncanny resemblance to what is actually happening.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
And the answer to that may be:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">‘There ain't no answer. There ain't gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer.</span></i><span style="color: black;"> ‘</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">– <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Gertrude Stein</span></span></i></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The quote above really sums up what goes through our minds when we are faced with these questions:</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">1. </span><span style="color: black;">How to lose weight? </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<o:p> </o:p><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">So many different ways right, isn’t it? Liposuction? Detox first? Exercising? Eating Right? Supplements? Surgery?</span></i></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<o:p> </o:p><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">2. </span><span style="color: black;">How to have a balanced diet? </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">When you think reading a book and following the balanced diet suggestion is fine, wait till you read 10 books, and you will know what I mean. Am I supposed to have 3 meals, multiple meals, 10 servings? 15 servings or even >20 servings?</span></i></b><span style="color: black;"><u1:p> </u1:p></span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">3. </span><span style="color: black;">What food to eat to get those essential vitamins and minerals? </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">All books on nutrition WILL describe to you different vegetables/fruits/meats/other food which contains essential vitamins & minerals, and also their properties and their helpful functions, ending up in recommendation for you to consume this meat, that vegetable, and that nut and of course this fruit and that fish. </span><span style="color: red;">Get what I mean</span><span style="color: black;">?</span></i></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<o:p> </o:p><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">4. </span><span style="color: black;">How much weight do I want to lose? </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">This is a trick question, but if you do have this question in your mind, sooner than later you will get answers to the other 3 questions above.</span></i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></i><o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<o:p> </o:p><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Many doctors will tell you, do not lose more than 1% of your weight per week, this is really interesting, which I will further elaborate on another post.</span></i></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
What actually happened? People are human, flawed as though we may think how perfect we are, and in constant conflict between our needs, influences, logic and morality. And <em>professionals are also human</em>. Information alone does not change people. We have our own attitudes, fears, habits, emotions and perceptions.<o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
<u1:p></u1:p>Weight Loss isn’t only about the food, the exercise, the weight management program I been through, the supplements I eat, the slimming centre I went to, or even what doctors/experts tell me to do, etc. Telling people to lose weight through nutrition information is akin to telling smokers the chemical content of cigarettes. <o:p></o:p><br />
<u1:p></u1:p> <br />
So what is weight loss all about? Information and ways to weight loss are plentiful and interesting, but in the absence of other very important attributes namely – BELIEF, MOTIVATION, COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE and HOPE – it’s powerless to change anything.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">‘Believe you can and you're halfway there.’ - </span><b><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Theodore Roosevelt</span></b></i><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.’ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">- Jim Ryun</span></b></i><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">‘Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.’ </span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">- <b>Mario Andretti </b></span><span style="color: black;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance’ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">- Lee Iacocca</span></b></i><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">‘If you're going through hell, keep going.’ </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">–Winston Churchill</span></b></i><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I am not a motivational guru or consultant. But quotes of Wisdom from famous and renowned persons are powerful and self-explanatory on those 6 attributes.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Everyone needs belief, motivation, commitment, determination, perseverance and hope – but where do they come from? For some people, they exhibit lots of these attributes, but for ordinary people like you and me, not every attribute are present readily, so how can we resurrect these attributes when we want to lose weight? <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
It is something simple: through connecting with people.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
‘You alone can do it, but you can’t do it alone’.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
How do we connect with people? It is through our different forms of communication, be it face-to-face, over the phone, over facebook, and many other forms of medium. It is through sharing of your experience, in contact with people who are or have been in the same position. This is why I am going to share with you also how other people loss weight. Learning from how someone who overcame weight loss will have a much greater impact than listening to an expert lecture or product offering, as these are real people.Hohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02085523218235769960noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871515965065308626.post-54964753916757087342012-07-02T14:09:00.000+08:002012-07-25T20:47:02.853+08:00My Weight Loss Journey - So far so goodStatistics always shows.

<a name='more'></a>One may wonder, there is seriously nothing to shout about losing only close to 12kg and the BMI of above 25 which <strong><span style="color: red;">STILL</span></strong>classified me as <strong><span style="color: red;">OVERWEIGHT</span></strong>.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Taking a closer look, MY weight loss when I followed a concerted process occurs over 2 months since Apr 2012, with the commonly used measurements (waistline, body fat), showing positive improvements. I am even able to wear my only-wore-once-bought-in-year-2000 AMCO pants, which is the only size 32 pants in my warerobe.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
<br />
My actual journey started in October 2011, on one fateful morning, tipping on the weighing scale and discovering myself weighting 90kg. For a single man, it do seems like my stomach is going from the second to third trimester, just like a pregnant lady. Over the next 6 months, I engaged myself in some idle form of exercise, abeit irregularly, gradually from walking, brisk walking and finally jogging. Exercising <strong>DO</strong> help, didnt I loss 5kg out of it? <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
However, something else doesnt seem right, seeing is believing, and the mirror doesnt tell lies: I still look like in my third trimester. Man also like to look good. It seems up to a certain point, I had hit a plateau in my irregular exercise regime, that I wonder whether this is the working of the <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns</span></a>.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Of course the journey doesnt ends there, that is just the beginning. From 9th April 2012, I started on a weight loss program termed <strong>The Right Approach (TRA), </strong>after being introduced to this by a friend.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<strong>TRA</strong> is being on 3 principles:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The Right Diet<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The Right Exercise<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The Right Supplement<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Familiar? Indeed, if you had visited any of the goverment hospitals recently in Singapore, and during your long wait for the doctor, you could have seen many videos produced by by <a href="http://www.hpb.gov.sg/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Health Promotion Board</span></a> depicting different health problems also mentioned the above.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
So my weight loss journey started with these 3 principles in mind. I will describe my experiences in applying and even extending these 3 principles into something relevant.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
How to loss weight?<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
How to have a balanced diet?<o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="color: blue;">What exercise?<u1:p></u1:p></span><o:p></o:p><br />
Any science involved in lossing weight?<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="color: blue;">What are Vitamins and Supplements?<u1:p></u1:p></span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I am not a weight loss guru, not a nutritionist, not a scientist and definitely not a doctor. But as an ordinary person who losses weight, some of my personal experiences and struggles in weight loss may be similar to yours. If there are any questions that are answers which I know, I will be glad to help. Just post a comment here, add me in facebook or even email me.Hohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02085523218235769960noreply@blogger.com4
