Another website suggests not to eat high carbo together with high protein, drink a lot of water and eat less salt and caffeine (nnnooooo!!!).

"process called conscientious food combining - not eating concentrated proteins and carbohydrates at the same meals - is thought to help keep cellulite at bay"

This website suggests to eat grapefruit!
"Ken Fujioka, MD, of the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California observed obese study participants, who were not dieting, add a half of one grapefruit before each meal for 12 weeks. Participants lost an average of 3.6 pounds even without any additional dieting effort (note that the study was sponsored by the Florida Department of Citrus).

What's even more compelling is the fact that grapefruits contain the enzyme bromelain, which is both anti-inflammatory and skin-cleansing. Bromelain is also shown to help cut cellulite quickly.

If you’re going to indulge, make sure you eat it separately from other food groups. All fruits should be eaten alone, without the presence of other food groups such as vegetables, fats, or proteins (with the exception of leafy greens). Wait at least 20 minutes after eating a grapefruit before eating other foods.

Combining fruit with other groups inhibits digestion, causing food to improperly break down. This leads to fermentation in the stomach, causing gas to be formed. This also implies fat storage: if our bodies have trouble breaking something down, it means it also has a hard time expelling it. A food “in limbo” is thus converted to fat and stored in the body."

Quarterly catchup

Ok, so I have not blogged for four straight months and didnt realise it. I thought it was just last week! ok, maybe one month.

Although I didnt lose a lot of weight, I am silently smug about not gaining a lot of weight ;p last measured at Fitness First OUB Centre was 70kg.

I have not been eating cleanly at all. Lots of sweet drinks, fried stuff, suppers. Flexible working time is driving the lazy bug into my bones.

It has been great catching up with exercise at Fitness First, which I need to be consistently going in order to gain back some strength and shed some weight. Had two bodyfirst sessions with training manager Yusuf Kay, and it made me realise how I have not exercised to the extent of "shocking" my body ever since after LTW2.

It is very hard to work out to that kind of extent on your own, especially when the easier way out is, well, easier.

Cut the Macs, cut the sweets, cut the suppers!!!
