4 Hour Body Initial Trial

I am not good with words so i will just put in the statistics...

started the diet with 74.2kg

breakfast
NTUC Roasted Chicken, boiled and shredded, re stir fried with celery and portobello mushrooms


Lunch
Hard boiled eggs with broccoli carrots and mushrooms


Dinner was sharing twenty chicken wings with Alice, Hunney, Helmey, Hanping and some for Mummy!


Second day weight - 73.9kg - loss 300g

This was supposed to be first day dinner but become second day dinner. Because I did not start off recording everyday, now i am a bit lost at what i had for everyday meals but I will try and record whatever I ate in the last five days.

Dory Fish and Cherry Tomatoes

Lunch was Roasted Duck at DIan Xiao Er! and half a bowl of rice. Forgot what dinner was??

But I think i had supper.


Tofu Mushroom Prawns Squid Ring in Miso with legumes - yummy!




Third Day morning weight - 73.6kg - lost 300g

Breakfast
Celery Prawns Tofu Mushrooms with Black Coffee


Lunchtime at Amoy Street, too hungry and i hunted down chicken rice instead. tried to wash whatever oil there is, but the rice is ohhh so awesome!!!! ;p



Fourth Day morning - 24th November - 73.1kg - lost 500g

This is the day that deviated. I didn't have enough time for breakfast, and didn't eat it in the first hour of waking, one of the golden five rules. And i only managed to eat half by 12.30pm. 

No breakfast photo. 

Lunch was duck kway chap with mum and i ordered more bean curd, also wanna vomit it out, haha. 




Because I had leg cramp in the morning, which i figured that i may have lost too much electrolytes, I shared a 100 plus canned drink with mum



Because I had too much to eat at kway chap session, i couldn't eat dinner, after a few mouthfuls. 

And I had an extremely late night session with Hanping, Kelvin and his friend (who turned out to be Tze Ming's brother!) and had coffee gao and two soft boiled eggs at 1 am. I was really too hungry. 


The coffee gao was too sweet and probably one of my killer items out of the many on this day. 



Weight on Day Five - 25 November - 73.2kg sobbbbb! gained 100g! 

So today i try to make sure i eat  my breakfast within the first hour of waking up, and also ate two hard boiled eggs. in the book, eggs play a very important part especially in breakfast. 

My breakfast was half of the left over from last night, chicken thigh with vege , legumes, prawns and two hard boiled eggs. 

And then, i missed lunch. sigh.  so my lunch became dinner

today macdonalds have 6 pcs nuggets buy one get one free, and i shared it with hanping. ok i admit i ate more than him! ate it at about 5.30pm in the car. 




Reached home and heat up my lunch (heng haven't spoil), and pan fry a egg omelette of four egg whites and two egg yolks. in the end both hanping and i cannot finish, so maybe leave it for supper.




Pray hard for the weigh in tomorrow morning!

Kettlebells training

Did I mention that I started kettlebell training with Alice underYusuf at Fitness First Millenia Walk, and already onto Our fourth session. I am not as hardworking as Alice, I hv only practiced once at home, and has not done any other exercise. Not only I hv not slimeed down, I am weighing between 74 to 75kg!!!!!




I cannot help but binge, especially when I am upset. I hv had packets and packets of potato chips, popcorn, instant noodles and deep fried chicken wings. Lets not even count the calories I literally inhaled on my four days Taiwan trip, it's already disastrous.

And I haven't blogged for three months, it felt like I just blogged a few days ago!

I need so much discipline to save me!!!

4 Hour Body Workout - Serious?

My dear sista Alice was reading about success stories using kettlebell, and came across this book 4 Hour Body

it advocates minimum effective exercise and slow carb diet that do not allow you to eat carbs - this is the most difficult part to achieve!

however at 74 kg, what the heck, just give it a try. since i have anyway tried more crazy stuff, why not?

The foods allowed are:
Egg whites with one or two whole eggs
Chicken breast or thigh
Grass fed beef
Fish
Pork
Legumes
Lentils
Black beans
Pinto beans
Red beans
Soy beans
Vegetables
Spinch
Mixed vege including broccoli cauliflower or other cruciferous vege
Sauerkraut or kimchi
Asparagus
Peas
Broccoli
Green beans

check out my loot from carrefour and ntuc!



These are the proteins that I have bought- Dory Fish, Salmon, Eggs, Silken Tofu and Tau Kwa. Will be buying chicken breast and thigh from my supplier. dont think i will eat beef as grass fed beef is expensive.



Vegetables: broccoli, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, japanese cucumber, ice berg.. these are the usual that my cafe use also, hahaha. also have cabbage leftover from my mum in law that i can use.





I have got some mushrooms too, although this was not in the allowed list. However, it is not in the prohibited list! So i have portobello mushrooms, jin zhen gu and swiss brown mushrooms




kimchi! I love kimchi, though i dun know yet why it is allowed, hur hur. buy first!




No sugar and milk is allowed in this diet, so there goes my 3 in 1 coffee. Hopefully i can survive on kopi o gosong!!




Ok, no carbo is allowed not even brown rice. But i really doubt i can last without carbo for very long, so just in case i cave in to unhealthy carbs, i thought i better have some healthy carbs to stand by.


and now the most important task is to clear the prohibited foods already in my home! toast to chocolate  milk!!! :D
