I have a body training journal here:

My Workout Journal
Last week I have no weight lost and waist measurement lost at all

Need the advice from you. Thanks!

charge-n-go,

i still think you're undereating

What is your suggestion Syd G?

I'm looking at your journal and just wondering, how on earth did you calculate the kcal for wantan mee and dimsum?

I suspect that you're not having any drop in weight or waist, is because of the foods you're eating. Either underestimation of colories or you're not producing enough glycogen.

I don't have my book with me atm so you'll have to wait until I get back home to check. Glycogen acts as a fat-releasing hormone as well. However, it is also sensitive to insulin content in the blood. So if you eat too much food with high GI, there may be more insulin than there is glycogen. So, no weight loss.

Insulin is used to control your blood sugar levels but if your blood sugar yoyos too much in the body, it's hard for the body to control itself (a nutshell kinda logic). I'll have to get back to you on this one later tonite.

But looking at the foods that you posted in your blog, hmm...I would say that maybe it's the blood sugar effect but guessing game here. It's obvious that you are a very active person. You might need that much carbo anyways.

A lot of processed food around. Since you don't have access to a kitchen, I would suggest for lunch and dinner, try to eat "economy rice" where you can pick and choose your portions. Avoid sauces and gravy but go for food cook from fresh food e.g. vegetables and meat. 2 spoonful of rice, or beans instead since beans are a good source of carbo with low GI. Avoid yams and potatoes except for sweet potato. McD sunday cone is a bomb lah.

The problem with eating "economy rice" is that there's a lot of sugar put into the meals. Even eating at Chinese Restaurants, there is a lot of sugar put into the dishes, just to get rid of any sour/salty/fishy taste/smell. But I guess not much choice. So "economy rice" food choices is the best option for you atm. Avoid the fried stuff and eat fish or chicken.

You may also want to consider the approach that BBers adopt with cutting fat stage. Not to the extreme that they do but just a little bit to drop the amount and then go back to your normal eating habits to maintain the cut.

can pls take the quiz and report the results? http://www.sensible-alternative.com.au/metabolic.pdf

Less than 15 a’s: You are a slow or medium oxidizer of carbohydrates. You do not need
to restrict carbohydrates, but you may still feel better with less refined flour and sugar.
You will do well with lighter proteins like fish and goat cheese.

Me atm. The questionairre looks like a survey on low carbo / processed food / fermented food.

haha, I am just guessing. I read something about a plate of dim sum is roughly how many kCals. I ate about 4 plates only. It is really a rough estimation.

Thanks for your help wiki san.


gao dim. I got 6 A.
thank you for the link



Sky.Live, Wiki-san, I have put a link to your blogs !

i got 8As but some of the question i dont really understand such as
28. Are your pupils?
26. Do you react badly to insect bites?

21. Do you have a problem with dandruff?
I used to have but no longer, does it count?

The question asked dont seems to project towards asian diet.

Been a while i have nothing to update for my blog

I scored like... 95% As - they're quite spot on

charge-n-go : i think it's pretty clear. keep away from fatty proteins (kfc, pork) n processed carbs

let ppl like us enjoy the fatty proteins

chill bro. Let's share our weight loss journal. We can have more ohm~~!!


hahaha, you reminded me on pork. Last saturday during Ching Ming, I makan 2 big plates of 烧肉 (dunno what is it called in english). Damn, I like pork !!

but now gotta stick to chicken and fish. SydG, i pass the pork to u, u pass the rice to me

I've started taking 2 half boiled C size eggs for breakfast - they fill me better than a huge packet of nasi lemak. I kinda like nasi lemak

skylive : Some of the questions are based on the concept that "what-you-eat-may-caused-health-problems" e.g. pupils, dandruff, insect bites (it's something to do with some kind of acid forming on your skin that attracts insects, or the rate of skin healing).

With homeopathic "medicine" or naturaopathy, the practice is to avoid taking processed medication and use natural remedies for healing as well as avoiding chemical exposure. There is some true into it and people who have allergic symptoms to chemicals will find it does work more effectively for them than conventional medication.

nevermind. You can poslaju me the nasi lemak. I'm glad to share your joy.
at the mean time, I will post you some fatty protein.

Actually, hmm... wonder if we can "makeover" the nasi lemak to something healthy :

-brown rice
-roast chicken drumstick
-cucumber
-boiled peanuts
-boiled egg

But my head hurts thinking of how to prepare the sambal. Maybe just make the sambal as it is and just go with it. A small portion shouldn't contribute much to weight gain since the rice is not cook in coconut milk anymore no?

use evap milk to replace coconut.........but how to replace salt?

use sunflower oil instead of palm oil to cook the sambal.....

Ermmm.... very hard to control lor. When eating dimsum, say the prawn + pork meat in dimsum, they will probably use a combination of meat and fat together (e.g. fatty meat, skin). Also, they do at in sugar.

Come to think about it, most Chinese food has sugar in them. Watching my Granny cook some of those restaurant style dishes as well as Penang Nyonya cooking, must say she does have a heavy hand a it.

And the oink-oink you mention is suckling pig?

Added on April 13, 2009, 3:19 pmCan't replace salt. Maybe have to use seasalt or just adapt to not having salt in food.

Sambal : the problem is sugar. There is alot of sugar in sambal that makes it sweet and to overcome the salty taste from the prawn sambal salty taste.
