Drinking skimmed/low fat milk vs Full cream milk, how much differences is there?

I totally hate HL due to the very unnatural sweetening taste.

A lot. Just compare the labels for fat and carbo + sugar content. Those are the main sources of fat in milk.

All low-fat milk have some sweetener in them. True low-fat milk tastes horrible without the sweetener.

HL tastes unnatural because they added in vanilla flavouring.

The other option is switching to soy milk. Just look for unsweetened ones.

sugar in milk? o.O
I thought fresh milk shouldn't have any sugar in it.

fullcream no but once u take out the fat to make low-fat milk, it doesn't taste as good.

your body look OK already, but yeah can be better.
why you obsessed with numbers on weight scale? ppl wont know much you weight btw, if you look good enough you will break their necks when you walk by

Added on April 6, 2009, 8:37 amHmmm.... it's not really necessary to drop all the way down to the lower end of the Normal BMI range.

http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/GallagherBodyfat.php

use the link above. Was given by another poster. 18 - 25 is the normal BMI range.

Hmm... are you sure that it's losing fat or just toning up muscles so that your body looks slimmer and fitter and less flabby? A lot of ladies out there think that they are fat but they are in the normal BMI range (although using the BMI is for an estimate or agak-agak to gauge whether you're on the right track or not) but it's not to set a specifc target. As long as you reach the range, that's fine.

Now, about toning. Toning is about making your muscles tighter and sleeker instead of the flabbiness. Toning is done through cardio as well strength training and flexibility training (stretching, pilates, yoga).

You might find that you're losing weight but if you're losing inches around your body, that's fine. Plus, if you're planning to drop 10 kg to 48 kg, you might be scrawny.

Hmm...why do you want to lose 10 kg though? And what areas aren't you satisfied with? Be specific - the BBers are better than me when it comes to focusing on problem areas of the body and muscle.

This is the US recommendation for balanced diet.

The UK way has too many slices on the plate that hard to remember. The US one easier.

The above is a long post about trimming the stomach. There probably are more abdominal exercises around.

48kg is on the lower range of the BMI for normal. You go lower and doctors may start thinking you're anorexic (if what I read on wikipaedia is correct).

Look at strength training for toning, not body building.

I tried some interval training, it's killing me... lol i cant even complete 6 rounds of 20 sec work 15 sec interval.. How do i made it easier?

BTW, what does BBer means?

Diet wise it's difficult as i live with my parents i have to eat what they cook. I like brown rice actually but my sister and father would be complaining if we ever switch. Lol

Any new sort of training takes time for muscles to adjust. But do it often enough, and you'll find that you can do it. Just be careful to know when the pain gets too much that you have to stop else you pull a muscle.

BBer = BodyBuild-er

Cook your own brown rice and keep in the fridge. I cook a cup every 3-4 days and scoop out 2 tablespoon of rice for meals. And I live with a Grandmother for the past 10 years and I'm 31. You think you have it tough, try eating with a Granny who gets very upset if I don't eat at the table.

Sky,Live - I tweaked my parents eating behavious as much possible......Older folks need more time and patience...need to explain to them on WHY? How it work?

Now we are all eating ecobrown rish and organic rice at minimal quantity...More vege....must have soup......and some meat (preferably try to stay away from fried one)

I converted the white bread to wholemeal bread for them on permanent basis........

It works but just need more patience....

Thx for myremi for your comments about my diet. Really appreciate your help and effort. I am aware I am taking some 'fattening' stuff in my diet, but I'm still a food lover and I'm not really in a rush to lose weight. My current progress of 2kg a month looks fine for me, and I got like another 10kg to go, I'm giving myself another like 6 months to go down. I'm more of a believer of the 'eat wateva u want, as long calorie does not exceed RMR' school of taught.


i) I solve my hard solid waste issue by replacing guavas with papayas. Turns out the papayas really help a lot for your toilet business.


ii) I'm currently increasing protein intake in hope to solve my decrease in my jogging performance, still starting so can't tell yet

iii) Faint spells, definetely not anemic, but I have a history of highblood pressure. Getting lesser these days, but still occuring.

Errr..what is your weight, height and age atm?

History of high BP is usually a bad sign. How high is high and have you seen a cardiologist about it?

I think I need to be careful when I say certain things. I always have this tendency to assume that ppl who ask about weight loss are overweight people and instead, find out later that they are ok and it's just that they have a negative outlook about their figures.
