I dont mean we can whack nasi lemak all day. It's just that coconut milk is a good source of fat. That's if the claim is true from the site I given. "Coconut milk can help reduce weight" they claim. But in the end, if you over eat, you still gain weight. Cannot escape that even if you eat very healthy food.

Part of my diet...no nasi lemak at all
Heard my mom membebel about buying a lot of nasi lemak but no one (me ) ate it

Me 170cm(5'7") with 73kg.
But still got those love handles.

Sit straight and hold breathe.
Then pinch it...it's 1 1/2 inch thick
Hit it and it 'vibrates'
This time I'm gonna get rid of it once and for all.
Wanna make those 6 pack visible

2kgs. is it really show any difference in term of overall physique appearance?

I wonder if the qualities of coconut oil and coconut milk change after heating. Clearly that's not going to be answered without any experimentation, so I'm going to go on a coconut oil diet for 3 months and perhaps post with the results.

Since you think milk is the same, then why don't you give it a shot? Then we'd get an answer. I'll go shop for coconut oil tomorrow. Try Take your cholesterol levels first and see

FeeD, you wanted an answer.

Crosstrainer or treadmill : Depends. Crosstrainers are good for ppl with joint problems as very low impact compared to treadmill. Treadmill can be tougher.

You may also want to read up on the earlier posts. If you don't understand, just say where you don't understand. I see very clear answers from ppl like iamyuanwu, shanecross, goldfries, bata, kurtkob78, -Dan. These ppl have done it. They have achieved the look that they want and they know what works and what doesn't.

There are not quick and easy answers to 6 packs. If you want to be in denial, that's fine too since it is your choice. Just bear in mind whether you are defeating your body with your mind or not. Because perceptions are very strong and persuasive. If you are not willing to change your perception, it would be impossible for you to get the body you want.

One-line answers : depends. Some are just plain trolls. Although Syd G's one-line answers are very sharp and makes one think, it's not trolling though.

where to do cholestrol check ? expensive or not. it's not easy to get coconut milk alone. Only thing I can think of is Nasi lemak or mamak curry

Yes, fat gets oxidised (and a few other processes I forgot) after heating. But saturated oil (e.g. coconut oil, palm oil) are more resistant to heating.

Coconut milk nutritional data:
http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/nut-and...products/3113/2

kurbkob,
Dude, coconut milk is santan lah!
Just go to mamak or malay kedai runcit and ask them to grate a dry coconut's meat. Go home and press/squish the grated coconut meat. There you go: coconut milk a.k.a. santan. But it goes bad real fast. Must consume within half a day.
Or just go to supermarket and buy santan in a can.

Cholesterol check in a lab (pay). Or go to a medical school and have those medicine students take a reading (probably free if you've got kawan). Blood sample needed.

As for santan, I cannot be sure if it has the same effect as coconut oil. My lecturers were all too concerned about chasing the fad of researching 'minyak kelapa dara' and promptly forgot about santan.

No harm experimenting. (santan has got some protein in it too!)

But I wonder why nasi lemak can cause high cholesterol levels when consume for long term. I have no concrete proof for this, but anecdotal evidence from people I talk to.

That's silly. It's so easy to get coconut milk.

Drop to your nearest market and buy a coconut. They'll squeeze it for you and it's RM2 for a coconut+squeezing, then you can drink it. If you buy the packet ones, then you'd better know how to cook with it. Those aren't fresh and cannot be drunk just like that.

As for cholesterol check....where'd you think to check it? Your doctor.

You can do cholesterol checks or any other blood checks at any Pathlab outlet. There's a big outlet at Kelana Jaya near the King Crab place.

Coconut milk = Santan kelapa
Cendol use this.

Coconut oil took special tool to make it.

maybe not show any difference..but dat will be the starting point for me to gain more weight..even 2kg..its hard for me..

I want to flatten tummy, but abs exercise really works ?
Read an article be4, jog/run or walk is better than sit ups. And research shows that 2500 sit ups = 30 mins of running. Is it true ?

Jogg ~

Okay, now I'm training with skipping rope. Is that considered as a good cardio training?

Hi guys..I'm new here.I have weight problem. I'm 21 and 168 cm tall. The last time I check, I weighed 57kg only. The problem is, I don't really gain weight no matter how much I eat. And my diet is not consistent. Example, I maybe eat a lot this week. The next week, I'll kinda lose my appetite and eat less. I think that's why I don't really gain much weight. The other factor that I've been told is I have high metabolism rate, which I don't know true or not. My friends said I sometimes look like an addict because of my 'cengkung' face. So any advice guys? Anything beneficial supplement that I should take other than Weight Gain?

Pokeat,

Could've just gone back 2 pages and read a bit.

Stich,
Yes, it is. Rope skipping is very good. Can also improve coordination.

Yoecr7,
Eat right and a lot, do resistance training, and sleep early everyday.
Tahu pun your eating habit is fxcked up.

I used to be pretty much like you. But I've made noticeable progress in the last two months or so. Friends I don't meet often show the greatest reaction; they either comment about my mass increase directly, or they keep looking at my chest when they talk to me (I finally have one, yay). I have never felt more athletic, or feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Two things are fundamental: You must join a gym and lift very heavy weights, and you must chew and swallow. Chew at every opportunity. Before you know it, pants won't fit you anymore and you'll look more muscular with each day.

LOL at the way you say it. Very humourous!
Good reply. At least you're more patient with him. X^D

It must have been those pullups. They made me weak.
