how does a diet plan work out if you work on shifts ?
im on night shifts (12AM-12PM) and meals are provided 11PM (dinner), 6AM (breakfast) and 12 PM (Lunch) ... i always end up super hungry by the time its noon even though on normal days i only eat very little for dinner

if i semangat then i try to wake up about 9PM and have about 30-60 mins run before i start work .. cos by the time i finish work its like 1-2PM already, no time to run after that .. i work 12AM - 12PM shifts

Problem is .. im usually not that hungry for breakfast at 6AM, but by the time its 12PM super hungry .. but eat then straight away sleep ?? die lor ...

my 2 cents - Lipton green tea (the teabag) taste wierd ... Japanese green tea is much better .. my favourite till now ..OSK new family tea bag .. i think its like RM20 per box but tastes way better than lipton .. Nishio brand aso not bad


wahh .. you can HIIT for 1 hour ? hebat.. for me 20 mins and i feel like want to die di ..

Hi, dont know if its related, but my doctor put me on medication which has made my appetite increase ... not good for weight loss effort

i tried to compensate by snacking more on fruits and increasing veggies but a few people told me veggie/fruits is all carbs and I shouldnt be taking so much ??

can anyone clarify cos its the first time i've heard such a thing . . .

>.<
I got confused, cos apparently cucumber was on the OK list, and carrots were not .. banana and watermelon is a big no no ....

Struggling to manage my diet now .. I used to go low carb, but no carbs + medication gives me the wildest mood swings
Meals now mostly large portion of fresh veggies, some form of meat ... If I'm eating carbs, which is better - baked potato or bread ? Havent touched rice for 6 weeks so far ....

Snack on fruit or cucumber, sometimes biscuits (i have a huge problem with biscuits) ... if i really keep feeling hungry then a hard boiled egg

how many eggs can i eat in a day ?

she told me not to eat banana ... and if want to eat i shouldnt eat more than half (what to do with the other half leh?)
im working, either 8-6 when im in the office, or 12-12 when im in the field ..
workout is limited to running, something like 5-8K daily and weights 2-3 times a week

i don't eat hard boiled egg yolk if that counts ...

I dont know about eating egg white ...but i'd imagine even if you want to lose weight you should still be doing strength training .. or else you'll just be skinny fat >.<

I do cardio intervals when i either have no mood to go for a long run or i don't have the time to spare for a long run
I run/walk on the treadmill ... 1 min 5, 1 min 16 ... after 15-20 mins see stars di .. haha

well actually i found interval training quite effective in dropping weight, but maybe its not the same for everyone ?

and i dont diet ... because putting yourself on a strict diet isnt sustainable long term for me .. can tahan for about 2-3 weeks (longest was 1 month) then i cave and eat EVERYTHING in sight

better to just watch your diet, make small changes .... brown bread for white bread, brown rice for white rice ... then maybe less rice, more veggies ... for me, diet doenst mean salad everyday, watch your intake of fried foods and sweets ... i have a sweet tooth, so if i really want that cookie i'll eat it ... just put in extra work out time for that week ... don't know if its effective, but its better than not eating bread/pastry for a whole month then eat like 2 muffins at one go

you need to find out what works for you lor ... just cut down one thing at a time ... i started with coffee ^.^

i dont think i'll ever manage to fit back into my jeans from 2004, i was pretty skinny then
its still sitting in my closet .. just waiting for that day ............

all that cardio, but my hips don't seem to be shrinking DAMN

is there such a thing as drinking too much water ? i thought it was good for you ..
weight fluctuates as SydG said .. trying just weighing yourself once and at the same time everyday lor ...
