So, since we are all living in this very hectic life with junk food all around us. I'm wondering is anyone here have any suggestions on what kind of food we could buy in the supermarket? Like what kind of brand is the best, low in calories or something? It might help some LYN forumers to save their time comparing one brand with another brand when they're in the supermarket, you know? Hahaha

Call me ignorant but what is that? QUOTE(Nkye @ Sep 1 2013, 05:38 PM) So, since we are all living in this very hectic life with junk food all around us.

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Sep 1 2013, 06:50 PM) Yeap haha. But it's not as sour as a lemon or young mango. It's just a good level of sour. Doesn't really bother me though, perhaps it's because I know it's not unhealthy. Other peeps used to sweet beverages need some getting used to.This post has been edited by DT1: Sep 1 2013, 07:28 PM |

QUOTE(DT1 @ Sep 1 2013, 02:37 PM) Depends on what bread. If it's the Adventist 7 grain sprouted bread that's better than rice. If you're referring to white bread, rice would be better (in moderate amount). Hey there,Anzen organic oats. Costs about RM2 - RM4 more than Quaker Oats. I havent heard from Adventist 7 nor Anzen organic oats, can you tell me where can i get it? thanks my friend. |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Aug 31 2013, 11:10 PM) Errrrr lucky? Anyone can enjoy the food they want Dear Sifu,I'm a Fitness First member Agree, cut down on noodles, kuay teow, yee mee etc and just take some rice/ oats instead. I'd suggest the oatmeal itself instead of oatmeal bread or oatmeal biscuit. Trust me, there's a big difference. I see, tell your dad that you're trying to change/ lead a healthier lifestyle and advice him to join you Hahaha I wonder if it's me who mentioned the Jacob's biscuit. Anyway I used to take Jacob's high fiber, low sodium biscuit. It used to be dry and tasteless (which is good) but recently it has gotten much oilier and I've stopped taking it. Instead of biscuit, I'm taking Granola bar as pre workout or afternoon snacks. I don't know, I still find the 'less sugar' on yakult and vitagen very sweet. Is it a must for you to take? Taking low fat milk is better. How do you do? Which FF do you go my friend? I have already cut down my intake of noodles, kuew tiow and replaced it with oats as well as with rice with lots of vege and protein. I wonder if I have to take the HIIT program, which classes should i join in FF which consists of some of steps from HIIT? |

QUOTE(johnjiji @ Aug 30 2013, 09:41 PM) One of the great benefits of ProArgi-9 is that it may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular heart disease. Another benefit of L-arginine is that it is a vital amino acid that plays a role in a number of physiological functions in the body but is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. Let's check it out and find L-arginine also enhances health in a number of other ways. It improves immune function, stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), promotes healthy sexual function, may boost energy levels, helps to build muscle, and reduces adipose tissue body fat. what is this? Some kind of supplements or food?? sorry, im little slow |

QUOTE(young_guy87 @ Sep 4 2013, 08:38 AM) Dear Sifu, lol don't call me sifu la, not qualified. I run around the FF outlets but most of the time I'm in KBT. Sometimes at Setia Alam and Paradigm. How do you do? Which FF do you go my friend? I have already cut down my intake of noodles, kuew tiow and replaced it with oats as well as with rice with lots of vege and protein. I wonder if I have to take the HIIT program, which classes should i join in FF which consists of some of steps from HIIT? Kudos to you for replacing the noodles etc with oats and healthier options. You will see some improvement soon OMG I'm a LesMills GX enthusiast, you have asked the right person! Basically i have tried almost all the classes HIIT - Body Attack Mid to high cardio - Body Combat, Body Step, RPM Low to mid cardio (dance) - Zumba, Body Jam, Sh'bam Weights - Body Pump Weights + Cardio - Grit (only in Paradigm though) Toning - TRX, hardcore My suggestion is that you do Body Attack at least 2 times a week, max 3 times a week. Note that Body Attack is a high intensity cardio program and some moves (especially the jumping ones) when not done correctly might cause injury to your knee in long term. But rest assured that there's always optional moves. Depending on interest, you can also pick up Body Combat if you enjoy combat style workout. You'll be able to burn quite a fair share of calories but no doubt won't be as high as Attack. Body Step uses the step board and RPM - workout on the stationary bike. I have a number of friends who enjoys RPM though I have yet to try ^^; it's time to give it a shot. Take up Body Pump to strengthen and build muscles. If you're around PJ area, go for Grit - trust me, that 30min felt like forever. Tough challenge. You can build a strong core and tone up body with TRX or hardcore. Basically I go for all except Jam and Sh'bam; yet to try RPM. I go for Grit sometimes. Thus depends on you. I suggest you take your time and try out whatever classes (all if possible) and then find the 'right ones' for you. Every club and the members have different culture and preference so feel free to explore. Remember, you pay for the membership - make the most out of it!
