well.. i don't really know how to advice u on diet.. as i don't know how a girl should eat.. but i DO know that even if u eat alot(clean CALS only, no cheat meals.. maybe once in a while) u won't gain much fat.. in fact, u'll burn better like that.. just eat like a normal person and don't starve yourself.. just be super strict with what u eat.. choose your food wisely and you'll be rewarded..

good luck.. smile.gif

I hv RSSed to ur blog. Either way also can. But I'll comment here cause it's easier hor.

Someone told me that in order to get physical strength (discipline & determination), you need to build ur mental strength first. I failed in my diet before, it took me a lot of emotional strength and a huge mental slap to the head to realign back with my goals.

Maybe you need some time to find strength. Losing weight without direction is VERY HARD. There are so many questions to be answered (what to eat? when to eat? what should i do at the gym today? what to order when i go out?, should i go for fat-free food all the way? my muscles hvnt recover from yesterday's workout - should i be 'determined' and go again today or not?). Worst case,  you may lose a lil weight and regained even more fat (this happened to me 2 months ago) & feel really really depressed. Most ppl stop working out at this phase. Be prepared for that.

It's ok to indulge once a while (once every two days is fine - it depends on what you're indulging on).

Diet is not about torturing yourself, just eat better things. I proved that healthy food doesnt have to be boring and taste like shit.

Learn to read food label smile.gif

yay...couldnt agree more...but it's not easy for one to have strong mental strength...needs a lot of hard work....

i doubt whether i am able to cope with it or not if i only lose a lil weight and regain more fat like u....how u overcome this??

i think i shud be more prepared for that...at least if this really happens to me i hope i am able to cope with it and won't give up half way....

How I overcame it?

biggrin.gif

After my hiatus (lots of excuses - exams / fasting / raya / study yadayada) I went to see my PT and demanded to be measured on the BF machine. My heart broke after seeing the stats. I was thinking - "I spent 2k++ on gym membership and PT and barely-touched whey and supplements and this is what I get back in return? vmad.gif "

One week after that I went thru BB.com's women transformation section and that totally blew me away. I started planning my meals tailored to the condition that I hv and gave it a go. Surprise surprise after a week I lost almost 1kg and I never looked back ever since icon_rolleyes.gif

For women especially, binging and purging is especially bad coz of the tendency for the female body to retain water. When you purge, your body desires to replenish water fast to rehydrate and all the water goes in your soft tissue. This somatic (water in/out)action in your cells will cause problems in your skin tone, which is kinda important for females am I right? Plus of course the water retention will be prolonged/made worse

Still hv 4 sessions left. I'm going to miss my PT very much cry.gif

Dont worry about heavy weights too much. Just do it according to your own strength hor. Later injured susah wink.gif Btw you can cheat with machines, one, if do wrong technique sometimes can do double the weight but you'll be working the wrong muscles biggrin.gif

Your PT nvr bring u to free weights area?

Btw BF fluctuates 1-2% daily so dun worry too much. I hv a BF machine at home so in the morning n afternoon the reading is quite cacat compared to later in the evening. Actually measure once in 2 weeks is fine dy wink.gif

Funny story. Whenever I weigh @ gym's BF machine my BF usually 38%-39% which is OBESE lvl @_@ Somehow I think it was due to either dehydration/static due to wearing socks. When I weigh at home it's between 28-29% which is makes more sense. doh.gif

Maybe we can work out together sometime. I hv passport wink.gif

i don't think u're eating enough.. get more protein in.. don't worry.. u won't turn into arnold.. eat more balanced meal.. less carbs during the night... eat as much carbs as u want pre workout, and have a good burn during.. if u under eat, u'll overreach very fast and u'll be weak all the time.. jsut eat like a normal person but be very strict with your food selection..

Oh My God. I'm sensing a pattern. My OLD DIET!! Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!! The diet that doomed me to months of yoyo-ness, depression and no results. Run run run for your life biggrin.gif

Realize that your veges are often stir-fried? And it's always cabbage? Swap that to steamed broccoli / baby carrots / tomato / veges with colour or fresh green leafy veges like lettuce (so many type of lettuce - Romaine is my favourite wink.gif. Fresh food FTW! Please please stay away from stir-fried veges & processed food.

Please sweat.gif

Fish cake != fish. Fish cake = processed food.
Sausage != chicken. Sausage = processed food.
Dolmio pasta sauce != tomato. Dolmio pasta sauce = processed food.

When eating out eat real fish and real chicken. You can wash away the oil with soup but you cant do anything about processed food. They're full of starch and God knows whatever other things they put inside.

Are you a pear-shaped or apple-shaped person? Pear-shaped = big butt & thigh. Apple-shaped = big tummy & breasts
