Losing the 5-7kg buldge certainly has its good points as mentioned in a previous post.
Alot of friends have been asking how to lose weight effectively but enjoy your meals.

Therefore, I've decided to share my 4 step strategy.

The effectiveness will vary from one individual to another depending on your metabolism.
To those with Rice Eating Gene, please look for a proper nutritionist. Do not follow my advice!

1) Dont skip meals
Skipping on meals makes you eat even more!
You may even find yourself eating fattening foods and gain weight.

2) Sleep Early
Try to be fully asleep by 11am regardless.
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) is a phrase not to be missed!

3) Replace Calories
Reduce calorie intake by replacing a portion of rice with fruit.
Makes the meal more enjoyable.
You can also opt to slowly increase the amt of fruit you eat and reduce the portion of rice/noodle, etc. However, this must be done GRADUALLY!

4) Water, water everywhere!
Drink lots of water!
Contrary to most individuals, water actually helps!
When body fat is converted into blood glucose, the pH decreases due to acidosis.
You need water to minimize the effect.
