Eat Mindfully, Turn over a new "Leaf"
Loosing weight has always been an infamous resolution in the beginning of the year especially after Chinese New Year. For everyone who knows me before 2001 also know that I don’t weight light. It has always been a constant struggle between food, fat and me. When asked of how I’ve loss so much weight, I would say eat mindfully and maybe resort to the 10 small little tricks below might help.
1. Use appealing cookery, but choose smaller plates to make your portion of food seem larger than usual
2. Always leave a little something behind on your plate, hey! not the vegetables!
3. Make sure half of the food on your plate is salad or vegetables.
4. Stock the ratio of 3 types of healthy snack (e.g. Almond, Raisin) is to 1 type of unhealthy snack. You don’t really want to see your fridge full of chocolates, chocolates and chocolates
5. Never eat in front of your computer or TV, instead substitute with healthy drinks like fruit juice, Horlick, Milo or WATER
6. Practice food trade-offs. You really want some of that delicious ice-cream? Go for a walk (more than 15mins) after lunchtime
7. Eat when you’re hungry, just like when you feel the urge to wee/pee
8. Don’t chat while you eat and don't eat with your mouth full, you don’t just gain weight and die by overeating, you might die of choking
9. Be the last person at the table to start eating and make sure you cater to everyone needs at the table before your start eating E.g. Bring out the remaining food from the kitchen or making the drinks for your guest while they have started eating
10. Share your dessert
