How to lose some weights

We heard this doctor who was an evolution lecturer who turned christian, gave a lecture on health.
We were told that we don't really need a lot of protein because we are already a body of protein. And extra protein gives you a whole lot of unneeded troubles. ( will elaborate in my next blog on health ) And in order to lose weights, walking is the best way. Brisk walking, not the hard walking that makes you pant. And of course no eating between meals... a hem, that will be something I have to deal with.
But being a vegetarian will help as well. Lots of fruits and vegetables. We rather eat vegetable protein than animal proteins. So remember the next time before you put animal protein in your mouth, you need to consider some of these facts: you will release stinky gas, get constipation, put extra proteins that your body really doesn't need, illnesses..etc.
Be true to yourself, take good care of yourself and stay healthy.

Food labels a trap????

I have noticed people studying the labels on food products before buying them. But can we really rely on the information labeled there?
Do you know the labels on these food products can be deceiving in a way that when they labeled it as low fat, people tend to overindulge in eating more than they should? Someone we know who is on low salt diet. But just because the label says low salt, more salt were sprinkled onto the food. I am sure you have seen people doing that. Just because the label says Fat Free, people tend to eat more of it.
Remember your intake even it is labeled fat free, low fat, low salt etc.... when you eat more than you should, it equals to the same amount of the food that you were trying to stay away from.
So if you want to be true to your diet, eat moderately and don't overindulge !

Anyways, yogurts are yummy to eat too. So why not give it a try. I am going to start eating more yogurts from now on.
Have fun experimenting !

Tea Drinking

Don't know how much of a tea drinker you are. But I just read another article about tea drinking. Do you know that tea is good for us? I prefer those without caffeine. Anyways, here are why you should drink tea. 1) They are tummy tuckers. Especially the green tea...according to the study.
2) They give you a youthful glow on your skin.
3) They help with our immune system.
Catechins in tea help our hearts too. And they boost metabolism. Burn fuels.
Do you know why chinese people look younger than their age? They drink a lot of tea. And why most chinese people are slimmer? They drink hot tea after each meal...at least, the older generations did that. It seems that tea washes away the fats that were in the foods. Therefore, no fats remain in the body.
Our body will destroy the catechins in the tea. But a squeeze of lemon will preserve it.
Mmmm lemon tea is plenty fine.
Next time you think of not drinking tea, think of this.
