I'm sure many of you have at least experience sauna once. What it does is to make you sweat it out, & hopefully you lose some weight & clear the skin a little. Then there's hot yoga- it's like normal yoga +1...haha... yes if you don't sweat while doing the normal yoga because you probably are having your class in some nice cool place, hot yoga is the opposite! It's Yoga exercises performed in hot and humid conditions. Due to the heat, Hot Yoga really make you sweat, it also rapidly enhance flexibility and improves blood circulation.
So the idea is to sweat it out, but we often do not have the chance to do just that! I sleep in an air-con room. I wake up , eat my breakfast get into my car ON the air-con & zoom to work. My office is big with full blast air-coning. Comes lunch, most days I do not entertain the thought of going to the humble hawker center & sweat it out with the rest. IN actual fact you don't find the hot & humid hawker center in town anymore. They have been replaced by air conditioned food courts ! Which brings me back to something I was thinking of, is staying too much indoors with air-conditioning indirectly making us FAT ?
Living in constantly comfortable temperatures, the body do not have to work to keep cool or warm. Body gets lazy, fats accumulate & before you know it, you have a tummy, your thighs grew a little larger & your ass a little fatter !
I seriously suspected tis long ago !
ReplyDeleteIf you work in a hot environment -at least you sweat- like those construction workers- have you seen a fat construction worker before? We spend long hrs in cool air con places- body definite will become lazy & fat. Not suggesting we all go do manual jobs, but just agreeing our excessive use of air-conditioning is a major factor in making us FAT !!!
Just do housework everyday, you'll perspire & lose weight & your house will stay clean! Killing 3 birds with 1 stone !
DeleteNoone clean the house anymore:(
DeleteEveryone depends on the maids- maids are all so fit looking as a result & we end up looking like slops :(
Not true my maid kinda fat ....haha.... but she eats like a horse though.lol.
DeleteAgree with what's written :) Need to do more exercises , but it's boring & I'm too lazy :(
ReplyDeleteAir-con is not making us fat per se. But it does create the environment ....
ReplyDeleteoh yes ...hahhaha... excuses excuses .
Deleteeating too much & no exercises are the real culprit .....
ReplyDeletedon't blame on other things !
Unless you can eat the air-con ...lol... other then that, I don't see how it can literally make you fat. But of course that's not what's written. A cool relaxing environment does makes it conducive for us to snack more. If one is hot & sweaty, you wont want to munch on anything anyways.
ReplyDeleteIf you are hot & sweaty, tend to drink soft drinks, which is just as bad !!!
DeleteGatherings with close friends is making me fat .
ReplyDeleteI have a few close friends we meet like once in 2 months just to catch up- often going for buffet - & we really eat like crazy, have tons of fun & gossip But gain weight during the process :((
Diet is the main culprit - you are what you eat.
ReplyDeleteThe rest are just frills & excuses.
Totally agree !
DeleteEat less lor:)
DeleteCut out all junk food. Stop eating after 8pm. Cut out all soft drinks. That's not so difficult. Plus you've save much money ..lol.
DeleteMy greedy boy friend is a bad influence. Since knowing him I've put on 5kg !!!! That's like only since 6 months ago .
ReplyDeleteSuppers are a must for him !
Suppers are like suicide for losing weight !
DeleteI have a habit of eating before sleep too- very difficult to lose it. I feel so uncomfortable unless I eat some noodle or any supper :((
DeleteMayLee
Hi MayLee you can replace the meal with maybe a glass of milk or milo.
DeleteThanks , tried. Just need some solid food :((
DeleteAfter milo still feel hungry :(
Will be seeing doc soon to get panbesy. Hope it helps :((
I've put on so much weight since the beginning of this yr:(
MayLee
Hi MayLee , it's all in the mind. You need to train the mind. Don't give up & just keep doing it -after a while, you will get used to not eating.
DeleteEating suppers is more like a habit.
Thanks for the encouragement guys :))

Hi Eva, just a few questions. I am going to see dr keith this coming week. And I was just wondering, what do i tell him when i first meet him? is it okay for me to ask for the medication immediately when i consult him? would he give it to be even if im not overweight? hope to hear from you soon!
ReplyDeleteJust tell him you are there for weight loss -that's all. Most of us do :))
DeleteAnd yes you can ask for medication & see what he says- not to worry, he's super friendly :)
OMG ..... I have a fat ass too, from too much sitting! Feel like changing jobs. What jobs require to move around more? Any advice?
ReplyDeleteProperty agent- you move around all the time . Stewardess, you work non-stop during the flight. Sales, you stand a lot. Waitress, non-stop walking & standing-
DeleteProperty agent drives around much- end up sitting in the car ! Too much stand not good also !
DeleteWhen I started living with my bf's family, I also started eating the left-over from each meal (they are big on leaving much good food behind !!!!) - on the premise of not wasting food- months later I put on a few kgs ! sob......
