Vera from America vs Me & Mum

My mother's half sister " Vera" had migrated to America long ago. She comes back once a while to visit. Usually during such visits she'll remind mum, what a horrible place we are still living in, & how she had the good fortune to escape this hell-hole. Strange isn't it, considering mum don't have to lift her finger at any house work as we have domestic help (Aunt Vera has to do everything herself ), our schools are super safe (no one goes around shooting students), our streets are safe, there's hardly any drugs or street gangs on the streets ... well I've not seen any in my 20 odd years here! Anyway.....

Aunty Vera has 4 main stories she likes to tell :
1. the highlights of her modelling career in Singapore long ago (who said what, who touched her where),
2. her disastrous marriage to her first husband ,( a self-proclaimed millionaire from America),
3. her disastrous marriage to her second husband (another self-proclaimed millionaire from America)
3. her frequent trips round the world ( she claims :Italy is overrun with gypsies, Paris is a rip-off, Switzerland is a bore )
4. & the times she bump into celebrities in the first class during her trips to exotic places.

Tonight she'll be coming to our place for dinner. My mum insisted I come home to meet her. Maybe she can't stand being alone with Aunty Vera, who can?. My dad had mysteriously come up with a sudden excuse- an important 'meeting' with some friends ....lol..  All my siblings were suddenly very busy as well tonight ..lol.. Well I've to sacrifice myself yet again!

Paris is always a JOY & never a rip-off, to me at least ..lol..

Cooking certain foods will make you lose weight, It's true !

We love French fries don't we? We eat it with our hamburgers, our meals, or as a snack. And you should know better, that if you do that often enough, you'll get fat, your veins & arteries would be block & you could die! Same goes with all other junk food.

Probably the biggest issue: is that these foods are readily available everywhere & is relatively cheap! But what if it's not??? By the way do you know how difficult it is to make these French Fries?

First you need to buy the potatoes, wash them, peel them, cut them into the right size, dry them, fry them, drain away the oil, clean up the oily utensils, clean up the kitchen. Imagine going through all that for a snack. I bet if you have to make them yourself you’d pass. Or maybe you might have them about once a month or most probably only once a year. The fact that labor has been removed from food like French fries has made us treat it as an everyday food.

Solution? "Eat all the junk food you want, just try cooking it yourself.”
If that's even possible...  before you lose interest or your mind, which ever comes first:)
I hereby, challenge you to make your own French Fries !

BTL Vanquish treatment, best for fat removal & body shaping

A couple of months back a friend came back from Hawaii & bought a beautiful new bikini for me. When I was trying it on , it dawned on me, my body contour is not as optima as it should be. It seriously could have been better. I can't be wearing this bikini with a small tummy right?

I went to Dr Keith Ong & ask him what can be done. My weight is great, I've never felt better, but I need a FLAT tummy. Dr Keith told me about the BTL Vanquish. In the brochure it says BTL Vanquish is the most advanced contactless technology (RF technology) for body shaping, fat removal & volume reduction. Cheap, no pain, no down time. Sounds about perfect to me. 
The procedure is about 45 mins.

BTL Vanquish : That's how it looks, pretty cool huh ?

 How I feel:
I feel hot at the area targeted. There's no tenderness, no bruising or marks emerged after the treatment, very please with that.  However I could feel some lumpiness under the skin, must be the fats coming apart ...haha.. It's just a feeling, you can't see it visually. I was told to drink lots of water. I also started massaging the lumpiness when I'm free & that seems to help.

Results: 

It's effective , no more tummy!!! Vanquish proved to be a credible & harmless solution to my tummy problem.

Vanquish treatment: Before & After

The cost :
If your problem is larger, they recommend 6 times package costing $1500-
For me, small problem, I only did 3 sessions , each session cost only $300-

 I cannot believe it could be so easy to shape the body now. Well if there's an area in your body that exercise & diet have failed, I totally recommend this BTL Vanquish treatment! It's cheap & effective:)

Laugh & Grow Thin :))

You cannot go wrong with this show!

You can still lose weight even if you are lazy ....lol... not kidding! Hmmmmm.... dont believe me?

Well, first you seriously need to have a good sense of humor.
According to experts, 15 minutes of laughing out loud burns about 50 calories. In other words, you can tune in to a good comedy ,laze on your couch & start laughing. It would be like a training session. Better than going out in the hot sun:)

Each belly laugh tenses up to 75% of your core muscles & raises your heart rate as high as 10 minutes on a rower.

I'll recommend shows like Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, 30 Rock or The Office.

Why we should eat slowly

You'll lose weight just by eating slower. 
Eating slowly can boost levels of hormones that makes you feel a lot fuller. 
That way, you can skip dessert!

If you "gobble'' down a meal, you tend to eat more & also it's pretty stressful & unhealthy.
Eating slowly aids digestion.

Besides all that, you get to taste & appreciate the food :))
Bon appétit ....

Eat slowly :))

Surprising weight gain culprits !!!

Food and exercise aren't the whole diet story. A slew of stealthy, often surprising weight gain culprits could be causing the scale to creep upward. Beware!!!!

Artificial sweeteners.
A recent Purdue University study compared two sets of rats: those fed liquid spiked with saccharin, others fed liquid sweetened with natural sugar. When both groups were later given a sugary snack, the rats accustomed to artificial sweeteners ate more. "Our bodies have ways of judging how many calories a food has from how it tastes, and artificial sweeteners may mess up that natural regulating process," says Susan Swithers, PhD, associate professor of psychological sciences at Purdue and one of the study's lead authors.

 The solution: "We're not suggesting you give up your diet soda at this point," Swithers says. But if you consume artificially sweetened products, pay extra attention to the calorie count of everything you eat, especially snacks with real sugar.

Missing meals.
Research shows that people who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight, and that morning meals seem to help those who've lost weight keep it off. It's not just breakfast, either: Skipping meals of any kind results in a "tremendous bout of compensatory hunger."

 The solution: Eat small meals throughout the day. A steady nutrient intake will keep your blood sugar relatively constant, helping prevent out-of-control binges.

Dining out.
We tend to eat more when we dine out.

The solution: Eating out is fine, as long as you don't use it as a frequent license to indulge. Choose your entrees wisely, and share your meal!!!!
