Burn Fats Fast: You eat healthily but why are you still FAT
?
For anybody planning to embark on a weight loss plan, watching your diet is one of the inevitable action items in your plan. Eat whole grains; checked, discard your sodas; checked, reduce consumption frequency of fried food and fast food; checked.
As for balancing the weight loss equation, you know that for fast fat loss, you have to workout as well. The dreaded M for metabolism, or rather, slowing metabolism to be more precise, kicks in when you know your birthday starts to add up. What worked previously might not be working well now. In other words, you may need to up your workout frequency or intensity in order for you to blast those fats effectively.
That was exactly what I was doing a couple of months ago. Colleagues marvel over the change they saw in me. A few were inspired to kick start their weight loss plans after they saw the change in me. I guess my belly fats were the first to react as they had reportedly seen a slightly shrunk belly in me.
Things however started to change after that, I realized that the weighing scale refused to budge no matter how hard I tried. I used to run home from work and clocked about 3.2km because if I do not make a conscious effort to exercise, I never will. In view of accelerating my fat loss efforts, I have decided to change my schedule and clock in 5.2km instead. The fact that my weight still hovers around the same figures set me thinking of what went wrong.
I began to review my diet. All this while, it seems that my efforts put into losing fats fast are tantamount to maintaining and not losing those extra fats which should be the desired case. I kept a food journal for the next 2 weeks or so and realized that I have been drinking fruit juices everyday for lunch.
Isn't fruit juice supposed to be healthy? You may ask. Yes indeed, you need your dose of vitamin C and fiber from daily intake of fruits. However, not all fruits are equal. For e.g. durians and banana are fruits high in calories. I have forgotten that fruits contain fructose (which is a type of simple sugar which the body can use for energy.) Small amounts in fruits are not a bad thing but I guess moderate is the key here. When we juice fruits as opposed to eating pieces of cut fruits, the quantity is larger which means that we end up eating more.
In addition, vendors may secretly add syrup to make their juices taste sweet without your knowledge and I think I ended up consuming more sugar unknowingly. When I had ordered orange and passion fruit juice, I had chanced upon vendor combining the pre-mix passion fruit juice in the fridge with the freshly juiced oranges. This despite the fact the vendor had claimed that no sugar has been added to their juices.
It so happened that my colleague visited the same stall and ordered an avocado drink. To our horror, we tasted Gula Melaka (coconut palm sugar) which the vendor insisted that this enhances the flavour of the drink. Again, this was a pre-mix drink which is stored in the fridge. I guess one thing to take note of when buying juices is to ensure that the vendor juice the fruits in front of you. I get a feeling that these pre-mix juice are being sweetened and you end up consuming more sugar (from the added quantity of juice from fruits as well as sweeteners) Well, not that eating fruits is discouraged, a better alternative is to eat whole pieces of sliced fruits which is a better bet at controlling hidden intake of sugar.
I slowly discovered another bad habit of mine which is sabotaging my fat loss efforts. I have a penchant for beverages (minus sodas; this is something which I have successfully eschewed from my diet) and I always go for fruit juices, be it freshly squeeze or packet fruit juices. It just seems like my brain is being programmed to stock up packet fruit juices instead of opting for plain water after my 5km runs. Sure, these packet juices are low in sugar but downing a litre of such packet juices every time I complete my run (at least thrice a week) is probably quietly negating my efforts to lose those fats!
One last thing that I had identified as saboteur, tah dah..my daily dose of coffee! I can almost see your eyes lighten up as I guess this is something common for most of us to start our typical day with. Bearing in mind that my coffee here is not referring to you regular dose of cappuccino from Starbucks! Singapore has its own version of the local kopi (coffee in local terms). Below is a list of names to help readers understand the difference between our local kopi from the coffee shop and your regular caf. I have been advocating the method of substitution to replace regular milk with skim milk for that cuppa or always choose the lesser of the evil. I was wrong with my choice this time. If you are keen to find out just what is it about local kopi that is derailing my efforts, do find out the answer from my blog!
