Our slimming consultant advised us to get the book "Fit For Life" so that we can make adjustments to our lifestyle. Since we have not exercised for so long and indulged in good food all these while, the treatments are to help us get rid of all the fats and cellulite and give us a shapelier figure. How we maintain after that is due to our diet, lifestyle and exercise routine.
If possible, I may be getting the book tomorrow. It will be a busy weekend for me. In the morning, I will be going to the law firm as the lawyer I will be working for wishes to speak to me. I have not signed any letter of offer whatsoever, but if I go, they may deem I accept the job. Which means I start work on Tuesday. But in that case, if throughout the week a better offer comes along, will I be playing them out if I suddenly accept the better offer?
On Sunday, my family will be having Japanese food for lunch to celebrate my brother's eighteenth birthday. After which, I will be going down to support the Hair For Hope Charity of the Children's Cancer Foundation. I will also be meeting a teaching friend of mine. At night, I hope to be able to watch "Cabaret".
I have looked through some resources and found more diet plans for us. The very first endorsement is water. Every book and journal preaches about drinking two litres of water everyday. Which is never a problem as I do drink about that amount of water daily.
Apparently, having a sensible diet not only keeps one slim and healthy, it also gives one a clear and beautiful complexion and silky hair. So to be beautiful, one must eat right, but then, this is all common knowledge, only that some people choose to ignore and continue indulging.
The book I looked through recommends the following as a good typical day's diet:
Breakfast - A glass of unsweetened fruit juice, a bowl of unsweetened whole grain cereal, topped with a chopped banana and semi-skimmed milk, two slices of whole wheat toast with a scraping of low-fat spread.
Lunch - Baked potato, fillied with low-fat cottage cheese and plenty of fresh raw salad, one low-fat yoghurt.
Dinner - Grilled or broiled fish or chicken, with boiled brown rice and plenty of steamed vegetables. Fresh fruit salad, topped with natural yoghurt and nuts.
Why do none of the menus mention red meat? And all resources do not recommend eating after eight in the evening. At times, it is hard to adapt healthy eating habits into our current lifestyle. Considering the yuppie way of life, we work until late, and go out and socialise or entertain after working hours. Is it possible to have three balanced meals a day at certain times?

Hi, its actually preferably to have 5 small meals a day- as opposed to 3. Actually half the time, we only have one main meal- dinner- Not good.
Red meat is essential for women- it contains iron- a small plate of lean steak is equal to the 5 big plates of spinach. Try and not skip breakfast- and do have a good hot cup of green tea! I'd like to start off with porridge with sweet potato or hot oats porridge with some honey. I guess you can then snack for morning tea with a museli bar and a cup of coffee, then a quick lunch with (brown) rice, afternoon comes maybe a banana and another cup of hot tea or coffee (no sugar), then we end the day with dinner (minus the carbo like rice/potato). A small greenbean (no sugar) soup might do for supper.
Howzat?
