Anyway, it’s time to pick up where I left off, time to hit the gym soon. There’ll be a slight change in my workout routine, where I’ll make good use of the secret one set technique to save time and make each gym session more productive.

Green tea my friends, have a lot of benefits when it comes to weight loss. Compared to coffee that can actually make you go fatter, green tea is almost the exact opposite making it one of the best natural weight loss drinks to be consumed. The best part is, it comes without all the negative side effects. The only known side effect of green tea is insomnia due to the caffeine in it but this is nothing compared to the amount of caffeine found in coffee.
Green tea, when combined with other weight loss food and activities, can help you lose weight significantly. Eat healthily, exercise on a regular basis and add green tea to your daily diet and you could be looking at the most effective weight loss methods ever. Not only will you lose weight fast, you’ll also enjoy the many other benefits of green tea.
Let’s dive into this further, green tea is a very powerful anti-oxidant drink and it reduces the risk of cancer. It prevents bladder cancer, breast cancer, oesophageal cancer, colorectal and lung cancer, pancreatic, skin, and prostate cancer, and stomach cancer. Besides all that, let’s see what it does to your body in helping you lose weight.
Green tea boosts your metabolism thus stimulating your body to burn calories at a much faster pace. A particular study conducted by American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proved that all people who had regular intake of green tea and caffeine were burning calories at a much quicker pace in comparison to those who did not have them.
Plus, green tea improves your digestive and bowel movements and it protects your liver against various toxic substances. This is why it prevents liver cancer. It also reduces your cholesterol level and helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis. It also boosts your immunity system to give you an improved mental health.
Wait, there’s more! Green tea is very effective in controlling your blood sugar level. By maintaining your blood sugar level with green tea, you won’t feel hungry so fast, making you eat less and further helps you to lose weight. Green tea is one of the best natural diet suppressant that comes with many other health benefits instead of side effects like what other manufactured diet suppressants out there.

Sigh…..still a little sick, I think I need more sleep, more rest, and definitely less work in order to get better. Anyways, breakfast was slightly heavy today, and lunch was back to cereals, yummy…
Today I committed a BIG weight loss sin - I skipped a meal!
How is that a sin? Well, skipping meals will only lead to one thing, you get hungrier and you binge on the next meal feeling it’s ok coz you’ve skipped the meal before right? WRONG!
It’s the worst that could happen, you lose balance and by binging on the next meal, your body gets much more food than it requires, leading to a lot of wastage turning into extra fats!
Sigh……
It started with breakfast…
Breakfast was ok, errr the sausage, we only had 2 left, so we cut it into a few pieces and shared hehehe
Then, I skipped lunch coz I was too busy working, I almost skipped dinner too, until it was at about 9.30 pm and I had a little bit of time to eat, and so I ate. Skipped lunch, dinner at 9.30pm, you can only imagine how much I would love to eat a nice meal at that time, and so I did…
I had fried rice (carbo!), black pepper pork belly soup and chinese tea
Now those food don’t sound like something one would have when undergoing a weight loss plan do they? lol
The level of obesity is at an all time high at the moment especially in America. From statistics collected, the average weight loss experienced by those who were on a diet plan were a mere 5-8 pounds annually. To investigate the matter further, a small survey was carried out on the subject matter and these three came out as the top reasons as to why people fail to lose weight with diets:
1. Low motivation to continue with the diet
2. By skipping meals, they go hungry faster and pig out on the next meal
3. When having bad days, they pig out even more
Let’s look at these weight loss dilemmas and deal with them one by one in order to help you lose weight better, faster and more efficiently.
Low motivation to continue with the diet
When on a diet, it is common to rule out our favorite foods and drinks. We then stick to healthy foods that we usually don’t really like. With an arrangement like this, it is very easy to start feeling bored and sick of the same old boring food. Then they usually start asking, “Why am I torturing myself like this?” Most dieters can’t answer this question properly! In a nutshell, their intentions to lose weight is not clear and they don’t have enough motivation to continue with their weight loss journey.
One of the best ways to deal with this problem is to use the “Cheating Method”. I talk about this method a lot in my system but in a short paragraph, here’s what it means…
You need to have an objective which is bigger than weight loss, something very personal to you. Once you find that objective, you need to set up a scenario where you can only get there through losing weight successfully. When you plan out your weight loss like that, your motivation is no longer to lose weight but to achieve that bigger goal, losing weight is just a tool to get there. This is why it’s called “The Cheating Method”
