Yes, but for me I also have to check the (bad) cholesterol content. Some people are lean but their arteries are all clogged-up... not good! :(

Hi everyone, I'm happy to say that I have lost 18kg since I started the thread last Feb. From 110kg, I'm now 92kg. Actually, I have achieved the 18kg before winter started and it got a bit too cold for me so I started eating more (but NOT much more than needed). I've also lowered the...

I'm halfway my goal... I've lost 16 kg since I started in February... 14-16 kg to go! I must admit it's getting difficult to exercise during winter but I'm hanging onto my daily routine. Clothes (especially pants and jeans) are starting to get loose! :D

Hi BV, Had a second read... I think the diet's fine for me except the no-dinner at night (well for me, anyway...). But what I meant was losing 7kg a week is not for me because, firstly, I think he puts more hours into his training which I don't have; and secondly, I think 7kg in a week...

Wow, I don't think that's for me... I can only manage an hour a day of exercise and my goal is to be healthier rather than bulk-up. I'm also more after flexibility due to my tennis. I find that big muscles and tennis do not mix! :p How may hours does your friend train daily, BV?

Thanks travelbug. The Easyslim diet looks like a healthy one. Good luck and I hope you'll reach your goal come October. :)

Yup, 110/70! Sorry about that... :o At the moment I don't feel dizzy or anything like that... I feel fine.. But if ever I do feel anything, I'll go straight to my GP. I also have one of those digital BP instruments and I take my BP at least once a week. At the moment, the results are...

Hi APK! Fortunately, I haven't quit :D. I have maintained losing between 500 grams to 1 kg each week for the past 12 weeks. I've now lost 12 kg since I started the regimen and to tell you the truth, I don't feel deprived now... it's more of the norm for me. I did say, however, that I would...

Hi Slim, Lost an inch already. ;) It's a start! dwv

Hi Sue, I'm around 5' 9". I didn't have health problems back then when I was in my home country (although still overweight around 90 kg but not obese) but when I came here around 6 years ago, it all started to get out of hand. I gained 20 kgs here the first few months... I was used to walking...

Hi Steve, Thanks for the tips and the link! I will have to re-think my diet and exercise and ask for some professional help.

Hi WW, Ok, got the message - slowly but surely and ask for professional help so as not to further damage my body. Thanks again for all the help. I'll PM you again soon!

Hi Bon, What foods in particular are high in bad carbs? I know bread and rice are high... what else? I've a history of CV disease and right now I have highblood pressure (medicated) and now beginning to have high cholesterol levels (6.8) so I cannot take too much animal protien... what...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the link! I'll have a read later. You're right, I have to be smarter in what I give my body but I also have to have to will and patience to do it! The guy in the picture really looks good at 72!

Hi Winston, I've read your post and this is what I've learnt (with some questions from #4) 1. Too much animal protein can lead to CV disease (which I have family history of). Limit to 300g a week. 2. Limit starchy carbs (bread, rice, pasta) and eat more of fibrous carbs (veggies). I'm...

hi again oscar! ok, i'll plan another meal for next week and incorporate what you said. i do take yopait diet... it's not as sweet as the others but i like the taste. also, i found it to have lesser calories than the others. ok. just finished my exercise. gotta go!

Hi Winston, Thanks for your input... I haven't read all of it but for sure I'll have a read tomorrow. As for professional advice, I haven't got any :(. I just decided to reduce after my annual check-up... I have high blood pressure, cholesterol, uric acid and fatty liver :(. I only read from...

hi james, ok, i'll keep that in mind. maybe today will be may cheat day... my friend invited me to their place for his wifes bday party. :eek: i will test my will tonight. i'll eat but i'll watch the portions and pick sensibly. :rolleyes:

whoa... I'll have to read and reply to the posts to tonight. thanks for the inputs!

I've removed cakes, fruit juices/softdrinks, rice, 2-3 coffee + creme + sugar, cups of rice, chips and chocolates from my daily diet so I think the 1/2 tbsp sugar and the sugar from the yoghurt is enough at the moment to to ease my craving. :o:D. I eat wholemeal or multi-grain bread...
