Stay Slim Even AFTER Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year.

It's the time of the year to diet so that you can look your best while visiting your relatives and friends. Alas, after 2 days of visiting, good food and seasonal feasts, most people end up gaining more weight than they lost after that.

My physical fitness instructor friend told me that almost 100% of her clients gain 1-3kg during the CNY festive season. If that is one worry you are worrying about, here are some tips for keeping yourself slim during CNY ;)

1) Drink a glass of water 30 minute before each meal.
Before each meal, drink a glass of water 30 minutes before. Sometimes, our body may mistake thirst for hunger so it is good to drink some water before your meal so that you will not overeat...

2) Drink a fibre drink 30 min before each meal
If water does not satisfy you, taking a fibre product 30 minute before each meal is likely to keep you full and fulfilling and you will thus tend to eat less. A good source of fibre would be HUNZA Fibre Plus or HUNZA Life Enhancer (which is not only filling but also helps to increase metabolic rate to promote burning of fats, prevents absorption of fats AND also removes existing fats in your colon.

3) Sit near the vegetables
When you are seated near the vegs, you have a higher chance of eating more vegetables. It is always good to take more vegs as compared to the rich foods like meats and seafoods (which are much for fattening than fats).

4) Share the sinful food with someone else
If you have an eating kaki, better still! Share all the sinful foods you would like with someone else who is not afraid of putting on weight. Eg, your other half or your bf.. let them take a huge portion and just leave smaller portions on your plate for you to fulfill your taste buds.

5) Keep track of the amount of foods and snacks you take
You will thus be able to be more concious of your intake and thus cut down when necessary.

6) Stay away from soft drinks and beer
Drinking an excessive amount of soft drinks and beer during CNY can add on to your beer belly as well! Because they are high in sugar levels and carbo, you will tend to put on even more easily when you eat other goodies together with them.

7) When all else fails, do a detox right after Chinese New Year!
Lose all the extra weight you have gained easily with a simple 5 day detox programme called Juz 5. Lose up to 5kg within 5 days and feel and look different!
