Sticking to your fitness goals
Well that is not an easy thing, is it? For people like me, the serpent needn’t try very hard to tempt me away from the good stuff. While good health is its own reward, tucking into E-number-less fare can sometimes be extremely, well, boring. This is why it is considered a good idea to incorporate...
Break Time!
And so I fell off the wagon. Spectacularly, I might add! Yes, I, who had been so diligent with the new diet and exercise routine, finally cracked last Monday. It was half-term week and my son was home from school the whole week. As a treat I was making the kids homemade burgers and curly...
Low Carb Pizza
When can a pizza be called a “low carb” pizza? When the base is made of eggs, soft cheese and nothing much else. Ever since I embraced the low carb way, UK cookery book author Rose Elliot has been my savior. Her “Vegetarian Low Carb Cooking” has become my bible, the one book I rely...
One month on…
So it has been a month since I started my new regime. I signed up with a NCCA accredited fitness trainer and nutrition coach who gave me a totally new workout and eating plan. No more counting calories, he said. Well, that was a first. Less carbs, more protein, more good fats has been the...
What beast is this low carbing?
If that is the first question that pops into your mind, then why don’t you come in and make yourself comfortable. Now, at the outset, let me make it clear that I am a student, trying to learn more about this concept and follow it so by no means take what I say to be...
Day 6: A New Challenge
Today was not a regular day. Every day the past week, I made sure I was at home so I could get used to my diet and fitness routine. After 5 such days, today was a challenge as I had to leave at the crack of dawn (well, it was real dark when I left...
Day 2: food diary
As the main part of my diet is made of proteins now, with vegetables following most of the rest of it, coming up with meal plans should be a breeze. Well, not exactly! I am a vegetarian and have few proper protein sources that don’t pack in a lot of carbs too. So it is...
And so it begins…
I have tried various methods to try and lose weight. I am carrying an excess of at least 15 kilos and it is time I lost them. Not purely for vanity factor but also for health reasons. Carrying so much bulk can’t be good for me and it is time I got rid of it....
End of Challenge
When I started this, I wanted to see how much weight I can lose in the 50 days between Diwali 2010 and Christmas 2010. Well the answer was 7 pounds. I would have been happier had it been a wee bit more but I am not unhappy as I HAVE LOST 7 LBS!! I shall...
Bye Bye, Slimming World
Well I sent an e-mail yesterday to the team leader / consultant whatever you call her. I felt that the Slimming World approach and me don’t see eye to eye much. I will always be thankful that it gave my weight loss a kick start but I don’t think it is a methodology I can...
Week 3
Okay HUGE jump from day 3 to week 3, I know. But hey – good news! I lost 4 pounds the first week and at the end of the second week, I lost 1.6 lbs despite falling off the wagon a few times during the week, so I am well chuffed. And, I am under...
