Journey to Skinnyville #3

After mentioning all my favorite things about working out, here is the real reason why I signed up to this commitment...

FOOD!!!

I love food too much to go on a diet, seriously. I can't stand a hungry stomach. I can't think straight when I am hungry, sometimes I can't even smile when my stomach is growling. I have it all, breakfast, lunch and dinner. You think I can resist chicken rice if it's laid out in front of me? Fat hopes...

Food is the main essential for your body to build energy. In my younger days, I use to starve myself for weeks, yes I did lose weight fast, but what I did not notice or care back then was, yes I did lose weight, but was my body healthy? When you deprive your body of (healthy) food, you directly depriving it from necessary nutrients as well. It won't be so pretty anymore when you suffer from other things like gastritis and all day lethargy.

So my advice to you is eat, not over-eating but just eat. When you are on a consistent and disciplined work-out routine, you have nothing to worry. Will you achieve your goal of having a hot body still? Yes, you will. Because while you work out and eat normally, you will actually be building more muscles instead on piling on fats.

So how do you do it in a not-overeating way? I litterally live to the saying "Breakfast like a king, Lunch like a prince and Dine like a pauper". My meals consist of not much rice or noodle (of any sort). Lucky for me because I love greens and I am ok with cutting down on red meat. I have a new found favorite too, I love fish.

With constant work out, I am able to feast on all my favorite foods *chicken rice, steamed fish, sambal belacan* while enjoying a fitter body with firmer body parts... bliss...
