10 Principles for An Everyday Diet

Another programme I caught recently is The A-List Diet with Celebrity Food Doctor, Ian Marber, on Discovery Home & Health.

The two episodes I caught were both women. After 10 weeks, the first one lost a stone or 6.35kg, and went from 44% to 43% body fat. The other who was just 21 years old, lost 5kg and went from 39% to 37% body fat. They were most happy when out shopping and realised they had lost a dress size or two :)

The A-List Diet consists of 2 parts. The first is a 7-Day Detox that will also help to shrink the size of your stomach: "it consists of a lot of soups, and does away with simple carbs, stimulants (caffeine and alcohol) and saturated fats.

Afterwhich, if you can survive without tea and/or coffee, you follow the 10 Principles:

  1. Eat protein along with complex carbs.
  2. Stay hydrated by drinking 6 – 8 glasses of water.
  3. Eat a wide variety of food.
  4. Eat a little food often, or a small meal every 3 hours.
  5. Eat breakfast; I can't stress how important this is!
  6. Avoid sugar.
  7. Exercise 3 times a week for 30mins.
  8. Follow the 80/20 rule - a small treat (like 2 squares of dark chocolate) for every 5th meal is ok :P
  9. Take your time to eat; dun rush!
  10. Eat fat to lose fat, that is healthy fat from olive oils, omega-3 (like fat fish), and nuts.

Ok, now go lose some of that bulge!

So many false prophets

I was recommended this video by my YouTube algorithms: From New Age Witchcraft to JESUS (Testimony) . It got me rather glued to it even though I was not feeling well: body ache, headache, and chills.   Jessica grew up Catholic. She was sexually abused at the age of seven, suppressed that memory, and sexually abused other female peers, in the form of a game. When she was 15, she got involved in a relationship that became more abusive. As the same time she got involved in drugs, drinking, partying, etc. When she was about 18, she nearly died from a suicide attempt and was admitted to a hospital where she met a woman who was into new-age stuff. One thing led to another and she became a light witch. However, she was still doing the drugs, drinking, partying and got raped one night (14:45). That was when I had to pause the video and broke down.  In her new-age thing, Jesus was supposedly an "ascended master" and "spirit guide", so she called on Jesus to heal her and teac

6 Simplicity Tips

I recently posted a couple of comments on Facebook that surprisingly gathered a lot of likes. Since it was a closed group, I thought I would share them here. The OP was: " Please share a simplicity tip that you wish everyone knew because it has helped you a lot. " Use your gadgets until they spoil or become obsolete.  Eat well with everything in moderation, at the table, and take your time, so you'll know when you are full and should stop eating.  Put in effort to know your loved ones and spend more time with them, especially the older folk, you'll miss them when they're gone.  Read a book, and keep reading it if you like it, otherwise move on; there are too many books to read in one lifetime.  Pray, even if you don't think God's listening or believe in Him. Don't dress to impress others; dress to feel good about yourself as you go about your day, because your smile is always your best accessory.
