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...

Mission Trip to Padang

It was the time to clear my annual leave. As I was torn between Japan and New Zealand, that Sunday, I took the bulletin from OLPS and saw a post for this mission. The dates were good, the price was right, so I sent an email the next day. A couple of days later, I got a response. I was in!  After the first briefing and the formation, I felt mentally prepared for the trip to Padang. Being vain, I brought only 3/4 and long sleeves, to prevent patchy tanning, old trackpants and old sports shoes as my site-gear. It was gonna get muddy. The time to meet was a ridiculous 5.30am, but I made it. After check-in, we went to grab some breakfast. We were going to have Indonesian food all the way, so I had O'Briens. Sharon, my ex-coursemate from Poly, was my roommate. It was a real coincidence! So we had breakfast together, and just about did almost everything together. We were also the youngest in the group. Winie was a few years older but she was very soft-spoken. Marion and Naomi were a lit...
