it's basically the atkins diet! My good friend told me his company got a bunch of folks that does it and it works pretty well. But u need to have determination to go through the whole process, especially the first couple of weeks. -

atkins diet works...
but it turns your liver into a mess, your blood alkaline and toxic, and your veins and arteries clogged with fat...
if that's the price of losing weight, i'd rather not pay it...Originally posted by kops21:atkins diet does work.

Jason lost about 20 kgs over 2 months on the Atkins diet, so it does work. But it has also been proven that men seem to have better results on this diet than women, don't know why.Originally posted by kops21:atkins diet does work.

On the flip side, the Atkins diet has damaged the health of a few and even caused death to a minority who tried it. In summary, a high-protein diet taken over a prolonged period of time causes undue stress on the kidneys as there are high uric acid levels in the body. I don't think I'd want to be a slim and sexy girl with renal impairment problems.
Me may be bwee bwee... but a pretty bwee bwee! hehehe!!! Me just go look for guys who admire the women in Renaissance paintings! -
Speaking of losing weight, a colleague of mine who's a senior nurse, recently told me that her friend had a pharmacist recomment ExTrim to her because it doesn't seem to have any adverse side effects and yet, is effective.
I was going to try it until a patient I have been nursing started to show Liver Function Test results that were abnormal and I overhead a couple of senior doctors talking of possible usage of diet pills and I got scared so, effective or not, no Extrim and what-not for me!
I love food too much to go on a DIE-t anyways... mom and dad said I was already smacking my lips non-stop when I was just a wee baby and dreaming away in my sleep, probably of food! hahaha!! They KNEW I'd grow up to be 'tam chia'.
Then, when I was a mere toddler, everytime grandma went to the kitchen to cook, I would follow and tail her around until I accidentally got stepped on so many times then scolded. Eventually, grandma just got me to help her do stuff to keep me out of her way. So yup, my eating and cooking history began super early! -
Wah!! Smart puppy!!! I really had a great time playing with your puppy the other day!Originally posted by fennymouse:Rhonda, diamond also likes bak gua!!! we gave her a bit to try and she asked for more!!! we are going to make "bak gua" as a reward to her....if she behaves well..... 
Made me want to go and get one too! hehehe!
I guess, I like to take care of animals and hmm... maybe some folks too.
Guess that's why I'm a nurse!
BTW, how's her toilet training going? Last time she left random puddles all over your kitchen floor. -

True, true... better to eat a balanced diet than die a slow, unattractive, torturous death on the atkins or whatever diet pills.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Gout isn't particularly attractive either... Poor health sucks... and bankrupts you too. -

I was at IMH the other day, waiting and waiting for the doctor as USUAL. So took a tour around the building by myself. Anyway how cares about some strange behaviour at IMH.... I saw this poster on the wall on "club303" at IMH - Running Club if you pass their requirement. I was impressed with the number of staffs making it onto club303. At least about 20-30 of them on the wall. I guess the CEO(which is a runner enthusiast) want to inject some kind of healthy lifestyle into the company.
Is it only me, or maybe i am bias, i keep seeing singapore nurses that are bwee swee only those nurses from neighbour countries looks much slim. -
No lah, kops... there are many slim and sexy local nurses around too.Originally posted by kops21:Is there slim & athletic nurse to introduce to me?

However, most of the foreign nurses here are slim and you'll hardly see them bwee one. That's because back in their home countries, eg. China, Philippines, India, they don't indulge as much as we do. Most of them end up having to save a lot so lifestyle-wise, they aren't as blessed as we are over here. However, a few of them have complained that once they came here, if they ate out a lot, they started to gain weight cause our diet here consists of larger portions plus more fried foods and other delicious but unhealthy stuff.
Most of us eat more than the recommended daily servings. Almost all patients complain that the food served in the hospital is not enough and not delicious... well, that's because we usually overeat cause the portions served by hospital kitchens are monitored by dietitians and that's actually the portions we ought to be sticking to everyday. Also, they control the amount of sodium and what-not that is used in the food and the blander food is actually the healthier version.
A lot of us here need to seriously rethink our diets. -
I actually started exercising. hehehe! That's cause I found exercises that I actually enjoyed so I had fun alongside the purpose of working out.Originally posted by Camellias4me:Hiya Rhonda~ Wow.. U noticed my existence.. haha

Actually, I need to pick up on the exercise regimen again. Had become lax recently. I noticed that once you exercised, you'll naturally yearn for healthier food too. It helps to press on the 'calories burnt' button on the cardiovascular machines to see how much calories you've actually burnt doing the torturous exercises then you start to see how much hard work it takes to burn off that cheeseburger / pizza / whatever you had just eaten. It gives you a whole new perspective on your diet altogether.
Camellias, I actually have more weight than you to lose... but am determined to have fun whilst doing it. I always tell myself, hey, a year or so ago, I was in much worse shape. hehe! Little pats on the back always keeps me optimistic! -

Woohoo!! Steeady lah! You're doing very well *claps hands* This new year, my resolution is to lose weight & stay healthy too! (and... umm... to drop 1-2 dress sizes so I can wear the clothes I wore 10 years ago! ) -

A lot of us here need to seriously rethink our diets. that is the reasons we need to exercise more. Sadly exercising is like telling a person he has over eat, which he has the same amount of food for years.
I dont read on the calories burn on the machine as i exercise not to reduce weight, rather to keep fit. Dont treat workout as an exercise, treat it like a daily task like brushing ur teeth. U will find it meaningful and enjoyable.
As long as you enjoy the kind of exercise, it is good. Nevertheless preferably cardio type of exercise. I have folks telling me that playing golf is enough for their exercise. U know it is tiring walking and playing 18 holes leh.... 
I dont know whether to laugh or cry when i heard this.
