Are You sure?

Too many believes and myth have been going about.. but which is the truth and which is not. let's see........

No 1. I would say the myth of "if u hog out today you can burnt it off with a super duper intense workout tomorrow" is WRONG. Sorry to say that, and I know it's very de-motivational to announce that bt its the truth and I don't want to see people just ruin their health by doing so. i know to a lot of people, it feels awesome and less guilty to think of such.. hahaha... bt trust me when i say, what u eat today will be stored up and when you burn them off tomorrow, probably it's just 10% of what you eat yesterday and 50% of what you eat today. (I repeat, probably) If you don't believe, think of it this way. If you eat twice as full today, will you still feel full if you don't eat tomorrow? Ahh... some would say, then i eat less tomorrow... then your metabolism would decrease in turn it will store more fats cause it can't burn off the calories, carbs and fats. And when you workout, your body will draw its supply from your muscles' proteins and in turn u burn up your muscles and store fats as reserved energy. so always eat moderately, correctly and be truthful to yourself.

No 2. "the harder / longer you run the more fats you burn" WRONG again... well, truth to a certain point. If you run / jog or any sorta cardio for 15 minutes (done in an interval way) you boost up ur metabolism to burn fats.. then the longer you run, the supply in ur body depletes (you won't feel hungry... bt ur body does subconsciously) and it will then turn to your muscles again. feeding off the proteins. so proper supply of nutrients if you intend to run for a longer period.

No 3. "Eating less meals help you lose weight" SUPER DUPER KADUPER WRONG .. 1st thing 1st.. by eating less mean u starve ur body off any nutrients for the organs to function properly and furthermore, without anything in the intestine acidic liquid will be released and if this prolongs, its going to cause stomach ulcer. Then... as usual, its a taboo for any1 into fitness because without nutrients, the body's metabolic rate will decrease and it won't burn fats and again... it's feeding on your muscles. so even if the numbers on the scale decrease, it don't mean ur slimmer. It just means u've turn into a slim fatty person as the weight decreased is from your muscle weight.

No 4. "Training without rest will build more muscles" NEED I SAY MORE? WRONG!! so why is that so? We are not machines and even if we are, machine still need to rest. The number 1 priority to any bodybuilder apart from eating right and train hard is rest plenty. Only when we rest our muscles will grow. Yes! that's right.. our muscle grows when we sleep so the right supplementation during our sleep is essential. but anyways, without proper rest / off day during our workout, you are not giving your muscle time to grow. further stressing your muscles will prevent your muscle to grow to the full potential...... so u better..zzzzzzzzzzzzz .. ops.. fell asleep... lol.... get sum sleep

more to come in the future... cause i've been encountering these for the past few weeks.. so i decide to make it clear.....

Sweet as Sugar

Everyone have sweet tooth but whether you are choosing the right sweetness to fulfill that craving counts... and I mean COUNTS... cause like they say, you are what you eat and what you eat shows visibly. so choose wisely according to reasons and not lust.

But it's definitely easier said than done. So how would we accomplish this "mission impossible" for most people? well, for a start, start walking.... into a supermarket if you are too busy to hit the market early in the morning for fresh fruits... every supermarket carries a wide variety of fruits. go for the basics. Apples which last long and friendly to the taste buds.. furthermore, apples have very minimal glucose level, high in fiber and vitamins. or if you fancy something more exotic and you have a bit more budget, try kiwi and strawberries. Kiwi have more vitamin C compared to most of the other fruits and strawberry are great vitamin C and flavonoids. And berries' a source of natural fat burners. Keep them at reach wherever you are. Pack em and carry them around. to work, to cinema, to school... places where you will be tempted to snack and by keeping the fruits around, you won't be snacking on the wrong foods. it's a start isn't it? forget bout the face or how people's going to view you. trust me, I was being discriminated when i 1st started. all sorts of comments being slapped into my face. but when my physics starts to change for the better, people start questioning my diet in curiosity as to why i eat so much and still able to maintain my physics. but problem is that their doubts and fears are still intact which makes them unwilling to try. I pack my whole days meal to work. all the snacks.. and Im always caught chewing my my bread by the shopping mall bench, sidewalks... which ever place i can think of... well, i don't do the squatting next to the drain no more... hahaha.... gosh, those were the time when i was younger. anyways, there are many parks and nice scenery places to eat your home take away... you just need to take the 1st step.

your task, is to walk up another 10 minutes earlier to make a healthy home take away.. just a simple one would do.
