diet tips #1 : bloated tummy

as everybody knows, im not a skinny chick. i have thick hips, thick waist, thick arms, almost every inch of my body is thick/phat/flabs and whatever you may call it.

so 2010 is definitely a "wake up call" year. from the beginning of the year me and my friends have started to regain our consciousness from eating like there's no tomorrow. throughout the year, we girls have come up with our own method/formula to start dieting. there's a phase where we promise ourselves to drink only mineral water, eat dinner before 7pm, avoid rice and became obsessed with the gym and exercise videos.

we actually succeed, but it was really hard to maintain as we live in different places and environment but until now we did try our best to keep up with our diet promises. but nevertheless, im a proud mama of my girls! we should keep this up!

so now i've been start dieting for like 2 weeks and i manage to shed a few kilos that i will never reveal here.haha. not much difference as im BIG in size and i still have a long way to go but i hope i can maintain this diet longer than the previous one. bleurgh!

so to keep myself motivated, im gonna share some of the interesting diet tips on my blog. yeay! hope the readers will like it and be motivated. good luck darlings!



diet tips #1 : how to beat bloated tummy?

  • Never mix two carbs in the same meal. This means no rice and potato or pasta and potato at once and remember to keep the potion small.
  • Keep an eye for your fat intake. If you cook meat make the meat as lean as possible by cutting off any excess fat and go for low-fat, high protein snacks (nuts and berries).
  • Fibre is good but it can lead to excess gas, so go easy.
  • Smoking and chewing gum are major contributors to bloating as they allow lots of air into the stomache. It's about time to quit smoking fellas.
  • Avoid booze as much as you can as the yeast and sugar in wine are belly bloat's BFF's. Ah! Runnnn!
  • Chew food at least 10 times before swallowing. This speeds up digestion and means you're less likely to swallow air.
  • Eat your food slowly or your tummy wouldn't have time to produce enough acid to digest what you just ate.
  • Lay off the fizzy drinks (yes, no coke, sprite, 100plus and etc). They introduce more air into the stomach.
  • Limit sugar intake especially those in fruits and juices, which can create more gas when they ferment and result in bloating.
  • Steer clear of salt. It causes your body to retain water.
  • Keep calm. Getting stressed disrupts the muscular contractions that move gas through your stomach.

Do Not Afraid To Cheat!
Never be too proud to take a few painless shortcuts to looking fabulous

  • Shapewear is not just for curvy girls. Get a sleek silhouette with a pair of control knickers . They are not nearly as uncomfortable as they look. i promise! my personal favourite is SPANX!
  • Dress for your bodyshape and avoid bright colours that draw attention to lumpy bits. There's a reason black is always in fashion. *coughs*
  • I know it screams painful but trust me, a killer heels will lengthen your legs and give your calves a toned look. If im skinny i swear i'll wear heels all the time. super sex-ay!
  • Give yourself an instant waist by cinching your dress with a wide belt. But beware, right colour and motifs is needed.

Try this out girls! Good luck everybody!
