The Magic weight reduction technique

Posted by Neerod

It is really simple:
Move more and Eat less.
It was simple to type it in at least, but I am sure that many would agree that this is by far the most difficult thing to do. I have a colleague who has even resorted to taking biscuits/skipping lunch altogether. In the end whether this will be a successful attempt remains doubtful. I personally see it more as a psychological issue then of a physical one. If you believe you are fat, and be mentally stuck with the notion -then you will never come to be in good shape. Thus the first rule is to think fit and try to behave accordingly. This, if you follow my logic, will mean more movement -expenses of that heavy calorie intake diet you just took there. which leads me to the second rule: change your food habit, gradually. Do not go into a overnight reduction of all yummy foods into nothingness -our bodies are not built like that. Human body is adaptable -let it adapt to the food habit change gradually. Start taking chapatis (rotis) at dinner instead of rice (thanks Lily for the great advice), it works. Take more fruits and vegetables. See, this will change in taste buds means that there will be a significant drop in our calorie intake as our bodies are not used to take these different diets. Once you have these two rules in motion, go for little freehand exercises. Start taking those morning jogs that you could never get up to. you will feel better. And in the end of the month, take a look at the scales -you will be happy with the result in the scales and in the mirror as well (provided your integrity in following the rules is out of question :p)

Couldn't agree anymore with the article.

However, allow me to update you on the lunch practice of your beloeved colleague, whose example you have cited in the blog. True, he has resorted to taking biscuits as "lunch" in the office. But that's just the story of one side. In the name of "ciggi break", he visits Margarita and on average consumes one large bowl of thai soup and a family-size fish roll as his "light lunch". You would find many colleagus who have witnessed this voracious eating habit of his.

I would also suggest "him" and others to follow the advice of the blog and I believe it really works.

The angle of sustainability is well covered ;) In fact I was thinking of taking that kind of approach. Nice writing.

I know a colleague who has just fallen short of being 'kather putul vondul' because of his utter dislike for truth. We should be careful from him as he always tries to destroy reputation of people who likes honest and true persons. The reason for saying so is a comment that caught my eye. Utter exaggration about eating habit!!!

A distinguishing trait of many "big shots" of our country is that the more adept they are in preaching, the less inept they are in practicing ……

resisting temptation is way too much for them :(

case in place: vanishing food (i.e. - biscuit) stocks from secret hideouts
