FAT: FABULOUS or FATAL?

The decision to do my BLOG on weight and related health issues was based upon 1) my personal interest in the issue; 2) the desire to raise a non too serious issue; 3) the fact that we r bombarded with info on this topic; and 4) the reality: let's face it - it is indeed an issue central to many lives. What I have found is that the issue is indeed a VERY SERIOUS (read: could be lethal) one (apologies). Someone(?) once said that one can never be too rich or too thin. Dunno about the first part (probably true) but am still contemplating the second. Hope to find answers with a little help from ur input.

U R WHAT U EAT


So, let’s say u have finally decided that u wanna look like one of the girls in the swimsuit ad or, if u r a guy, like the TV3 deodorant hunk who has to fight off equally good-looking females. The first step is the easier one – start looking at what u put into ur body. Or … IS it that easy?

Sureslim claims it can change ur life. This scientific eating program is based upon the blood test results of each individual and if u r motivated, u will also not mind putting ur money where ur motivation lies.

WeightWatchers is regarded as a leader in the field of weight loss and has been around for quite a while. U can read just about everything u need to know about their Turnaround programme, a three point programme which makes a lot of sense, but beware – u r assigned daily eating points and have to stick to that. Some maths involved here!

There is more bad news: How u eat is also important. U r well on ur way to become an expert on weight management if u have scanned ur way though the Fitness Jumpsite. One of the tips offered by the dietitians is to eat small portions, more often. The ideal seems to be six to seven meals per day! They also caution against expectations of big results too fast. Why does everything lead to small steps … and … Buzz Aldrin? Don’t even think about it! Time to take another look at the beautiful (thin/healthy) people in the TV ads and hit the food isles with ur carefully-planned shopping list.

hi Christel

just curious, have you ever seen or known someone that actually use this programme and it worked ?

My neighbour, she is European kiwi, chubby, she used to be working and earn big money she told me weightwatchers programme worked with her but she couldn't afford it after she left the previous job coz the weightwatchers's food prices are higher than normal food and she said it's a pain that she had to get up earlier to prepare lunch box coz she can't just eat off the food court near work....haha. I guess that's how women struggle when they want to become slim.
