Formula to a Slimming Lifestyle

1. Live the ESSENCE of Life

Eat 3 proper meals a day – Try as much as possible to reduce snacking between meals. Make sure your meals consumed are High fiber, Low carbohydrates, and Low fat. Have a good heavy breakfast, this is when you body can absorb all the nutrition from the food. Have an average lunch, and a small dinner. Make sure that there is at least 4 hours interval between dinner and bedtime. Food not digested properly and brought to bed will stress out your digestive system. If you are hungry before bedtime, have a liquid meal.
Supplements – Vitamins and Minerals are basic necessity in our modern day lifestyle. We are eating processed food that contains preservatives, colorings, flavorings, and pesticides. The basic nutritional value is insufficient from our daily diet. Therefore, supplements are meant to fill in the blanks that are missing.
Sleep at least 6 to 8 hours a day – This will help your body to produce Human Growth Hormone (HGH) naturally to facilitate in restoration and repair of tired and damage body cells. However, age can be a factor in the reduction of HGH production.
Exercise at least 20 minutes a day – If you have no time, simple exercises like walking up the stairs or around the neighborhood for 20 minutes would help. The main concept here is a dedicated period of time with a focused mind on exercising.
Naturally Hydrate (Drink) with clean water – Drink at least 8 glasses (2 liters) of pure water per day. This means no harmful drinks at all. Harmful drinks are referring to Coffee, Tea, Alcohol, and Can drinks. Water provides cleansing as well as moisturizing effect to the body. If lack water, toxin will be accumulated within the body.
Cleanse your body regularly – This is more than just brushing your teeth, shampooing of hair, and taking shower. Internal body cleansing is a must to ensure toxins are being removed from internal organs on a regular basis. Otherwise it will develop into health challenges. E.g. Cancer, Heart Diseases, Obesity …etc.
Exclude anything that is harmful – This refers to anything that is a stimulant to the body. E.g. Alcohol, Coffee, Tea, Soft drinks, Drugs abuse (prescription & non-prescription), Unhealthy lifestyle …etc.

In a slimming program, supplements can help us get to our desired target weight at a faster paste. However, regular maintenance is necessary to ensure that we don’t bounce back to the original state. Therefore, the supplements used for slimming can cut down in dosage, but taking upon ourselves a new lifestyle is the basic requirement.

2. Liquid diet once a day

Choose a meal that you think you are eating most unhealthily; replace it with a liquid meal. Fruits and cereals can be used to supplement the liquid meal to make it a little more filling.
Most Singaporean would skip breakfast, have brunch and a heavy dinner at night. This is very bad. Your body will go into a famine stage and start storing food whenever it can, which will result in obesity.

3. Juice Fast once a month (No food, juice only!)

Have a 24 Liquid/Juice Fast to cleanse your intestinal system.
This will allow your body to rest from the heavy digestive duty, yet at the same time not feeling too hungry from lack of food.
Do not use high acidic fruits like citrus or tomato.
It is recommended that fruits or vegetables like carrot, grape, celery, and apple are excellent choice.
Drink as much liquid as possible to flush out all the toxin from the body.

4. Supplements

Detoxification program – This includes liver and colon cleansing.
Balance program – Basic nutrition is necessary as well as strengthening the immune system.
Nourish program – Recognize your own physical weakness and build it up.
Protect program – Strengthen your immune system to prevent falling ill.

5. Timing to Eat

Eating the right food at the right time of the day helps your body to reserve energy for detoxification. This process helps your body to achieve the desired weight within a reasonable period.

Timing	Bodily Process	Recommendation
0400 hrs – 1200 hrs	Elimination	Healthy food – Fruits & Juices
1200 hrs – 2000 hrs	Appropriation	Normal food – Eat as you like
2000 hrs – 0400 hrs	Assimilation	No solid food – Juices & healthy drinks

6. Ten Slimming Strategies

I	Make whole, unprocessed grains, vegetables, beans and fruit the mainstays of your food plan. Add small amounts of animal protein – lean meat, poultry, fish (up to 100 grams per day) – and 2 daily servings of nonfat diary products.
Ii	Until you’ve achieved your weight-loss goal, steer clear of dry foods such as bread, crackers, pretzels and other flour products.
Iii	Avoid foods that contain a significant amount of fat, which is the most kilojoule-dense substance in the food supply.
Iv	To lose weight, eat more, not less – fruit and vegetables that is.
V	Don’t drink your kilojoules; eat them. Sugar-sweetened soft drinks, fruit juices and alcoholic beverages contribute kilojoules without creating a sense of fullness.
Vi	Eat water instead of drinking it. Food such beans, whole grains and whole-wheat pastas absorb most of the water they’re cooked in, and they’re rich in fiber, They fill you up and have staying power. Drinking enough water is necessary for good health, but as a dieting strategy simply drinking water won’t appease your hunger.
Vii	Sequence your food selection during meals. Eat the foods that have the lowest kilojoule density first. Salads with fat-free dressings, steamed vegetables and broth-based vegetable soups will fill you up and leave less room in your stomach for higher-kilojoule-dense foods.
viii	Eat frequently. 3 full meals a day, along with 2 or 3 low-kilojoule-dense snacks between meals, will control hunger.
ix	Avoid refined sugar; satisfy your sweet tooth with fruits.
x	To boost metabolism and burn more kilojoules, walk 3 to 4 kilometers per day, at a moderate pace, over a 30- to 45-minute period.
