Food & Ways to Help Lose Weight

This is a request from my friend and so I shall see what I can do. c:

Firstly, if you want to lose weight. Just WATCH YOUR CALORIES. There is no point eating all the healthy food in the world if you do not control the portion you are eating. So, the first step is watch over your calories. Here is a simple calculator for you to check how much calories you need in a day. http://bit.ly/Gb5x8

Second, Eat small frequent meals every 3-4 hours. Let's say your first meal is at 7am, next should be 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. So in total you'll eat 5 meals a day. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE. If you are hungry at night, you can eat but watch what you are eating because you do not want to eat over your daily calorie intake. Here is a link for the top 10 healthy late night snack by Mens Fitness. A spoiler, one of it is DARK CHOCOLATE. c: http://bit.ly/g9tnuQ

Another way to lose those weight is to WAKE UP AND EAT YOUR BREAKFAST! Losing weight is all about playing with your metabolic rate ( body engine). If you do not eat your breakfast, your "engine" would be work slowly but if you eat your breakfast, BOOM! It will turn into a Ferrari engine! Another important thing to keep in mind is SLEEP! Get enough sleep (6-8 hours) and try to sleep early. This is because our bodies growth hormone is released best from 11pm-2am when you sleep. True story.

Now to talk about food. You must be wondering what type of food you should take to lose weight. Well, here is a list of 249 food which will help you lose weight. http://bit.ly/nre0eG

Here are a few things I know. I know Malaysians like to eat rice. Yes. Rice is a good source of carbs but the main problem is high GI food like white rice. Instead of eating white rice, try changing it with brown rice. Brown rice has a lower GI which will keep you full longer and is better compared to white rice. That goes for white bread as well. Change it with a healthier version which is whole-grain bread. Now talking about portion, for rice, just eat one fistful. That is the correct amount of rice you should eat per meal. Even if you eat white rice, just eat one fistful per meal and you will see the difference. c:

Eat more vegetable like broccoli (This is a super veg. Full with important vitamins!), spinach, bok choy and many more vegetables. It's full of important fibre and should be consumed 4-5 times a day.

Next is chicken. When you eat chicken, remove the skin and you will lose weight. The chicken skin consists of saturated fat which is bad for our body. Lose the skin and lose those weight!

Remember EVERYONE, even if you eat all the healthy food there is in world, if you overeat, you will still add weight! So remember to watch the portion of your meals and check how much calories you need in a day.
