From an early age on we are told always to be patient and we keep on telling ourselves to be patient and wait even when we are adults. That’s probably because being impatient is just something human!
That’s also the reason why crash diets have been booming in recent years. People want a super-model-body and they want it NOW, not tomorrow! But that’s not how it works.
Weight loss is an especially big challenge for people who are really impatient. If you force yourself to change your habits, your attitudes to things and your behaviour from one day to the next you are bound to fail.
Losing a couple of pounds is a project that you have to try to fulfil step by step. This step by step thinking is crucial if you really want to reach your weight loss goals. Get used to it!
Eating habits don’t just change over night. They have been created over the years and so “wrong” habits have to be changed to the “right” habits by continuous learning. No need to hurry! Take it easy and change your habits step by step. Enjoy every step of the way and you can be sure that you will finally apply what you learn.
But where to get started? After starting to deal with the topic of healthy eating and lifestyle many of us will find that there are lots of things they do on a daily and weekly basis that shouldn’t be that way.
Start with one single point – the one habit that contributes a lot to your current weight. Most of you will immediately know what I am talking about. We are not ****** (just human) and we know that our craving for chocolate that we are fulfilling on a daily basis has to be stopped but we tend to ignore it and to put it aside until it is too late.
So if you know that your sweet tooth has contributed to your current weight a lot try to reduce your chocolate consumption. Don’t cut out chocolate completely right away! You for sure won’t be able to go through with that. Rather start reducing your chocolate consumption step by step – this will work!
Reach your diet goal step by step
Every person is different so your first steps to reach your diet goals will be completely different: for some people it will be to drink the required amount of water, to take the stairs instead of the elevator at work, to take the bicycle to work two times a week, to not eat Chinese take away anymore, to get a diet recipe cook book and finally learn how to cook,….
All of these are little steps will immediately lead you into the right direction and at some point they will make you reach your diet goal that you specified before. True, with this method the journey to weight loss will take longer, but the risk that you will abandon your goal is reduced tremendously. Patience pays off, that’s for sure!
So think about your current habits. Which one do you need to change the most badly? Set yourself a small goal concerning this point and try to reach it. You will be amazed by how quickly all these little goals add up and will change your lifestyle.
What’s important when dieting: learn to listen to your body! Many of us have forgotten how to do that, but if you listen your body will answer and let you know when it is time to take the next step into your new slimmer life.
Sebenarnya saya dah berkali katakan hal ini, namun lumrah kita sebagai manusia, ada yang dengar dan ada yang tidak. Ada yang mengambil iktibar dan ada yang tidak. Apa yang saya tulis di sini lebih kepada teguran dari seorang kawan.
Respon fikiran Anda pada orang lain, situasi, keadaan, perkara dan benda menentukan positif atau negatifnya Anda dari dalam minda. Anda adalah apa yang Anda fikirkan bilamana melihat pada orang lain, tak kira sama ada adik beradik Anda, kawan, rakan sekerja mahupun orang serumah. Respon minda Anda dan tanggapan dalam persepsi Anda menentukan positif atau negatifnya attitude yang Anda miliki.
Contoh, Program Angkasawan Negara. Sesetengah orang lebih banyak berfikir negatif tentang program itu, mengungkit tentang pembaziran duit hasil cukai yang dilakukan kerajaan dan kredibitili Dr Sheikh yang kononnya tak setanding dengan Angkasawan lain di luar negara. Pandangan sebegini adalah pendapat negatif dan bila Anda berpendapat yang sama, maknanya Anda berfikiran negatif.
Walau tak banyak tapi ada. Ye tak?
Sesetengah orang pula, jadi cukup bersemangat bila memikirkan pencapaian Dr Sheikh Muszaphar yang baginya luarbiasa. Ada yang menjadikan beliau sumber inspirasi, penyuntik semangat dan role model untuk berusaha serajin mungkin. Jika Anda selalu jadi bersemangat bila memikirkan Dr Sheikh, maka Anda tergolong dalam golongan orang yang berfikiran positif.
Tahniah!
Sedarilah bila Anda suka melihat pada aspek negatif dalam apa saja yang Anda perkatakan, pendapat Anda dan ayat-ayat yang terpacul dari mulut Anda, maknanya fikiran Anda negatif. Susah Anda nak tukar kepada fikiran positif dan tindakan positif bahkan Anda rugi kerana tidak dapat menggunakan kelebihan kuasa minda yang dikurniakan kepada kita sebagai khalifah dimuka bumi.
Dalam diam, Anda telah menggunakan kuasa minda separa sedar Anda untuk menarik situasi-situasi negatif yang Anda sendiri tak mahu, seperti masalah kewangan, kemurungan emosi, stress ditempat kerja, susah hati, hubungan peribadi yang bermasalah dan hutang yang tak berkesudahan. Soal fikiran positif dan negatif sebenarnya hal yang remeh tapi kebanyakan kita terlepas pandang hal asas sebegini.
Jika kita negatif dari dalam minda, maka negatif juga hasil yang kita dapat walau sekuat mana usaha. Orang yang berfikiran negatif dan bertindak negatif, jalan hidupnya negatif saja, mendatar dan takde kemajuan, sebab fikirannya menarik fikiran orang lain yang negatif, situasi negatif dan hasil usaha yang negatif. Graf hidupnya tak menceracak, tapi masih di garis yang sama.
Tukar pemikiran Anda hari ini. Lihat sinaran mentari disebalik mendungnya awan tengahari.
Lihat aspek positif dalam apa jua keadaan dan latih diri untuk bersangka baik pada Allah, takdir dan apa jua yang mendatang. Baik atau buruk, Anda adalah apa yang Anda fikirkan.
Berfikiran negatif membuat Anda ketinggalan.
Eating Fruit on an empty stomach
*
Dr Stephen Mak *treats terminal*ill cancer patients*by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He explains: before he is using solar energy to clear
the illnesses of his patients. *He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.*
Letter to original email writer:
Dear Shereen,*
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die.
The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.*
Thanks and God bless.*
Dr Stephen Mak*
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and*when*to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?*
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON*AN EMPTY*STOMACH.*
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.*
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.*
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through
the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.*
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices,
the entire mass of food begins to spoil....*
So please eat your fruits on*anempty*stomach*or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp,
when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat
the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!*
Graying hair,*balding,*nervous outburst, and*dark circles under the eyes*all these will*NOT*happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.*
There is no such thing as some fruits, like*orange and lemon*are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who
did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.*
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only*fresh*fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because
you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.*
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva
before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised
when your friends tell you how radiant you look!*
KIWI:*Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.**
APPLE:*An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby
helping to lower the risks ofcolon cancer, heart attack & stroke.*
STRAWBERRY:*Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing,
blood vessel-clogging*free radicals.*
ORANGE :*Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away,*lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve*kidney stones*as well as lessens
the risk of colon cancer.*
WATERMELON:*Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system.
They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.*
GUAVA & PAPAYA:*Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation.
Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.*
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!*Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of*cold drink
after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid,
it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.*
A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every*heart attack symptom*is going to be
the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating
are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.
Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.*
