On a diet? Do Yogurt!

whenever i felt that i've overeaten and it is time for a detox, i'd start counting my calories ( not like i do not count it everyday ) haha..

so at least if i've gained weight, i know its cos i overeat? i hate it when i gain weight and do not know why!!

anyway, for a girl, its best to have 1800 calories a day ( for a girl with normal activitity ). if you wanna lose weight, just eat less than that - i'd recommend between 1200 - 1400 calories. Since you consume 400 less calories a day, you'd lose approx 1/2- 1 kg of fats in a month!

so let me recommend one great food that can aid you in your diets -- Yogurt! Marigold Non-fat Yogurt. comes in many flavours - blueberry, mixed berry, strawberry, aloe vera & peach mango, they all taste great. and heres the best part ---- its only approx 120 calories per pack, with very little or no fat at all! how great is that?



yogurt helps digestion, helps prevent osteoporosis cos of the calcium inside, and is filling ( so you wont overeat ). if you think its too boring and plain to eat it alone, mixed in with some crushed digestive biscuits, or cereal and there you have it ( your very own home-made delicacy that's fit for a queen to eat.

so this weekend, i'm really looking forward to my detox diet - consisting of some healthy foods like apples, bananas, yogurt, milk, cereal + one indulgent - muffin from Delifrance cos the muffins are just so cheap and good.

Awesome Drink: Negative-Calorie Fruit Juice!! - Green Apple Celery

i personally am pretty health conscious - so though I love to eat, I ensure I count my calories everyday to make sure I do not exceed my limit. It really comforts me to know that there are such things as "Negative Calorie" around -- to make our lives that much easier.

Let me introduce to you this awesome drink - green apple + celery fruit juice.





These 2 fruits are both negative calorie, meaning though they have calories when eaten, become negative calorie when digested as the energy needed for digestion is more than what they contain! You must be thinking, are you sure?? Is this for real?? Yes yes yes!! I am for real. It means -- that you can eat as much of it as you can and not gain weight - of course, without adding any sugar/dressing etc etc.

Other negative calorie foods are: berries ( blueberry, strawberry, raspberry ), apples, mangoes (surprisingly), watermelon

Green apple + celery fruit juice is possibly the most refreshing drink there is out there. Celery is an acquired taste though ( applies personally to me too ) but once you get the hang of the taste, you'd be wanting more.

Simply blend 2-3 green apples with 1 stalk of celery and you have yourself a great beverage - whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea time or supper.
