A Healthy Lifestyle..?

Hi! In this post, I'm going to talk about health. Yeah, you read it. HEALTH. That's right! I even underlined it. For some people, that word repels them. They will stop right there, and will not continue. The others, well, they like this topic, and I hope you like it too. Some people want to have a healthier lifestyle; have a proper diet and exercise so they can live longer. The main content for this post is about the method for healthier lifestyle I've gone through and maybe you could try it if you are inspired by it. Recommend to your friends or relatives if they want to lose weight!

A short story before we proceed if you don't mind. If you do mind, you can skip the 3 following paragraph.

I'm doing this post because people have been asking me how I lost all my weight, and some of them have complimented me. When people do ask, I just tell them what I've gone through, and few days later, another person would ask. Believe me, I've answered the same question for like 5 times or more. It's not that I don't like people asking me, I love it when people need my advice. So, for me not to keep answering the same question over and over again, I will just give them the link to this post.

Before I did the method of healthy lifestyle, my friends and family have told me to lose some weight or else I'll regret it when I'm older. This method wasn't my idea. I was inspired to do it. This one friend I had, Nadirah, helped me with my weight loss. After I told her my weight was 102.5kg, she got shocked and told me to lose some weight. She told me to have an objective on why I should lose my weight, or else it won't work. So I told her my objective is to impress her, I liked her (again) that time so that's why. She laughed about it,but had faith in me.

After she gave me her advice, I started to follow it. Surprisingly, my weight was 102.5kg, and the last time I checked, I was down to 86kg in 2 months and 15 days (I lost 5kg every 3 weeks), lost 16.5kg in total because of her and some support from my friends and family. I've checked that weight I think few weeks ago? I don't know how much I weight now. I said "This one friend I had" in the previous paragraph, is because things went complicated with her. She broke a promise that broke our friendship, I think, because after that promise thing, we barely talked to each other. I can't forget about her because she was the one who had faith in me and motivated me to lose all the weight. So if you're reading this Nadirah, thank you for your advice, your faith in me, and your motivation to keep me going and not to give up. Thank you so much!!

The method for healthier lifestyle I've gone through.
Now to some people, this might sound crazy and extreme, I've heard people say it when I told them what I did.

Here's the list of what I did for 2 months and 15 days (Long list by the way):

• Don't eat anything with sugar. This includes sweets, cakes, any fizzy drink, etc. No sugars at all! Even if sugar can give you energy, just eat the natural sugars from fruits.
• Don't eat any junk foods. (Definition of junk food: Junk food is a pejorative term for cheap food containing high levels of calories from sugar or fat with little fiber, protein, vitamins or minerals. Use of the term implies that a particular food has little "nutritional value" and contains excessive fat, sugar, salt, and calories.) This includes any potato chips, and to the people who are living in South East Asia, No Indo-Mee, Maggi, or any noodles that contains high sodium. Stay away from foods that had high sodium in it.
• Eat less oily foods. If your mom is cooking your food, try asking her if she could use less oil on yours or use healthy oil. 
• When chewing food, try to chew it until it is little watery so you can swallow it easier. I don't what this does, but back then, every time I eat, I only chew few times and swallow. After I did this, I've lost some weight.
• Don't put a big chunk of food into your mouth at once. Cut it into little pieces or just eat little by little. This will help you chew and swallow easily. Every time I eat, I will cut my food into little pieces. Like what people say, don't big chunk of steak at once, or else that chunk will stay in your stomach for few days. I don't know, that's what my mom told me, but just don't eat your food in such a big chunk.
• When you have your meal, don't have large portion of it. Just have a small portion. What I did was, I never eat until my stomach is full. To Muslims, this is Sunnah. Just eat until you don't feel hungry and stop before you stomach is full.
• During eating, don't forget to drink your water. Stop eating for a while and drink your water, not all of it.
• Do not eat any chicken skin! 
• For Asians, I know how you love to eat rice, me too, but you should stop eating them. I only had a small portion of rice every 2 weeks.
• You can eat 3 meals per day. During breakfast, lunch and in the evening. At night don't eat, only drink water or Japanese Green Tea. Fruits are accepted to eat at night. After 5:00pm, you should stop eating. Wait for 13 hours and then you can eat again during breakfast, like you are fasting, but you sleep through the night for like 8 hours.
• If you are starving like very hungry at night, just eat fruits, drink water or eat 2 half-boiled eggs.
• Every night, drink a cup of Japanese Green Tea before bed. People say that green tea can help you lose weight, so I did that every night and look where it got me! 
• Drink more than 2 Litres of water everyday. Do not miss a day. Seriously, drinking water helped me lose some weight. Keep yourself hydrated. There's a saying, "If you drink more water, your brain will work better." 
• Have cheat day once a week, where you can eat large portion of food during that day, but you still can't eat at night and still no sugars except from the fruits. If you are up for a challenge, try not to have a cheat day once a week, try once in 2 weeks.
• If you feel you had too much food in a day, try to be more strict the next day, like eat lesser portion of food than usually, make the gap for each meal longer than usual, or eat only 2 meals a day (Breakfast and evening)

What I did, to make sure I will lose some weight:

• Drink only juice for breakfast, or just have a banana, or just a small portion of healthy cereal (Kellogg's Special K) with Skimmed Milk. Can't have Full Cream Milk. 
• During lunch, just eat salad, vegetables or fruits.
• In the evening,
• Exercise at least an hour every night. Do push-ups, sit ups, run up-and-down your stairs etc.
• Use the stairs rather than the elevator, unless the floor you're going to is high. If it's 3 floors up, just use the stairs. 

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE STARVING, YOU CAN HAVE LACK OF MALNUTRITION WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR BODY!

I might forget some things, but don't worry, I'll try to add if I remember. That's basically everything though.

I know it sounds crazy, extreme and strict! but hey, I lost 16.5kg because of it. Everything on the list above, helped me. I've went through to all of it and right now, I'm used to it, which is better because it's healthier.  Just remember, this is the method I've gone through. If you're not ready, then don't follow this method. You could try this method and see you do lose some weight.

I believe that's it for this post. If you have questions, do ask, don't be afraid! Recommend this method to your friends or relatives if they want to lose some weight!
If you are ready to follow this method, you can start next week or tomorrow! All the best to you! Happy trails everyone!
