been wanting to loose weight but always tak pernah jadi =S so i tink i shld follow this, or willl i?
5 Diet Traps to Avoid
Can't keep off the weight? Maybe you're caught in a diet trap.
About 8 million Americans a year enroll in a weight loss program. All in all, we spend about $30 billion a year on diet products and programs, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. So why can't we keep the weight off? Here, says the FDA, are the 5 common diet traps that trip us up.
1. Eat all you want and still lose weight.
Sounds too good to be true, right? It is. The laws of physics still apply. Your extra weight is energy stored up as fat. To lose weight, more energy has to come out than goes in. Energy is measured in calories. When you move your body, you burn calories. When you eat or drink anything other than noncaloric beverages like water or tea, you take in calories. If you burn more than you take in, you lose weight.
2. I have to starve myself to lose weight.
Very low-calorie diets are dangerous. This should be done only with medical supervision, and only when there is a medical need to lose a lot of weight as fast as possible. Gradual weight loss is much healthier -- and much easier.
3. I have to diet to lose weight.
One diet after another isn't the answer. A consistent plan for a healthier lifestyle lays the groundwork for lasting weight loss.
4. A fad diet worked for my friend.
We all know someone who went on a diet and swears by it. These diets rarely work for long. A sudden change in your eating habits can lead to a pattern of quick weight loss followed by rebound weight gain once you go back to a normal diet.
5. Lose 20 pounds in two weeks!
Early weight loss from fad diets is usually from water loss. The bathroom scale may show that you lost weight, but it is not fat weight. Most experts say that losing a pound a week is an excellent goal. This means eating 500 fewer calories a day. This can be done by learning -- and practicing -- healthy eating habits.
So what should you do if you want to lose weight and keep it off? Follow these sensible steps suggested by the FDA:
Talk to a professional. A doctor, a dietician, or another qualified health professional can help you determine your ideal healthy body weight -- and the safest way for you to get there.
Eat smaller portions.
Eat a wide variety of foods to be sure you're getting the nutrition you need.
Eat lots of foods with lots of fiber. These include fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
Eat fewer high-fat foods. These include dairy products like cheese, butter, and whole milk; red meat; cakes; and pastries.
Exercise for at least 20 minutes at least three times every week.

halo bloggerku...
nazurah, if ure reading this, ko mesti tak caya tt i went to watch newboyz..hehe..
hari ni went to watch nbz at pasir ris costa sands...went there quite late but once reached there, nbz belum start pun...few minits aft tt, baru start..juz on time...:) tot was late...got to sit quite near to the stage...1st time got to watch artiste upclose...as in tt close...LoL...aLL tHaNx to FaTon...thks for the tix, thks for asking me and i really enjoyed it esp at costa sands...got to take pics and all...ohya...of all the newboys members performing juz now, i find the drummer cute...haha..altho he's there to replace nbz drummer...p/s: nbz pics dah di upload...if wanna view it, click under pics.
after the small mini concert, went to follow faton to clementi coz nbz would be there...one of the coffeeshops there at blk 431 i tink...see...how fanatic pple can be...from pasir ris costa sands to clementi...hehe...wait until so long at the coffeshop but nbz still belum sampai...in the end, eda n me decided to eat at the coffeeshop instead of waiting nbz...and once we took the menu, suddenly heard voices screaming...and nbz juz came...wat the toot...and pple were crowding all ard them...and i was like down there and eda,few metres away from nbz and the crowd eating our nasi goreng pattaya and my ice lemon (pronounced as Lee Mourn) tea with our face "like we care, nbz is here" hehe...sorrie faton if ure reading this...=p
ohya, and guess, who took our order? it was rafi ali...singapore football player..haha..initially see him, was tinking "eh, who is he ar? seen before...on tv.." LoL...
after all the burps and burping, we left for orchard and then went back home.
was actually waiting to get my exam timetable online...but only will be out 2ml...how eager i am huh....so i juz went in and check my details n stuffs and i clicked on the modules im taking and down there under stats mtd n micro, it stated taken once or repeat one time, im not sure. seeing tt, suddenly juz make my heart dropped...its like its gonna stay there forever...and suddenly make my mood from ok to down...hikz hikz hikz...
furthermore, my frens been complaining they got loads and tonnes of projects and datelines to meet, whereas me here, felt tt i like got nothing to do...and hence i felt tt i slacked...heard some got until 6 projects to be done and i only got 4...heh..only? tt also dun tink i'm able to finish it at least one or two days before the dateline...but still, when all ur classmates seem busy and ure not, u will feel sumting's amiss, not right, feel tt ure slacking and bla bla bla....point is u dun feel gd.
pple is always confuse i guess...when u have to do this, u actually tink u wanna do tt. when u got this, u want tt. when u get wat u already wished for, u actually wish tt u nvr wished for tt...to a certain extent, im like tt...dunno abt other pple tho...
all in all, today, i cant help smiling n giggling tt i actually watched nbz and got to take their pics on stage..cant believe it tt i enjoy it...coz im not nbz fan...i noe they exist but i only noe the first songs...and only one song...i dun like them coz i find them like very the boy band..however, watching them performing at least had opened my space to like other types of musics too other than indonesian songs which i really like coz to me indo songs are special and they got their own trademark and style, in my opinion. to my 3 close(naz,faton n eda) frens, i dun deny tt ard 10% of me liking indo songs due to other reasons..heh...cant deny tt, esp to nazurah if ure reading this...hee...
plus, was surfing juz now and got to noe that Arisan will be showing on the 25th of april at Prince 1...where is tt? held be singapore arts festival. tix 8.50 i tink and i wanna watch...anyone want to follow?

Pasir berbisik (Whispering Sands)
Atmospheric and visually stunning in wide screen, the drama of a woman (played by Indonesian star Christine Hakim) and her daughter on the run from political violence as they shelter in an unreal dune-filled landscape.
Whispering Sands is set on East Java and is a modest story of the love between a village girl and her possessive mother (Christine Hakim). The teenage Daya keeps trying to test her mother's strict rules and to extent them. Her mother, a single woman, is a midwife who sells traditional medicines on the side. The political situation makes her flee to a village in the desert area, where sand gets in everywhere. The lonely Daya often dreams that she sees her long lost father Agus again, a dream that eventually comes true when he returns penniless. Because she sees how happy he makes Daya, her mother allows him to come back home again. Agus tells Daya beautiful stories about his travels and the bond between the two of them gets closer. However the happiness she has just found does not last long. Agus becomes involved with a smooth loan shark and that has disastrous consequences for Daya's dream world.
The Shifting Whispering Sands
Rusty Draper
(Listen to the age old story)
(Of the shifting, whispering sand)
Yes, it always whispers to me
Of the days of long ago
When the settlers and the miners
Fought the crafty Navajo
How the cattle roamed the valley
Happy people worked the land
And now everything is covered
By the shifting, whispering sands
How the miner left his buckboards
Went to work his claims that day
And the burro's broke their halters
When they thought he'd gone to stay
How they found the ancient miner
Lyin' dead upon the sand
After months they could but wonder
If he died by human hands
So they dug his grave and laid him
On his back and crossed his hands
And his secret still is hidden
By the shifting, whispering sands
This is what they whispered to me
Way out on that quiet desert air
Of the people and the cattle
And that miner lying there
If you want to learn his secret
Wander through this quiet land
And I'm sure you'll hear the story
Of the shifting, whispering sands
(The shifting, whispering sands)

harlow bloggerku....
so fast hols soon gonna be over...i actually waited for the one week break last week and now i noe, its over..so fast...but i guess my hols was quite well spent...hehe...altho not the study part...coz until now, my tuts for nxt wk, i haven do...actually ada angan angan untuk habiskan all the tuts nxt wk during the hols...tapi its an angan angan...haha...so, angan angan equals to....i tink no need to say...hee....
orite, i guess i wanna quit andalus oredi...cant help it...the claz is so boring....wid the ustazah..sori to say this la..all refer to the book...then y go for the claz? can juz read the book wat....i wonder how i can tahan being in tt claz for the whole of last year...
tink back, i've got my own reasons y i took up the claz...hee....its only for me to noe tho...but i noe the whole thing has quite a lil bit changed me...
but i promised my mother that i would take up another claz at the nearby masjid..if possible, al mutaqqin...paling tidak kat istiqamah...discussed wid alin juz now...
but im taking all these classes not because of my mother only...there's lots reasons to it....
but i juz wonder la...for me in my case...why evrytime its claz agama, its always halfway? sadly, its the fact...
but then again, i tink again, tak semestinya nak belajar agama mesti nak pergi class...the whole thing is wide...all again depends on myself...the goin to class part, for me, is to ensure that ure actually doin sumtin abt it and learning it formally? then, in e end got a cert and tts it? i dun tink so.... hee...hard for me to put it into words....
now, im all over tere's songs....all are so damn nice....esp the one tittled 'aku patut membenci dia'...sounds cruel...but its nice....ohya...my hero is back on teevee...haha...sahrul gunawan is back on tv...weekdays lagi...but half an hour oni la...still...its weekdays...unlike months back, its weekly...nenek aku pun ckp dia cute!...haha....
and one last thing, i hev to start doin all my tuts if i dun wanna suffer next wk...2ml still got one more day....so, its tt another angan angan? or a reality when sch reopens? aiyah....crap ar....chiow...aik? chiow sey...hehe...no, must end this like wat i usually ended this....huh? pening...nvm...selamat mlm bloggerku...
