me wants to be a lean machine: day 5
I just realised that not only my bad eating habits screwed up my body, it screwed up my grammar too! Erm, so the whole thing is now ‘me wantS to be a lean machine’, aight?
Actually it may have been without the -s. I don’t really know how this grammar thing works — it eludes me most of the time. In Malay we call that ikut naluri so I’m just following what sounds good to me. Friends from the past take note — this was how I passed all my English tests with flying colours. You should follow your instincts more often.
So, third day of the Atkins, and seems like a few readers of this blog don’t agree with it? I think I should elaborate on how I plan to do all this. Was too tired yesterday to continue writing.
Right, the plan. Well, I intend to follow the Atkins diet thing for 2 weeks. After that I’ll have a look at the results… which reminds me, I should probably get a weighing machine or something… and if I am still alive after a fortnight, will continue with the Atkins for another 2 weeks. Then I’ll look into different things, as I know that the Atkins should not be a long-term commitment. I’d die without bread before the high blood pressure gets to me.
And yes, I do intend to join a gym. But that could only be done come next month, because I can’t suka2 join the gym in the middle of the month for three reasons: 1) They don’t charge for only half a month, 2) I’m kinda very broke this month, 3) I will still be broke next month but there will be some moolah for the gym. Yay.
And I already had caffeine. Nyeh nyeh nyeh. Sorry, can’t do without coffee. Plus it was free coffee. You all so nice to me *sniff*
The no-caffeine rule was imposed because caffeine supposedly makes you want to consume sweet stuff. It didn’t to me, and my coffee was sugar-free (I like it bitter).
So I didn’t exactly learn it the hard way then 
Btw, only 12 more days before the Pixart’s 20% discount ends. Go read my review on the Pixart pocket book here, and make good use of the discount offer if you want an album of your own.
Also realised that I should change the sidebar pix. Not a good motivation. Damn you Secret Recipe.

I was going to bring up the sidebar pix, but you beat me to the punch. I think it’s a cute pix. Just because you’re eating like 10,000 calories of gunk should be a reminder of you before you gots lean.
You know, I am really gonna laugh hard at you.
I spent 0 when I tried losing me fats.
In fact, I saved money.
The atkins is bullshit, just get rid of it. Eat what you normally eat but in moderation, by cutting down 20-30 percent that’s it. Burn more energy by working out.
It is easier to work out in your own room than going to a gym. Going to a gym means driving all the way there, getting in gear, wasting time, then driving back home, and probably stink your car seat with sweats. All that time you wasted driving to and from gym and the money wasted, could’ve been put to better use.
There’re so many exercises you can do in your OWN room and still get the same results.
You can always static jog. Running without moving, in one place.The key is cardio vascular (aerobics) types of exercises, that burns fat overall, when your heart is beating faster than usual (do it according to your pace). Don’t even get me started on stupid spot training, I am gonna laugh hard at people doing this, coz those are only for building muscles, not losing fats in a particular place.
Meditation running, close your eyes, relax, hold on to something like a chair, start jogging/running. You’ll be sweating and probably 30 percent asleep at the same time. Time passes by so fast you won’t realise it. It may sound and look stupid but it saves money, works, and you do it in your own room privately. Get a mop for the floor to mop up the sweat. For guys, wear an underwear to prevent your balls slapping and sagging. Good tight bra for the girls.
You really think money will solve your problems don’t you?
heh, you’re in a lot more serious problem than I thought.
Besides having the willpower to wanna lose fat, I think you need some proper education on the right way.
Seriously, Shadowfox, you made some good points but hey, you need to go get some social skills!
Nyuk nyuk nyuk….

Gym! Ikut sama aku! Jom!
why did i read that as
Atkin Sex Posed .org?
must be the case of a tuesday…
Shadowfox must’ve been sodomised by a pack of wild dogs when he was a child. The poor dear, desperately crying out for attention and some lovin’ from gay inmates at Singsing. Don’t worry, we understand.
ShadowFox, it’s not that Suanie cannot do all that at home. It’s her evil part got hold of her better half. The next thing you know while she was working out in her room, is to walk to the fridge can pop a can of beer.
I don’t like gym either. But I prefer to get out of the stuffy room and play a game of basketball or something. For Suanie, things are far worse. You have to get her out of sight of food and sodas.
Shadowfox.. sound advice but duuuuuuuuuuuuuude. hehe. Hmm I think most find atkins interesting becoz the concept is so simple. Just eat meat. I love it too! But it wasn’t for me. Take care. Dun overdo it. If I am not mistaken this 2 weeks for u will be the incubation period for Atkins diet, then on your 3rd week u begin to add in different things back into your diet. Oh well good luck then. U might find yourself weak at the gym tho, due to a lack of carbo intake. Just to let u know b4 hand. B4 u wonder why u feel so shitty. Your mind is beautiful take care of it too. Can’t wait to hear the progress.
For burning calories, I enjoy putting on Dance Dance Revolution on my Playstation. You’ll be amazed how much sweat it generates.
gyms pro-rata your charges if you join in the middle ot the month.
“For Suanie, things are far worse. You have to get her out of sight of food and sodas.”
alvin,
If she does not settle that temptation first, what makes you think it will be any different coming back from the gym hmm ? Being tempted then and now, what is the difference ? hehehehe. That’s the beauty of losing fats, besides having the willpower to want to do it, you need to do it the correct way and you also need to resist temptations, what better way to get that training than from home ? hahahah.
I won’t be courteous and polite if I see silly things. I am supposed to be the horsewhipper and taunting guy remember ? Hahahaha. I am supposed to be the irritant so she can prove me wrong. Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk.
This lean machine plan is going dowwwwnnnn.
Dieting is like stopping smoking.
It seems so fucking necessary but you can still live doing it
oops live not doing it, nicotine withdrawal fecking with the brain there.
Caffein doesn’t make you consume sweet stuff. Sweet stuff is mean to reduce the caffein effect.
Go suan… go suan… go suan…!
Er… I gotta do something bout my spare tire oso…
1. atkins/high protien diet doesn’t work.
2. it’s better to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week. try to target for heartrate of at least 60% of your max heart rate to burn fat.
3. never ever skip breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day. having said that, it doesn’t mean you can gobble down all the nasi lemak or roti canai you can lay your hand on.
4. drink more water, it help the body detox…aim for 2 liter to start with and move on to about 3 a day.
5. skip caffiene. It acts as diuretic and it may just make your metabolism plateau.
need more tips?
alternatively go do kickboxing or something…you will have a tight bum in no time…better than atkins anytime…too much protein strains your liver, kidneys and if you are not careful damage are irreversible well to each his or her own…realistic goals one at a time…ciao…
‘…and my coffee was sugar-free (I like it bitter).’
I arrive late, and still no one has added the ‘just like her men’ joke. Shame on all of you!
Anyway Suanie, just keep going. Do what you think will work. What works for some won’t work for others. I trust you have a brain and know how to use it.
YOU CAN DO IT!
GO SUAN!
YOU CAN DO IT!
[Hmmm, I wonder if I'm the fattest cheerleader in Perth at this moment?]
Why waste all that money on food and then burn it all off so quickly at the gym. Definitely rich person’s syndrome.
i read this somewhere:
NUTRITION
Guzzle — don’t sip — water: Downing big gulps cues your body to get it into the system faster.
To lose weight, drink cold water. Your body has to expend extra calories to heat up the H2O in your stomach, resulting in a rise in your resting metabolic rate. In fact, in a 2003 German study researchers estimated that drinking two additional icy quarts a day would help you burn about 100 extra calories — or the equivalent of a pound of fat every five weeks — with no other changes in exercise or diet.
i am so trying it! i have been doing it all wrong by drinking warm water, and sipping it little by little, chey!
You can do it Suanie.
ganbatte suanie…we’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of the lean machine
Contrary to popular belief, Atkins, a cardiologist wasn’t the inventor of the low-carb diet, in fact it is based on an earlier research paper published in the 50/60s’ on ketonism (ketones).
It’s controversial because the American government for the longest times had advocated hi-carb diet through the popular food pyramid due to excess grains produced by farmers; the hi-carb concept was and is still deeply ingrained in the public as well as the medical establishments.
It does trim off fat exceedingly faster than other diets known on earth, and most surprising to the medical establishments was the lowering of triglyceride as well. AMA dismissed the idea for 2 decades and finally in 2003 published an article concurring with Atkins.
The real danger is misreading what Atkins’s diet is about; it does include lots of greens and fruits and exercise.
Good luck.
Atkins- good for weight loss but bad for the heart.
And you’ll need more than 2 weeks. Generally, anyone who boasts of weight loss in days is really talking about dehydration. It’s medically not plausible to be burning and losing fat in days.
Good luck. At least it’s not a 2 year commitment with hardware in your mouth
Thank you thank you all for the encouragement, advise, comments, remarks, research etc. Will take each into serious consideration, as I am taking this v. seriously. Seriously…
