My weight loss plan this coming holiday

January 21, 2009 | By Valen | In My weight loss plan 

I know I’m supposed to shop for foods following the recommended plan in the Diet Solution Program so that I can start my daily meal plan. Well, I did shop a lot last week - not for foods in my healthy weight loss plan though. :P

I am busy preparing for Chinese New Year, a very important festive that Chinese celebrate falling on the coming Monday. Just like Christmas, it’s a season that involves meeting up with family and friends PLUS lots of foods and drinks. And this celebration actually lasts for 15 days before it’s considered ‘THE end’! This surely poses a great hazard to my weight loss plan. ;)

Anyway, since I’m now well aware of my body metabolic type, which is the protein type, I definitely know which foods to choose and which to avoid this coming holiday. My ideal food type ratio is 45% protein:35% carb:20% fat, so I will consciously add more, for example lean meat and nuts, and less carbo, for example rice and bread, in my meals.

The greatest ‘challenge’ of all will probably be the assortment of yummy homemade cookies! Cookies are usually loaded with butter, flour and sugar - this spells DANGER! That’s why many people tend to get few pounds heavier after CNY.

To tell you the truth, I won’t totally avoid the cookies, or else there is no fun at all, right? However, I’m not going to stuff myself with them either. I just want to satisfy my taste buds, not to curb my hunger! Once you know the reason why you are eating, you will know when to stop. ;)

In addition, 3 to 4 times of exercise next week will help me to burn off inadvertently consumed extra calories, haha!

I still have to come up with a shopping list for the foods I need for my protein-type diet, and pile them up in the fridge for meals in the following week. That’s about it for my weight loss plan during this CNY holiday (if it’s considered a plan at all). :)

So, to all the Chinese readers out there: Happy Chinese New Year, wishing you a healthy and fit year ahead! :)

P.S. This will probably be the only post for this week, but I will try to get one post out next week coz there’s so much to share about healthy lifestyle and weight loss! :)

    Hello,
    Nice blog, I just found it and I’m already a fan
    I hope it’s not too brash but I have just started blogging
    my own weight loss(I went down 30 pounds in a month, so I’m happy
    , and I was wondering if you could post
    my diet for your blog readers.
    My most recent post is fast weight loss diets
    If you would like to do a link trade
    that would be excellent as I want to discuss my weight loss success
    with everyone. If I can lose that much weight then
    anyone else can too. Whatever you do, don’t give up and you WILL
    achieve all your weight loss goals!
    much thanks for reading,
    Joan
