Speedy Weight Loss Program

I am writing this after the success of my own weight which went down from 73kg (2005) to 55kg in 1 1/2 years and overtime coming in as the champion for the Standard Chartered Marathon 2008, at the age of 43 with a time of 2hr 49min.

Also, after a piece of advice, my friend Pramod Kukunur has lost from 80kg to 72kg within 3 months from mid-January to mid- April 2010. Hence, he has initiated this blog so that I can help as many people as possible to reduce weight.

Very soon, I shall write details on the points enumerated below in another blogpost. 

20 Pearls of Wisdom to Reduce Weight

1. Watch your weight by weighing every day.

2. Consume a lot of fruits and vegetable. Anti-oxidants are present in these foods.

3. Take food like cornflakes, pasta and spaghetti.

4. Drink 200 - 300ml water an hour per day, 9am to 7pm.

5. Do strength training once a week. Muscles will burn fats like a furnace.

6. No late-night food. Possible stop consuming food by 6pm, latest by 7pm

7. Exercise 20-40min per day, except on one rest day, go for a brisk walk, run, cycle or swim

8. Avoid people who like to keep talking about food.

9. Take a heavy breakfast in the morning.

10. Do not go for a second helping, instead take fruits and vegetables.

11. Take food as medicine.

12. Do Yoga or Tai Chi to increase the metabolism in the body.

13. Take food made up of wheat.

14. Consume deep fried very sparingly.

15. Make available fruits around the house, outside.

16. Chew food 30 times.

17 After food, do not sleep immediately. At least an hour should go before sleep.

18. Take spices in food.

19. Drink water before you consume food.

20.  Wake up and sleep early. 

Note: Right now I am 64kg and am hoping to go to 60kg before going for Gold Coast Marathon 2013.
