11 Ways to Maintain Your (Slim and Healthy) Figure

Friday, November 8, 2013


Some of my personal habits not to get fat. And of course, stay healthy and slim.

1. ALWAYS eat your breakfast. Helps to keep your metabolism up.

2. Buy clothes that are just nice or slightly tight. Keeps you in check so that you know that you have gained weight when your clothes are getting too tight for you.

3. Being an exercise freak doesn't give you the right to consume loads of calories. Eat less, move more.

4. Look at pictures of fat people, cellulite thighs, flabby arms to constantly remind yourself not to become one of them.

5. Don't eat supper AT ALL. Though I personally have not tried whether supper really makes people fat, but I am not put the theory to test. Rather believe it.

6. Try to shit everyday. Not verbal shit, but excreting our body waste the usual way. That way, you prevent toxins from building up in your body. (If you don't wanna eat fibre supplements, try massaging your tummy around the belly button area before food. It helps!)

7. Pile up on your fibre! Eat lotsa veggies, apples, muesli, yoghurt! 

8. Chew up and slow down. Chew your food at least 25 times before you swallow it. Break it down into smaller pieces for easier digestion. Don't be in a hurry to finish eating. Slow down and savour the taste.

9. NO SNACKING. This is one rule I strictly abide by. I don't eat chips, chocolate, gummy candy because they are more harmful than good. If you must snack, grab an apple or drink some milk. I have read somewhere that granola bars are actually not THAT healthy as they seem to be.

10. Drink lots of water! Water helps to flush out the toxins in our body, aids in digestion and sometimes makes us feel full. So the next time you are feeling hungry, try to drink some water first? Warm water is preferred over iced water.

11. Coffee lovers please ask for the Skinny version of your fave Starbucks drink. Every little bit counts.

I didn't include exercising in the above 11 ways because I don't really exercise. The most I do is probably a swim in months, 10 minute simple yoga and stretching every morning. Of course, exercising is healthy and you should do it often! (I can't say the same for myself because I am too lazy and I hate to sweat.) That's why I use other means to not get fat. I am not slim but at least I am not plump =D
