Today I will not talk about investment or economy but a
topic that interest all women – slimming (瘦身男女). I started to put on weight while I was in the Army. Funny isn’t it, putting on weight while in the military organization! Don’t laugh, it least I still physically fit and I passed my physical fitness test.
And my weight has been maintained at 72kg (with std deviation of 1kg) for a decade. I tried many methods to reduce it but was unsuccessful. Methods I tried previously includes:
1) Regular exercise
2) Products that increase metabolism rate.
3) Products that prevent food from breaking down completely for body to absorb.
4) Any of the above combination.
They all never work. Go on diet? I also know that lah, don’t need you to teach! But to go on hunger strike might as well ask me to die. Somewhere in Jul this year, during our usual lunch gathering, one of the senior colleagues shared with me a cheap-and-easy method to slim down. He witnessed how it works on his Pastor. That is:
Eat fruit lunch (even without strenuous exercise)
His Pastor used to be quite fat but after fruit lunch plus regular exercise, he slims down completely. Actually we all know about eating more fruits and vege but my question is, does it really work. In fact, one of my ex-colleagues Ms Jenny mentioned this method before. Now let’s stay focus; we want to see result, don’t we? Everybody tries to come up with his/her own monkey secret that will help a person to reduce weight. You just get disappointed many times. But my colleague’s statement is very strong – fruit lunch, don’t need exercise (though his Pastor exercise regularly). And he GUARANTEES that it will work and I will see result in 3 months time.
The Challenge
I don’t believe but I am ready for the test. On 19 Jul 08, I dec
lared to a few close colleagues that I will start fruit lunch challenge for 3 months. And these are my plan to be followed closely:
1) Only eat 3 times a day, including the fruit lunch.
2) Ban snacks and supper completely. Actually I don’t usually eat supper.
3) No exercise (otherwise don’t know the cause of the result)
4) Target weight: 65kg
And as you know, whenever you want to try to achieve something difficult, you’ll find more friends/colleagues trying to pull you down rather than encouraging you.
“Aiya, you just had a lunch at Fish and Co. so all your effort wasted liao”
(one lunch at Fish and Co. and all the effort will be wasted, can you imagine such motherhood statement?)
“No lah, the key lies in your fruit combination. Your current combination is not good so it won’t work”
(I didn’t know that only certain fruits have fibre while the rest has zero fibre)
“no lah, without exercise no way you can reduce weight”
Remember the movie Pursuit of Happyness staring Will Smith? He said this in the movie, “when people can’t do something, they want to tell you you can’t do it”. That’s human nature. Anyway, I followed through my plan exactly for the 1st month. Come to the second month, I got a problem – I was recalled back by the Army for training. So I could not follow my plan anymore. It’s the Army, not your grandfather’s organization that you can do as you like. Also due to the stress level plus ample of tidbits from my comrades, my slimming programme was totally disrupted. After I completed my ICT, I continued with my plan, only that I changed from fruit lunch to fruit dinner. The reason:
1) It is difficult to have fruit lunch with my colleagues. They are enjoying good food and so it was very tempting.
2) It is cheaper and easier for me to eat fruit dinner than lunch.
3) If you stop taking food after lunch (other than fruits for dinner), your body has very long hours without fatty/oily foods – from lunch to next morning. Imagine the impact!
The Result
Recently I bought an electronic weighing machine but dare not try it. I dare not face the result although somehow I felt that my pants are loosened! But you know, it could be just psychological. It was only a week later that I think I must know the answer. So I jumped on the weighing machine and voila it shows my weight to be 68.8kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I kept trying and it still shows the same result.
I am not convinced. So I went to the gym to use their machine. Their result shows that my weight is 69.7kg. Ok, so now I know that at least my weight has indeed dropped by at least 2kg. Yesterday, a few ex-colleagues from the Army called me out for a gathering. When I arrived, one of them immediately shouted out “eh, you slim down ah!”
Oh my goodness!!! Another view from someone I’ve not met for more than half a year, cannot be wrong. Thus I declare to the whole world that:
“I had tried fruit dinner method to reduce weight without strenuous exercise. It works!”
No doubt there is still a distant away from my target, but since there is initial result, I will press on. Below is my photo taken a few days back. Other then my face, still like a balloon, look at my waist or tummy. Therefore, from this day onwards, fruit dinner will stay with me till deaths do us apart!
“Whose that girl on your right?”
Well, for me to know, for you to find out…. along New Tiew road.
