So my post on coconut water got me curious about electrolyte levels. I typically work out right before a meal so try to include a good balance of nutrients. What can I say: you gotta do what you gotta do to avoid the post-workout fatigue and muscle cramping ;). With sweat goes the electrolytes. Sorry …
Where food is concerned, I’ve never been one of those ‘take it or leave it’ people. I do put a lot of thought into what I eat, and try to eat food that either tastes good or is good for me. Over the last few years, my emphasis on food has shifted from being purely …
Coconut- I’ve always been a fan. Whether it’s the scent of my moisturiser, my selected flavour at Pinkberry, alcoholic drink (Yes, I actually enjoy Malibu and No, I’m not hardcore), or filled in my M&Ms (best flavour yet!), I can’t resist coconut. Ironically enough, I’ve never been a fan of coconut water. Although today my …
There is none! And if there was, I would be out there making millions on it rather than revealing it on my blog for free ;)! As depressing as it is, no amount of crunches will guarantee a washboard stomach because truth be told: spot reduction does not exist. Spot reduction is just an advertising …
So the other day, I was out for dinner and ordered an asparagus salad. Anticipating something both visually pleasing and delicious, I was served …drumrroll please…a bowl of iceberg lettuce and asparagus. I ate it nonetheless (gotta get those greens in ;)) but it was pretty pathetic. Even a few cucumbers here and a bit …
…add a spoonful of me Splenda? My sweet tooth definitely dominates my taste buds. Without fail, I have to conclude every meal with something sweet. Especially when I first started losing weight, my answer to this was Splenda. At 0 calories, it seemed like the perfect solution. Alas, I sprinkled it on everything that needed sweetening …
Is it me or has anyone else ever felt like being at a gym is like being in multiple locations simultaneously: i.e. a party, come indoor playground, come zoo all at once. Firstly, I am pretty sure it’s a pre-requisite for gyms to blast the music’s volume. Even though the chosen tracks may not be …
….and spin me around!!! Other than the occasional body pump or yoga class every now and then, I’m not much of an exercise class person. I never feel like I get as good as a workout as I do with a gym workout. An exception to that, however, is spinning. After ages, I finally attended …
Michael Jackson wasn’t the only one pro-teen. Ok that was borderline lame but on a serious note, we are a protein-obsessed society. Compared to all the other food groups, protein seems to be placed on a pedestal. A guy at my gym actually suggested I take protein shakes post-workout because of its whey protein content. Errr …
