Being a photographer myself, I thought I'd see to what extent I could make myself look better slimmer and smarter using my photography skills. I set up the lights got my friend to do a shoot for me. We tried a lot of lighting styles. But the best of the shots still resulted in me looking quite fat. I decided, "That was it, I have to reduce".

Nice Article....Thats cool you're on the runner's site...there are great tips there...I've been through the same yaar and for the time I am so proud and happy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, here are a few very simple and workable tips..Point is no matter how much you control diet and exercise its all external...the best way to burn is to teach your body how to burn calories by itself without external help (exercise) Thats whats called increasing your metabolism. This works great...
Here are 2 very very simple things you can do immediately to increase your metabolism:
Eat as soon as you wake up and I'm not joking huh, seriously just shove whatever you can in...makes a difference because you're telling your body to start the machine of burning...Drink water while you're at it. Think of it this way, there's an annoying begger holding on to your feet at the traffic light and you can give whatever small change you see in your purse to shoo them away.
When you sit down to eat anything lets say. Divide it by 2 and wrap it up in a plate/bowl. Keep it aside in your bag/room/dining table. Eat it exactly 2 hours later. I say this because lot of people complain that they cannot make items every 2-3 hours and its time consuming....so this is my trick...
Hope this will help :-)
Hey Ag,
ReplyDeleteThata a really nice article by you ! I will try exactly that! I could not get enough exercive today and so will do some crunches. That should help.
Ill follow that lets see how it goes :0
Pd
Yeah, even if you find old chutney from yesterday on the dining table when you wake up in the morning - just eat some...the body basically knows that food is available today so it can be active.
ReplyDeleteExercise in the morning always...It might be hard but just somehow try...like skip 500 if you dont have the time to run...but do something active in the morning - again, that's the cue for the body to understand to wake up and burn calories...There's no point do cardio related workout after 4pm...your body naturally shuts down by 5pm...it wont burn anything....so dont eat anything that is heavy after 6pm....
