I met some friends the other day and the topic of weight loss came up. As usual, everyone brought up their favourite �kalau tak makan nasi, pasti boleh kurus�. Then another friend echoed saying �Actually, I dengar kalau you makan nasi once a day, OK, tak gemuk�. Then echoed another friend �Ah Ah� betul lah, I pun dengar cerita sama�.
OK, if you are wondering why I am writing the dialogues in Malay, is because it is as it happened� and not for any other reasons.
Now back to the topic� is it true? If I cut down my rice to once a day, will I see weight loss?
The answer � It all depends on the amount of physical activity you do in a day. If you just sit in your office chair all day and then sit in you car for the traffic jam, and then in front of the TV� then even eating rice once a day might be overkill for your waistline. But if you work as a construction worker� heck, you could eat rice for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper and yet your body would be as lean as Bruce Lee. Why? Because of the amount of activity you do.
There are thousands of other weight loss myths just circulating out there and the thing that they all have in common� is that it is a perceived easy way out to weight loss.
Sorry to burst everyone�s bubble� but there is no shortcut to losing weight and keeping fit. Workout more and eat less� you do these and you will definitely lose weight.
Are there any other weight loss myths you guys have heard? Would love to hear them if you have any.
PS: If you want to know more weight loss myths and whether they work or not, do check out �Good Living� magazine which is out in news stands now. I wrote an article for them with regards to weight loss myths. If you see the magazine, please do pick up a copy and have a read.
