To Breakfast or not to Breakfast, that is the Question.

A bagel tummy I'd like to not have

My mother told me that as a child, she would pile my plate with protein and vegetables with a scoop of rice. Being Asian, rice is the staple food and so her routine received gawking mouths and disapproving looks. She rebutted with a fairly good rationale: “I don’t want my daughter to be fat!” Thirty years later (and some), I’m saying, “I don’t want to be fat!”

I was told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Legend has it that we must eat breakfast like Kings, lunch…I think someone lesser than a king and dinner like a pauper. Today, I see people eat all meals like maggots…a never ending fiesta of food. Appalled, but hit with reality…I’m a maggot eater too. I love my fiesta of food. Being Malaysian…aiseh, what can I say? I eat all day long.

Recently, I was introduced to a personal trainer who said eat what you want but know what you consume. Then she said, try to eat breakfast after the exercise to burn the reserved fat. Then she said, put in enough cardio to improve your metabolic rate. Finally, during Ramadhan she said, run 30 minutes before break fast and burn your reserved fat…

A better looking vision of me walking my fat away

I’m a lazy bugger, but I hate being fat. I hate my bagel tummy and my jiggly jig jelly extra tyres. So, I decided to walk in Ramadhan and I lost 1 ½ inches around my butt. Now, I eat breakfast after my run and eat dinner like a pauper. I’m not miraculously slim but I feel less fat. It’s only been 2 months of effort…I’ll write it again in a few more months.

She also said, Unleashed 2012 is around the corner. I’m guessing it is a lot of exercising before breakfast and eating like paupers. But, what do I know? Still, …I wonder what I’d gain more if I did know.  What is Unleashed 2012?
