Diary 6: How Can We Shape Off the Extra Kilograms

I met a senior colleague this morning and he wished to know if there is any way to bring down his body weight. Looking at him, I would not regard him as obese but reducing some kilograms is viewed necessary.

It is important to realise that some of the accumulated toxin in our bodies are easy to get rid of. It is deeply rooted in our muscles, tissues and organ. Exercise daily may help a little but may not be effective to lose weight in the long run.

What can we do?

The best way is to do some kind of fasting to get rid of the stubborn toxin in various parts of our bodies.

Here are some suggestions to be considered.

Before fasting the next day, we must tell our bodies of the intention so that it is ready for the fasting. It is just like the “biological clock”. If you tell yourself that you want to wake up an hour earlier, the body is able to react accordingly.

How to fast the next day? Option 1: no breakfast, no lunch or no dinner. Option 2: reduce the amount of food taken during breakfast, lunch or dinner.

How about if we feel hungry in the process? That feeling of hunger is normal and it is also a test on us. Option 1: just ignore the hunger and concentrate on other work. Option 2: take some fruits. What is important is that when we are hungry, it is the time the extra toxin in the bodies is burned. This is the natural way of losing body weight.

The impact can be amazing.

Since my senior colleague is a Muslim, fasting should be an easy thing to do.

If you cannot fast on week days, do it at the weekends.

Happy fasting!
