JL Diet Revived

My more and more jeans keep hinting me,  it’s time for me to restart my JL Diet.
Some long long story(5 months ago), I started a new diet method that recommended from my colleague Justin, after 3 months, i lost 7 KG, yes 7KG in 3 months, I have forced to keep my lovely too-loose-LEVIS jeans in the cabinet and take out all those old jeans..but after that, for some reason I stopped the diet, see what happeended after 2 month of big eat big drink? i gain back 5KG…
My tummy is back..my swim rim is equipped again…
Time for me to start again, today is the first day!!
So, what is JL Diet?
JL Diet named by me, because it is created by Justin Loo.
The concept is quite similar with Atkins, by reduce taking of carbohydrate, sugar with proper instructions, this will switch the body’s metabolism from burning glucose as fuel to burning stored body fat.
JL Diet is not a new diet concept, it is more like a recommended practice of diet.
So, how to do it?
There are 3 rules in JL Diet,
Take proper meal, 3 meals per day.
No snacks, sweets or fruit.
Drink more water.
Dont understand? isn’t that eat more fruit is good for reducing body weight? not actually, fruits give you extra sugars that your body do not need it, so they will keep in your store room, which is part of the fats in our tummy.
Insufficient of carbohydrate in your body also means less water,  so you need to drink more water, plain water will do the job, or you may have bad breathing problem. :p
After 3 rules, there are 3 instruction for each of your meal,
Dinner, eat anything other than high carbohydrate foods, no rice, fries, all kinds of potato, or flour made food, you can take lettuce with tuna, roasted chicken, ham..as long as with vegetables.
Lunch,  eat whatever you like, no rules.
Breakfast, you can either do as lunch, or dinner, depends on your feel whether you want a faster effect diet or slow yet steady diet. For me, I do for breakfast with 2 boiled egg and coffee without sugar or milk.
Dont sounds very difficult right? there is some more bonus.
You are only required to do this for weekdays only, weekend and public holiday are exempted from doing this.
Close your mouth, yes I am serious, of course it doesn’t means you have to eat all the way for your off-work days, but we understand that is too difficult for non-working days to control our meal, so exception in off-work day can be a strong reason for you to insist your diet in working days.
That is all for JL Diet, you may also want to get a body weight scale for your daily record, the good diet effect can be a very strong motive for you to continue with it.
Chinese New Year ahead, and the CNY sesson always a fattening season., hope this can at least reserve some buffer for this… :p

Saturday Afternoon with Beer

SNC00198

Beer time again, feel like my blood is more than 5% of alcohol after consecutive 3 days with beer.

The little bali, quite a recent place for gathering, with great beer discount.

SNC00197

The only thing, the happy hour 1 for 1 is not allowed to be shared..

SNC00197-1

Which means, if 2 of you are there, and each of you just want to have 1 pint of beer, each of you can either give up the 1 for 1 or just take 2 pint of it…they just don’t allow you to order 1 pint, and free 1 pint for your partner…

Quite a rare promotion rules….and makes the promotion don’t really attractive…

Anyway, sitting with pretty gals and having beer still make me enjoy the cold everning.

Some pics of the good environment

Coffee & windows

There is always more than 1 window..but which one is mine…..

KFC Delivery Online delivers more than KFC

In a total unwilling-to-OT mood, I browse to KFC website to order my dinner.
It looks totally different now, first thing that taken off, no more call order below $80.

KFCLogin
Okay, I am second class customer now, my order is much much less than that.
As IT personel, I am still happy with it, this shows IT is more and more popular and important.

After registered,I prompted to login, hmm..why should I login? I am just entered my username and password..nvm..lets proceed.

After login, I go into the order directly, there seems some issue of changing the delivery address, and there is no field for me to put in the building name!! Come on Mr KFC, my office address gt 2 building, how your DHL guy know where to deliver to? nvm lets see how the pity guy reach here.

Anyway, I continue the order, now they are smarter, they only allow me to request for 3 more pack of extra chili source, nvm…

There’s no way to request to change from Whip Potato to Coslow, as what I usually do, okay also nvm…(shaking head)

Finally finished the order, and it allows me to print it directly..not bad though..

After everything is finished, i checked my mail box, there are 2 emails,

  1. Your KFC Delivery order is on its way!
  2. Welcome to KFC Singapore’s Online Ordering

First email just an notification of my order, with ETA, not bad~

New theme & new header image

Finally selected new theme Aurora 4.0.1(by Mathew Browne) as my new blog’s main theme, however the header don’t look related though..

So I decided to use one of my scenary pictures as the header.

Finally selected this beautiful flower, taken with my new lens 80-200, with very nice bokeh

Crop out the flower, resize, and upload, and make my blog looks so nice~~
