Diet



Just now, I went to see my old friend. It has been a very long time ago since our last met. He was so surprised. "Hey, you look slim! What is your secret?" he asked. Actually, this kind of question has been asked to me several times ago. Thus, I decided to share what I did and how I managed to lose weight. It is not a secret anymore.


There are many tips that I've tried in order to lose my weight. I'm dying to be slim. So, these are few things that I practiced:

1) Set your goal: In order to gain or achieve something, setting your goal is a very important thing. It plays a very important role in order to make your first step to achieve something. In this matter, you want to lose weight. Thus, set your goal that you really want to lose weight and you will try the best and give all out to lose your weight.

2) Weigh yourself before starting your diet programme:

Secondly, you must weigh yourself before start your diet programme. This is to ensure that you can monitor your progress.

3) Watch what you eat:

Next, you will need to watch what you eat. As this cartoon said, it is very important to have a balanced diet. Please avoid eating high calorie foods. For instances cakes, ice-cream, candy and many more.

4) No junk food:
Junk food is not good for your health. Thus, avoid this kind of foods. Such as burger, french fries, and many more. Almost every junk food is high in calorie and cholesterol. Plus, they are also added with mono-sodium glutamate (MSG), a kind of food-additive which is not good for your health. I can't explain the details of this MSG because it is not my profession. You can search it in the internet though, in order to know about it. Well, I know.

5) Go for low-calorie/healthy snacks:

There are many kind of low-calorie/healthy snacks nowadays in stores. There are many brands that you all can choose. If you love to eat biscuits, try to search for whole-grain or low-calorie one. If you like potato chips, try to find trans-fat free, or with no added MSG. If you like to eat snack bars, you can also find healthy snack bars in stores nowadays. Try to find one. Please avoid the one with high sugar content. You can also try yogurt as your snack.

6) Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits:


Vegetables might be not that delicious for many people, especially for youngsters. But, you need to know that vegetables are really good for your health and you must start to love it since young. I myself usually didn't like vegetables. But if you try to love it, you will love it. For examples carrot, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes and many more. I'm not going to list it here. But, green vegetables are recommended.
As for fruits, many people may love fruits but, there are also many people made a mistake in choosing fruits. Fruits that I really recommended are apples. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

7) Don't waste your calorie for drinks:


Many people nowadays really love to drink sweet drinks which are high in sugar content. One big example is teh tarik (literally "pulled tea"). This is not a good habit as this kind of drinks contain high quantity in condensed milk, which is high in calorie thus will make you gain weight. I only drink plain hot/warm water. That is really recommended. You can drink coffee, but don't add sugar. Well, some said that you need sugar (glucose) in your body. But, you didn't notice that what you eat also contains sugar. So, no more need it in your drinks.

8) Workout:



There are many workouts that can be done. If you are too lazy to go to the gymnasium, try to do it in your own house. Actually, I'm not really a kind of person who loves to go to the gymnasium. As for me, I bought body twister disc. It can be done in your own room. It works for your legs, waist, chest and also hands. I also used to walk for about 30 minutes a day. Besides that, I also dance. Put on some pop dance songs, so that you can dance to the beat. It makes you sweat. Try it.

Well, I guess that's all what I've practiced. The result is, my weight can be as lowest as 65kgs and my maximum weight it up to 70kgs. Compared to last time, I weighed 86kgs. So, how many did I loss? You can count it people. Last time, my waist is 38 inches, and now my waist is 32 inches. Alhamdulillah, I'm happy with this result. My effort finally paid off.

Tragedy: 14th of May 2011

Salam. On 14th of May 2011, I was planning to try to bake a cake, myself. So, I had looked up on the internet, to find a recipe. I had decided to try Lemon Cake, by Gia da, one of t he famous chef celebrities. I had printed the recipe. But, in this house... there were no much of th e ingredients needed.

When Hospitality Fails the Basics: A Guest’s Quiet Reflection

What does it take to turn a good stay into a great one?     For many business travellers, the answer isn’t grand lobbies, luxurious bedsheets, or buffet breakfasts. It’s the little things—the seamless service, the small courtesies, and above all, the peace of mind that everything has been thoughtfully handled. But what happens when even the basics fail? Recently, I had the chance to travel for work and stayed at a well-rated hotel, part of a professional arrangement involving multiple rooms. While the setting was promising, my experience reminded me how crucial it is for hospitality providers to walk the talk—especially in an industry that thrives on trust, service, and efficiency. Where It Started: The Missing Essentials: After a long drive and a busy day, all I hoped for was a calm check-in and a room stocked with basic necessities. To my surprise, the room was missing even bottled drinking water. I had to request it—twice. The staff eventually complied, but not without maki...

Perfect, Is It A Compulsion To Counsel Others?

A few months ago, the author talked to one of his acquaintances about advising others. For instance, counseling others regarding solah. Nevertheless, the acquaintance said to the author that if he was in the author's shoes, he would not dare enough to do so because of imperfection. In the author's point of view, lacking does not mean that we can't counsel others towards betterment and virtue. The author asked for opinions from three ustaz. The first opinion from Ustaz Supani, stated: "That wasn't right. We advice others when we see they wrong-do, while when they saw our wrongdoings, they will have to counsel us. That was Prophet's command."   The second opinion from Ustaz Saidi Adnan, stated: "Prophet's hadith stated that we need to counsel others' wrongdoings. This hadith is general and it is not specified to those who are perfect only. If we saw wrongdoings, it will be a necessity to comment with hikmah." The third opini...
