Interestingly enough some ladies who were unfamiliar with the Eat-Clean

For many years now he's been practicing Ashtanga Yoga and he typically spends an hour and a half a day performing the exercises.Here are two photos, one taken when he was 49, the other taken when he was 55 years old. That is also the same year he wrote a foreward to a Yoga book called Yoga Beyond Belief.

Ali lost 100 pounds in one year. She did this with the help of a personal trainer. She is very tall at 6'1' and she now weighs 175 pounds. When she first met her trainer and weighed 278 pounds, he told her she wasn't eating enough! He asked her to eat six small meals a day and to make sure she got lots of protein in each meal. Now she is often eating chicken or fish at 10:00 in the morning. She says she no longer craves sugar.
When she first started losing weight she lost 20 pounds in the first month and that was very encouraging. See her weight loss story and picture here.

The gym and Eating Clean helped me overcome my fears so I could tackle 40 and

This is the prime of our lives and I can't believe it's almost here.I'm interested in hearing what number you're afraid of reaching and why?Let's tackle these age assumptions with our weights, clean eating, cardio and great attitudes.We are
I've gotta start taking food pictures for this blog so it looks more interesting :) I would be doing a 4 day detox again this week starting tomorrow. Next week it'll be 3 days only. I think it's not so bad not taking any carbs within this month. I've managed so far and no cravings...yet!
One funny thing... each time I run, I would be looking at those abandoned dumb bell's. I'd probably start weight training again soon lah since those buggers have been staring at me endlessly. It's like I have that urge to lift them. My father-in-law said if you've worked out a lot and still have a big belly it means that you haven't done enough leg exercises. I hope with weight lifting I'd be losing more weight. Malas ba tinguk slow result.
Today's activities:
Breakfast: 3F1 Vanilla + 100ml no sugar soy + 120ml water(Terover kenyang...)

Dinner: 3F1 Dutch Choc + 100ml choc soy + 150 ml water(was so hungry, my tummy started to hurt, thank goodness I drank just in time)

Well, it's a lovely long weekend here in Canada. The sun has been out here and there, but I do wish it was just a few degrees warmer here. I even had to cover my plants because they are warning of frost tonight. What's this about global warming? I think it has skipped Ontario. :-)I've spent most of the weekend working on the house with my husband. We are throwing a birthday bash next Saturday and

Today will be my last day of detoxing and I will try and take my shakes with plain water too. :) For yesterday's detox I lost 0.6kgs too like in the previous day which makes me 70.2kgs now.
Teamix 1 mug
Breakfast: 4F1(1 cappu + 3 choc) + 200ml water
Lunch: 4F1(1 Strawberry + 3 Choc) + 200ml water
Ugh... no cardio today. Feeling slightly lembik... Just had my periods today.
Teamix 1 mug
A plate of mixed fruits. Just didn't feel like drinking shakes.
Teamix 1 mug
Breakfast: 4F1(1 cappu + 3 choc) + 200ml water
- Yay! The shakes still tasted yummy. I thought I would puke. Alhamdulillah, I can save money and not buy soy. Not that I haven't tasted it but I forgot whether I liked it or not. I love the thickness. Hubby told me I was crazy. No human drinks that thick of a drink, hahaha. I offered him and he said,"Eee... no thanks."

Thanks for letting me know about the issues. It has been tested on lots of browsers, so I'm not sure what the problem is.That said, I don't know much about websites so my team is on it as of tomorrow!Hopefully we can get the issues cleared.For those of you who can see it... enjoy!!-TR
Today I'm on the verge of giving up on my detox. Probably it'll be the last one today or tomorrow. But the magic word for me is TEKAD! Lost apporx 0.6 kgs in one day. I'm 70.8kg now. I think it's just water because my weight has been from 69-71 for a while now. I have been a very very bad girl. I snacked all the time, mostly on kuih and nasi! I think I was so happy I lost 10kgs so then wasn't that serious enough. Almost all the time I missed my dinner shakes and dined out with hubby instead cooking him a nice meal.
It's kinda weird that one day, which was last week, when I looked myself in the mirror and I saw myself... I am indeed still FAT and overweight! I'ts been 3 months that I still see the '70' number. So now I'm picking up myself back yet again after byk kali sudah jatuh. This time Alhamdulillah... semangat lagi kuat dari dolu2. Siap planning not wanting to take carbs for one whole month! I will try and stay motivated(reading ppl's blog and forums) so that I don't stray away. Indeed, it has become quite a depressing and irritable state seeing that I've cheated eating HL continuously... I'm also thankful that many of Malaysian Herbalifers have tips and motivational stuffs in their blog. Helped me a lot! :)
Okay, here's hoping that I lose some more weight tomorrow.
Todays shakes:
Breakfast: 3F1(Choc) + 100ml Cappu Soy + 150ml water

Cardio 15 mins
Teamix 1 mug
Dinner: 3F1(2 Cappu + 1 Vanilla) + 120ml Cappu Soy + 130ml water
Afterwards, I felt I had too much caffeine for the day. Tomorrow's my last detox for the week.

Actress and model Rebecca Romijn has lost nearly 60 pounds after giving birth to twins on December 28th last year. She says she lost the first 35 pounds within the first three weeks. (We must be counting the baby weight here too.) She says breastfeeding is the very best diet she's been on. See her story here.
Today I'm detoxing(Day 1). I've currently added one F1 scoop in my shakes. The cravings have disappeared and I'm happy.
Breakfast: 3F1(1 Vanilla, 2 Strawberry)+150ml water+150 soya
Lunch: 2F1(Strawberry)+1F3+150ml water+150 soya
Dinner: 2F1(Strawberry) + 1F3 150ml water+ 150ml soya chocolate
Supper(Ter pegi Ikano): 1 Sushi Salmon, 1 Sushi Unagi, 1 Caramel Latte
Before this 2 scoops of F1 was fine for me. But it took me 2 and a half months to realize that I needed more scoops for my meals. Lambat pick up betul. Indeed my metabolism has increased therefore I need more protein for my body.
1 extra scoop of F1 really makes a difference. I wish I could turn back the time but ah well... that's a mistake I must learn kan.
Received 7 bottles of Formula 1 today. Of course 3 bottles are for my sister in law(all 5 cappu flavor). I have to take those 5 bottles at TTDI post office within 7 days. Bummer. The 2 arrived at my doorstep.

It's a wonderful day to be celebrating US and all we do. We're mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, friends, and Clean Eaters. To take on so many roles and wear so many hats can be exciting and overwhelming at times. I encourage you to enjoy this day (or the day you've set aside to celebrate) as your own. Don't forget... taking care of you means you can be a better mom to everyone else who needs

I'd always detox once in a while and when I'm in the mood to do it, I would go and find sample menu's. The menu's would always end up somewhere in my pc unorganized.

Special thanks to a few of my fabulous team members. Without them (and you) The Eat-Clean Diet would certainly not be helping as many people as it is. Thank you thank you!!!This is me with my PR whiz the fearless Silvie Bordeaux. She is working on Oprah as I type!Of course I need Clean Eats on my team...

After sharing a big platter of seafood with hubby and my cheeky son, I went over to Brand Outlet and walked over to the Plus Size section to feed on my curiosity cause I felt that my pants that I just bought last month where much much bigger than usual. I was thinking to myself, "had my pants grown bigger or have I lost a size?"
I took the size 12 black pants and went straight to the fitting room. I soon found out that it fit perfectly! It was really a surprise to me and indeed I lost 2 sizes although my weight is still 69kgs.
I've been detoxing again this month. I'm also controlling my carbo intake this month cause I am soooo desperate to lose 4-5kgs. I'm stuck in a plateau for how long I don't know and it's all because I eat rice everyday for lunch. But the best thing is that I lost 2 sizes already!! :)

This also means my training is intense this week and my meals are tighter.... lower carbs, etc. Basically, Cooler 1!In the meantime, special thanks to
I just found out from the Cari forum that if you have 'sembelit' it's not advisable for you to buy Dutch Chocolate flavor Cappucino flavor because nanti it will add to your sembelit-ness.
Marie Osmond, age 49, lost 45 pounds 2 years ago and has managed to keep it off. She dropped from a size 12/14 to a size 2/4. She says it only took her four months to do this. She now weighs about 120 pounds (she is 5'5" tall) and is a spokeswoman for NutriSystem. See some great before and after photos of her here.
She discusses her weight loss story in her new book Might As Well Laugh About It Now
A high protein diet is increasingly being recommended for fast weight loss. A friend of mine needs a hernia operation and he was told he had to lose almost 25 pounds in less than three months before the operation. A hernia operation is much less risky if there is less stomach fat. He has been placed on a high protein, low carb diet. It's not recommended for the long term, but as a fast way to lose the extra weight.The Harvard School of Public Health has a great article about the best sources of protein. They say the best sources are fish, beans and chicken.
I think I've finally recovered from a VERY busy week of traveling. Home always feels so good after a long trip. My own bed, my own food, and my own family. Ahhh!
