Essential Flat-Belly Foods

Aku baca artikel ni kat Yahoo! Soalan pertama dia sentap tuu... "It's summertime—are you in swimsuit shape?"

Sejak akhir2 ni seleraku bertambah2. Masa dlm pantang aritu, aku dah back to shape spt sblm pregnant tapi sejak masuk kerja, byk pula mkn. Mungkin sebab senang pergi beli kat kedai kot.

Artikel ni meyarankan beberapa makanan yg baik utk diet. Dalam artikel tu kata "The more of these bulge-battlers you eat, the better your chances of keeping those abs flat throughout this skin-baring season."

Hmm... betul ke? Nak kena try ni. Actually ada banyak jenis mknn yg disaran, cuma aku pilih beberapa yg mudah diperolehi je la. Mcm avocado tu takyah try la, nak cari/beli pun susah.

(1) GRAPEFRUIT
Per grapefruit: 104 calories, 4 g fiber, 2 g protein
~ A grapefruit a day in addition to your regular meals can speed weight loss. The fruit's acidity slows digestion, meaning it takes longer to move through your system, and you'll end up feeling fuller, and more satisfied, for longer. And the vitamin C-packed grapefruit works to lower cholesterol and decrease risk of stroke, heart disease, and cancer.
* Aku pernah try yg ni, mmg bagus. Berat turun, body fat pun turun. Selalunya aku gantikan dgn oren Sunkist tu.

(2) EGGS
Per 1 scrambled egg: 102 calories, 7 g fat (2 g saturated), 7 g protein
~ A British study found that people who increased the percentage of protein-based calories in their diet burned 71 more calories a day (that's 7.4 pounds a year!). Jumpstart your metabolism as soon as you wake up with a protein-rich breakfast of scrambled eggs.
* Yang ni pun aku pernah try. Protein telur memang bagus, selalunya aku rebus je telur tu.

(3) YOGURT DRINK
Per cup: 174 calories, 2 g fat, 14 g protein, 3 g fiber
~ This delicious dairy product is a belly-blasting essential. Beyond the satiety-inducing protein, the probiotics in it may also speed weight loss. British scientists found that these active organisms boosted the breakdown of fat molecules in mice, preventing the rodents from gaining weight. The researchers still need to prove the finding in humans, but there's no danger in downing probiotic-packed products.
* Untuk diet, biasanya aku makan low fat PLAIN yogurt.

(4) QUINOA (Grain Cereal)
Per ¼ cup: 170 calories, 2.5 g fat, 7 g protein, 3 g fiber
~ Penn State researchers found that dieters who ate whole-grains lost twice as much belly fat as those who stuck to white-flour products—even though they'd consumed the same number of calories. What's more, quinoa contains twice the belly-filling protein as regular cereal grains, fewer glucose-raising carbohydrates, and even a handful of healthy fats. So start your day off with a cup of cooked quinoa combined with a ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of blueberries—microwave for 60 seconds, and you have a delicious (and slimming) alternative to your traditional oatmeal.
* Ada kat rumah tu, kalau ade MOOD nak mkn, baru aku mkn... sebab bentuk dia macam mknn rabbit tu... rasa dia macam hampas skit!

Hari2 aku makan sarapan nasi lemak. Maka, makin byk la lemak yg terkumpul. Nampaknya, semuanya perlu dipraktiskan semula.
