HOW TO EAT A LOT AND STAY FIT?
Posted Saturday, 6 December 2014 // 11:39 am
 Morning world! Didn't plan to do this on a Saturday morning but it drizzled unexpected so I'm just waiting for the rain to stop before I can go out and jog. I can't really study now because once I study I have to sit there for at least 2 hours. And partly because I've already planned my day, changing it drastically will make me very unhappy. I figured slotting in a post while waiting is better than hanging around Youtube which I already did before I decided to get out of bed. As the title says, "how to eat a lot and stay fit?" instead of "how to eat a lot and be skinny?" don't picture the end product to be a perfect barbie figure. Girls love to eat and want to be skinny at the same time but I feel that skinny is not a thing for everyone. It is more important to be fit than to be skinny. Different height requires different weight. Which means my 48kg weight might not suit you if you're 1.6m and up. A 55kg can still be crazily gorgeous. I'm neither a health professional nor a nutritionist but I can tell you how to eat a lot and stay fit healthily. This requires a little bit of determination and effort. (what doesn't?) You want something? Work for it. Let's just get straight into it! I only have 4 tips and that's pretty much what I do. #1 Drink lots of water Teenagers nowadays do not have the habit of drinking water and they are missing out such a big part in life. And water, I mean plain water, not sugary drinks. The list of benefits of drinking plain water goes on and on, it helps to keep you hydrated, gives you a glowing skin etc. But what I really want to point out is that it helps increase your metabolism rate. It aids in digesting fats as well so drink on! I drink about 600ml of water every morning and about a litre more throughout the day, not really the ideal amount, we should drink at least 2 litres per day but I'm working on it. #2 Eat healthy If you want to eat a lot, you need to see what you're feeding your body. There is a difference between eating 3 bags of chips and eating 3 fruits within a 12hours. The fact that you're eating a lot, you need to decide carefully what to eat and what not to eat. Not that you should totally avoid junk food, but keep it in moderation. Always opt for healthier choices, more vegetables and less meat, fruits for dessert instead of fattening cake and nuts instead of chips. I know we all fancy different food but you can work around it, a healthy diet can be adopted, at the beginning it might be tough but with determination, it will soon come naturally. I'm generally a healthier person- vegetables, nuts, caffeine free tea etc but I do eat fatty meats, drink coffee and eat some fried unhealthy food when I have cravings. If I had unhealthy lunch, dinner must be healthy. Keep the cravings for tomorrow. Determination. #3 Exercise I'm sure you have heard this word all the time and how it's linked to being healthy. Well, can't be helped, it is the way it is. You need to work to get what you want. But if you have follow the above steps strictly, this actually only require little effort. Jog once a month and short daily exercise will do wonders. If you prefer sprints then do sprints but I generally feel that distance is always better than speed. Short daily exercise can be as easy as just squats and bicycles. I'm a weird girl that loves to walk when I'm not carrying heavy stuff, and I walk a lot. Take the stairs and walk that extra mile, you'll see the difference in the long run. (window shopping is a good exercise too!) I jog once a month but tends to jog more during stress period. #4 Sleep Sleep is so underrated and it's so sad. The lack of sleep can affect your metabolism drastically in terms of digesting and hormones, it's so complex I don't think you guys want to read all of it but all in all, lack of sleep will cause you to gain weight. Why? Look it up here. On average, we need 7 hours of sleep every night and I know being a teenager in Singapore (actually, anywhere in the world, not just Sg) it's almost impossible to achieve a 7hours sleep but it is not totally impossible. I tend to sleep before 12am and wake up around 8am, once in awhile because of work, project deadlines and commitments I'll stay up to 3am but that's seldom. Sleeping before 12am can be done if you do scheduling and planning. Most importantly, don't take up stuff you are not sure if you can cope, you'll only end up having everything fall on you while trying to juggle 10 tasks with just 2 hands. That's all I have for you guys but......all these come with a price to pay. Because now you have high metabolism rate, you'll constantly get hungry and once you eat, you get high very quickly. I personally have to eat every 4 hours, cause I get hungry very quickly. And obviously whatever goes in have to go out. But it's all worth it, you get to eat whatever you want! I always satisfy my food cravings, I do not care. I want pizza; I'll go the extra miles for it. Just don't eat it an hour to two before you sleep. If you're really hungry before bed, eat fruits. This is not a hack in life, it's just compromising with life. google/ medscape.org |
