How I lost 3 kilos in 10 days
Well I improved my BMI for a whole point and reached my ideal weight (68 kilos = 150 lbs).
For the first time in my life I understood the joy of closing that top button of my old jeans.
How I got there:
- Every day I make push-ups until my arms shake.
- I stop eating when I am not hungry anymore + don’t eat unless I am hungry.
Eat what you like, but never eat until you are full, eat only until you are not hungry anymore.
WOHA! What a secret I just revealed.
There is exactly one way to loos weight;
Put less calories inside your body than you use.
The problem was, my Okaasan just served me too much food every day. And me, being polite, ate everything that came to the table.
Well, in Japanese culture you always cook for 1 person more. It is very embarrassing for a host if the guests have empty plates.
An empty plate means: I ate all you gave me, but I am still hungry.
In this spirit my Okaasan kept cooking more and more and I forced myself to eat it all, it escalated…
Oh, one thing about diets; they don’t work.
If you stop eating the food you like, you will suffer from malnutrition and just jump back to your old weight, the moment you stop your diet.
The thing about sport.
Have you ever wondered why the people who get really old, never did sports? And why an former athlete above 90 is virtually unheard of?
Because of the oxygen.
Jup, it turns out, people who do sports use their bodies, and that makes them age faster.
Those 15 kilometer runs every morning don’t make you younger. They improve your current situation, but you will have to pay it with a shorter life span.
The explanation is simple. Oxygen is like fuel to our bodies, but you know what oxygen and water does to iron. The two destroy metals by dissolving them, it is called rust. The same thing is happening in our bodies. Contact with oxygen shortens the telomere string and therefore decreases the lifespan of every cell.
“Sport ist Mord!” or
“No sports!” (Winston Churchill)
Just wondering if you have any sources for the bit about sports causing you to age more quickly?
