Losing weight for Nigerians! Help on how to make it easy!

I saw this AWESOME article on how we can lose weight in nigeria. Its sooo awesome cos usually wen ur tryin to diet and u check online, u'll start seeing names like *broccoli* and co, some nigeria n person mite be like ooohoo wht again na, but this person that wrote dis article is actually nigeria and has helped to analyze the thing we should and shouldn't eat if we want2 diet. i told u i want to become a diet freak, so i'm always looking for a way to intensify work out to achieve awesome results. Ok so see her article


Weight Loss With the Nigerian Diet




You might have noticed that here in Nigeria it is quite difficult to get the right type of food to incorporate in our diets since our foods are not really found on the web. Which foods to eat to help us lose weight and burn fat, and which foods to avoid. Generally we would try to avoid food that are rich in simple carbohydrates, and embrace those rich in protein.
However, below is a list of various kinds of foods to decrease your intake of when trying to lose weight using the Nigerian diet. Note that I did not say you should completely stop taking them, but try to reduce them to the smallest amount possible! The nigerian Diet consists of various kinds of food, but majority of our foods, especially for the yorubas, are oily, and starchy!

Foods to decrease intake of in the Nigerian diet include:
1. Pounded yam: popularly called iyan, contains a lot of starch. Try to reduce intake of this.
2. Amala: made from the back of the yams so is pretty much starch too.
3. Garri: simply just cassava flour! Its known to be one of the promoters of big flabby tummy
4. Tuwo shinkafa: pounded rice so more or less contains as much carbs as white rice.
5. Soups: I suggest you avoid Nigerian soups when you are trying to lose weight because most of them contain so much oils. However some soups like okro soup, if cooked without oils can be very very good to incorporate into your weight loss program using the Nigerian diet.
6. Ofada rice, white rice
7. Akpu, also another cassava product, which is high in simple carbs and intake of it should be reduced. Akpu is also known to promote bulging tummies!
Please note that you should not totally eliminate the above carbohydrate foods from your diet, but try to limit intake of them to as little as possible.


Foods to increase intake of in our diet include:
1. As always, Beans. This contains high amount of protein, and are good building blocks for muscle. They are also one of the fat burning foods
2. Fish: Fish is very high in protein content
3. Fruits: Water melons, apples, oranges, bananas, etc
4. vegetables: with very little oil in it. vegetables are high in fiber content.
5. chicken and turkey: try peeling off the skin before taking these!
6. ukpa (of ibo origin) also high in protein content.
7: bean cake: moi-moi.
So now we can see that despite the fact that our foods are not really listed and classified popularly, there are various foods we can eat to loose weight!
When I started my weight loss program it was a hard task. Avoiding rice and eba was a very big deal for me, but I knew I had to do something about the tummy. so I stuck to eggs for breakfast, beans for lunch, vegetables for dinner, and fruits in between. those weeks seemed like the hardest in my life, but within a short period, I began to see results!


Awesome right?? I have even better news. there is actually a website where she (i think its hers) is always posting stuff on how to lose weight, where u can buy what eg dvds. here u go http://www.africanweightloss.com/  i will def be posting stuff from the website from time to time.


anyhoo, i'm off to the gym!!!


Ciao!!!!

salt isnt good for our bodies! i love salt!! *sigh

I love salt so much, I always use extra salt in my food all d time. I'm always told dat its bad, but now that I jus registered at a gym, I'm becoming a health freak. My money cannot go2 waste. Here's a little somn I read on salt giving u hypertension, and raising ur blood pressure or wateva:


Health Tip: Cut Down on Sodium



Many foods and recipes include lots of salt (sodium), which can raise your blood pressure.

The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute suggests how to cut down on sodium in your diet:

Purchase vegetables that are fresh, canned or frozen without any added salt.

Stick to fresh meat, fish and poultry instead of processed or canned products.

Season foods with salt-free seasonings, spices and herbs. Avoid instant pastas, rice and other foods with prepackaged seasonings.

If you do eat canned foods, rinse the contents to wash off some of the sodium.

Avoid prepared foods such as frozen pizzas or entrees.

Buy lower-sodium varieties of your favorite foods.




So there u go! Eat less salt *note2 self***



Kissesss,
Roman

my Horoscope for today.....very on point

Are you hoping for a personal transformation of some kind, Sagittarius? Do you wish to remodel your psyche to be less fearful, less indulgent, more confident, more financially secure, or even more attractive? These things are all within your grasp. You have a very, very strong mind - one of the strongest in fact. But to transform yourself, you need to spend some time in your cocoon figuring out you want to change and how to go about achieving it. A metamorphosis can take place in your life now. Embrace that possibility with typical Sagittarian practicality and you'll get the most out of it.



This is very true, becos firstly I jus registered at the gym yesterday (d attractive part), less fearful, less indulgent, more confident and financially secure. Dis is soo talkin to me! Like seriously. So now I'm jus gonna be in my cocoon and figure myself out. I seriously do not need any irrelevant distraction...So help me God.



Kissses,
Roman
