Rules for Diet

The timing of this e-mail could’nt have been more perfect.

For months i had been trying to get myself enrolled at the nukkad ka gym. But just can’t seem to find the time or the energy to do so. Finally i have decided, if i cant go to the gym then atleast i should ‘try’ to go on a healthy diet.

So from tommorrow, i shall go on a strict diet regime with some guidance from the below mentioned ‘Handy rules for diet’, which i received as an e-mail fwd.

Here it is….

If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.

If you drink a diet Coke with a Mars bar, the calories in the Mars bar are canceled out by the diet Coke.

When you eat with someone else, calories don’t count if you don’t eat more than they do.

Food use for medicinal purposes never count, such as hot chocolate sundae, donuts, Cheesecake, Baskin Robbins’s ice -cream, etc. They are considered therapy food for situations such as, fight with girl friend/boyfriend, missing out on promotion at work, forgeting about the ‘shoe sale’ at your favourite store, no mention in the weekly ‘Bharitya Blog Mela’, etc.

If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.

Movie related foods, such as buttered/caramel popcorn, Simba chilli flavoured chips, five star bar, samosas, choco-cone ice cream, do not have additional calories because they are part of the entire entertainment package and not part of one’s personal fuel.

Cooky pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking causes calorie leakage.

Things licked off of knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Example: Nuetalla chocolate paste on a knife making a sandwich, and ice cream on a spoon making a sundae.

Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are spinach and pistachio ice cream, and mushrooms and white chocolate. NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.

*ps…the above list is not to be disclosed to dieticians and personal trainers.

Sakshi, good curriculum!
On a serious note, if you are serious about it…start having 5-6 meals instead of 3 meals but in small quanitities. I bet it will help you a lot!

Arrrrgg! Need dieting help!
OK, so about 5 weeks ago I began to change my diet. The first week and 1/2 were great, went from 225 to 215. However these last three weeks or so I've seen NO difference.

I've changed my eating habits a bit – used to eat fast food about 3 times a week, now maybe once every other week. Used to drink LOTS of soda, eat late late into the night, etc – basically bad eating habits.

I work out every other day – I ride my exercise bike for 20 minutes (yes not much, I'm building it up every time I ride) and run some during the week.

However I seemed to have hit a brick wall. Can anyone make some suggestions? I can list my diet if needed, however I don't think there is anything wrong with that and my goals. Anyways…
Thanks!
