Doctor's advice regarding diets and exercise (Part 2)



Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"

Losing weight


Getting older makes us gain weight. The stomach starts to bulge and the body get out of shape. What to do?

Start a contest to lose weight by June. What are the results of the coffee barkada?

1. Join a health club but no time to go. After a few months, stop the membership and join a yoga class. Wait for the next chapter (or hintayin ang susunod na kabanata).

2. Pretend that losing weight is easy. With June nearing, still need to lose more than 10 kilos and rising. Panic time so do fasting during the Holy Week. Maybe praying will help too.

3. Go on a diet while travelling to China and Thailand and get impressive results. Lose 10 kilos in 3 weeks. But recently gone binge eating - consuming Doritos and cake. Gained back some kilos.

4. Don't eat after 6 pm.

5. Eat as much as you want but don't swallow the food. Like a monkey.

Less than 2 months to go before June.
