      I have a non-existent metabolic rate. I am not obssessed with weight loss. Well honestly speaking, my BMI is in the healthy range. What I am trying to do is to kick start and up my metabolic rate. And to do that, I have to build muscle mass.


      I have done a detox and am now trying to turn my eating habits around. Unlike most people who have to cut down their meals, I have to eat more but not more of anything, mainly more proteins. Big breakfast, decent lunch and small dinner and limiting carbo to 1 meal only (breakfast or lunch).

      At the same time, I am also going for ba guan and lymphatic draining massage to help rid water retention and improve circulation.

      I have loss about 2kg of fats and gained about 1kg of muscle mass since I started. Loss a few inches too and the cellulites are lesser. Been a bit slack in the exercise department but gotta kick myself into stepping up or all the changes will not be that effective.

        ever since Young… I been trying very hard to lose my weight…


        and I always had that kind of plump plump look which I really hate to see my fladdy meat in the mirror,

        after so many years of trying… I give up totally

        only then I am recommended to take part in a weight loss contest which replaced two meals… I tell myself since I already try so many method why not… this

        I took Herbalife for about 4 months and I lose abt 9 KG and now I am near to my ideal BMI liao…

        and My dress size drop from XL to L… so happy…

                Me and hubby took Herbalife a couple of years back. I find it quite good cause I loss about 6 - 8kg and hubby loss about 5kg. After I got the weight that I wanted and I stop taking it & my weight still maintain there as long as you control your intake.

                    I stayed clear of carbohydrates eg rice, bread, noodles and potatoes, and ate lots of fruits and vegatables and drankslots of clear soup.

                    I also brisk walk 4km 3x/week.
                    I lost 7 kg in 1 year.
                    Very happy cos BMI = 21.5% now
                    However i lost lots of hair too!
                    Could not find out what’s the cause at first, then realize that i have omitted my staple food, rice.
                    Then resume eating rice, and 3 months later hair grew back, but weight still maintained!

                      Sigh! I want to put on weight instead. My current weight disgust me. I m too skinny. Everything I wear looks oversized. I hate my figure. But I just don’t have a good appetite. If I overeat, I’ll puke so I tend to take small meals. Even after giving birth, I m still not proud of how I look. Anyone knows of anything I can do to put on weight?

                        Wah if I have your problem, I will check out all the great buffet in town...ok here's to start you with a few:

                        1. Shangrila Hotel
                        2. Goodwood Park Hotel
                        3. Raffles Hotel, Billard Room
                        4. Marriot Hotel
                        5. Trader's Hotel (hearsay, yet to go but all above, tried and tested! MUST go)

                        Next I will go and check out all the great curry fish heads...

                        And finally DESSERTS! If I have a choice like you, I will eat up all the cheesecakes I can set my eyes on.

                        If you enjoy food alot like me...your appetite will grow. :celebrate:

                        Actually it is not the weight figure you have to worry about, more important to ensure that you are healthy...so please refrain from an overdose of cheesecakes, curry fishheads and most of the sinful food at the buffets. If you are skinny but healthy, just continue to be healthy. 😉

                        As for looking good in clothes you wear, shop at the right places.

                        Finally, this is something you really should research and check out. The TCM accupuncture to increase your appetite, I believe that works.
                        I have not had personal experience but I heard from many sources it works.
