so u see..instead of just eating the boring.. meat, slices of bread n fruit..u can interchange them tomake a variety... hence u wont feel bored eating the samething everyday..this diet is quite flexible..the problem is... even though i follow the diet... i tend to expand the portions a little bit... hmmmm...

A systematic diet

Halil n i..we had tried simple less excessive eating... unfortunately.. none of them work.. This time, we have decided to follow the diet program that halim n özlem r following..

Bear in mind that this diet program r divided into many stages... Here is Stage 1.

Date: 12nd March till 22 nd March
Duration: 10 days
Expected kilo loss: 4kg

Halil: 98.6kg
Simah: 75.8kg

Daily Menu

Be4 breakfast:
1. 1 glass of warm water
2. 1 glass of room temperature water

Morning Breakfast:
1. 1 match box sized white cheese or an egg
2. 2 thin slices of bread

*tomatoes, cucumber n any green veggies has no intake limit

In between breakfast n lunch:
1. one glass of milk or i glass of yogurt or 2 glasses of ayran (a drink where water, salt, yogurt n a bit of milk r mixrd together)

Lunch:
1. 2 meat portions or 4 tablespoons vegetable dish with one meat portion or 6 tablespoons chunk/minced meat in vegetable dish

4 fruit portions

I will scan in the portion measurements later when i have the time. Let us just say that one portion of meat/chicken shoud be the size of an egg...m the fruits..1 fruit portion is usually equavalent to one fruit

Halil's aim is to lose his weight till he is 80.. mine is 60 kg .. i want to be within that weight range by the time insyaAllah i go back to Malaysia... let us say summer 2008...

Yes... loads of white cheese..n we r expected to drink 10-15 glasses of water on daily basis
n yes... Salads r free anytime n in any amount!

Wish us luck!
