Not bad huh? I lost 7 pounds by just doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week. I was really surprised! A few years ago, I also tried going to the gym, sure I lost inches but the weighing scale just won’t budge! I was so frustrated! So imagine my happiness and shock that I actually lost a couple of pounds! From 187lbs, I am now 180 lbs!
Aside from my cardio exercises, only thing I changed was my diet. Thanks goodness for the blessing that came from my husband’s cousin. A registered nurse, she told me that it is very important to have a balanced meal, one that has fewer calories than what I usually consume. So recommended a nutritional protein shake wherein one glass is equal to a balanced meal with essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients. At first I was doubtful. A glass of shake for breakfast and dinner?! I will surely feel hungry in no time at all. But when I did try it, I actually felt full! I was pleasantly surprised. Imagine all the calories I escaped from by having only 80 calories for dinner! Before, I would have rice, viand (meat or fish) and dessert, plus cola or iced tea to wash it all down. Now I only mix 2 tablespoons of the protein drink mix to a glass of COLD water, and that meal keeps me full even a few hours after a full body work out! It’s really amazing!
