How on Earth Do i Get in Shape?

Prom is around the corner, your wedding is a month away, Christmas looms in the not to distant future worst still a blind date your best friend set you up on is booked reservations and all for next week.

Do my clothes fit? Do i need a new outfit that will hide my imperfections? Will she be staring at that other guy across the table? Not all valid but most of these questions do run through your mind at least once. The modern man does sound a lot like the women of the nineties. it seems that the pressure of looking just right has now crept into our side of the court and constantly stares us down everytime we look at ourselves in a mirror.

My first tip about getting in shape fast is to visualise what you want to achieve. Go ahead and be as unreasonable as you want. If your 16 you'd probably want to wolf it out as Taylor Lautner or if your hitting 40 claw your way, chest hair and all into a singlet the way only wolverine knows how to.

On to my second tip. Watch what you eat. It is a myth that dieting is about eating less. What some people charge to tell you and im now typing for free is that dieting is about eating every 3 to 4 hours. So eat....the right stuff. No Ramli burger at the stroke of midnight , no more M & M's while watching re runs of FRIENDS and please no nasi kandar after lunch.

Ahhhh so i can have nasi kandar? well preferably not but if u need to satisfy the inner call for curry do it once a week. Rice is good for a pre workout meal in small portions not the double serving you usually have on a banana leaf soaked in curry and doused with sweet sauce. Yes i know that may not be helping right now but STAY STRONG GENTLEMEN.Remember what you visualized yourself looking like. Its a goal u gotta achieve. The best part about physical goals they are so attainable!!!!!

Heres what you do eat
BREAKFAST : cereals (oats, whole meal, even nestle cornflakes), juice (fresh is best), eggs (never fried)

LUNCH : rice(in small portions) , chicken (never fried), vegetables (the fresher the better)

DINNER : Tandoori chicken (best served dry)and chappati, Dark chocolate (in small amounts), fish or chicken (never fried), Fruits (guava, grapes, apples or bananas)

THE IN BETWEENERS : to be revealed in my next post
