MAKING OUR DREAM INTO REALITY
20 February, 2012
DREAM

Many times, when I watch T.V. programmes, for example, a cricket game or a dance programme or a music programme or a spiritual master's speech or a movie, my mind always dream taking the role of me to that of such a great sports person or singer or spiritual master or hero, etc. even I did not have capacity to do such celebrity's performance of atleast 10%. Why? Because always I only dream it and did not perform well. Similarly in my health goal, I failed many occasions to follow the doctor's advice and I have turned back half way in my health goal. Ultimately, it led my health bad situations to certain occasions. From the past 3 months,after becoming iHU member, in my experience, I would be able to follow my habit combos properly. In fact, iHU is another doctor to me. Thanks iHU.

 
Sonali Nahata Your Welcome Sir, we are glad our efforts are helping you. You are very dedicated, keep it up and stay healthy! 2 day(s) ago
Rajeev S Wow!! Shanmugam Vajravadivel, you are true brand ambassador of ihealthu.. I believe, brand ambassadors are the ones who understand the brand and then come up with right messages for the brands based on own experiences and finally inspire others to adopt the brand.. I'm adding my bit to what Sonali said: "Keep it up, stay healthy and inspire others to become healthy".. 1 day(s) ago

best diet plan 1) The very first thing u should keep in your mind and that is the extra weight u put on didn’t come in overnight so it is not possible and also unrealistic to take it off quickly. You have to show patience. Please remember learning to eat well and exercise is the only solution to long-term weight loss. 2) The 2nd important thing is that your body weight is controlled by the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day. So, if you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. You can do this by becoming more physically active or by eating less. 3) The 3rd important thing is never skip ur meal or go to a crash diet. Don’t ever try to starve urself. It is very important to understand that when you skip a meal or go on a crash diet, the result is that it slows your metabolism to conserve your energy. And when you lose weight too quickly for a few days, your body thinks it is threatened with starvation and goes into survival mode. It fights to conserve your fat stores. There fore keep in mind never try to skip ur meal, especially breakfast and always try to take food on time 4) Before starting any type of diet, weight yourself and note ur whole body measurement in a dairy. Then after every week weigh your self again and compare with earlier measurements and see how much weight u r losing. Record a goal that you can reach in one month that is 4 to 8 pounds less than you weigh now. Set a goal you know you can achieve. Now some tips how to set ur diet plan. 5) Start taking your food with out any oil. Try to use boiled/steamed vegetables, meat, and lot of salad. U can eat fruits too and boiled/steamed chicken or red meat too but no pork. Please note and put it in ur mind that nothing fried or oily. 6) Try to chew ur every food for atleast 20 times. And then swallow it into ur stomach. 7) No Potato Please. It is strictly forbidden during this diet No Junk Food Please. 9) Drink at least 3 ltr of water daily. Make ur

Its Day 87?
19 February, 2012

Yikes. Omg. More expressions of shock and internal pain. For all my promises that I would stay on the diet and do the exercising, I didn't manage to do it. Well, I did manage some exercising, but not so much that I could give myself credit. I suddenly remembered iHealthU and decided to get back on it. The exercising is going on, but good luck to me on the junk food bit! Its Day 1 all over again.

 
Sonali Nahata Good Luck Roshni! Glad you are back. Don't stress too much about not exercising. It takes time to get used to. Don't forget to add buddies they are very motivational. 1 day(s) ago

Three thing are good for your health.fruits,Nuts and olive oil.I am taking all three things daily.
