Ever since I went to work in my first job and stopped playing, my girth and weight expanded. I have always been fond of eating good food \u2013 specially the Indian home cooked \u2013 so it is rather tough for me to leave that. I have reduced my intake but there still remains a substantial amount on my plate when I start my meal.<\/p>\n
I have tried to lose weight and I did for a few months by cutting off on my food intake and also exercising everyday. But that regimen of eating little and ONLY healthy is really unrealistic. Also, I do not want to enter into that arena of specialised factory created special foods that look and taste like normal food but are low fat \u2013 for they will be so un-natural that if I dont die of heart attack, I will die of toxicity!<\/p>\n
I feel that there is a case to be made for moderation. But only so much moderation. After that your exercise \u2013 and regular, though even little (say, like 30 minutes) \u2013 should be able to handle your weight control. I want to move toward that paradigm. That is more realistic on the longer term basis and also makes your life as a thin six-pack ab guy worth living. After all, what is the fun in having six-pack abs but missing out on a morning breakfast of paranthas and managing it with just a small bowl of chemically treated cereal.. just for your low weight?<\/p>\n
One of the things that I need to do regularly is play. Something I have missed in so many years. Ever since I came to the US, I have lost all interest in sports anyways. I don\u2019t pretend to like baseball as most other NRIs do, now am I interested in American Football. And ever since the humanoids like Pete Sampras and Venus Williams hit the scene I lost interest in Tennis as well! It was no longer a human sport anymore. The state of cricket is in such a bad state that I am on the border of hating it as well. The current crop of cricketers dont help me much either.<\/p>\n
So, I need to find some motivating to start playing. Or I will have to do with the low fat cereals and \u201cleafy green salads\u201d. Oh for the Parantas!!<\/p>\n
Btw, any tips?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
