It is strange isn’t it? We have so many platforms to communicate through, yet we are lonelier than ever. We have do many people to talk to, yet we are unable to share our truest, deepest feelings. Earlier, I felt like eating whenever I felt alone. While watching television or a movie or while readingContinue reading “Is food a friend of the lonely?”

Reducing weight for yourself
People venture into weightloss due to a lot of reasons. Some do it to please their spouses, some for their children, others do it to look better etc. I have lost weight earlier too. However, at that time, my reasons were different. They were about looking good or pleasing my late husband etc. The factContinue reading “Reducing weight for yourself”
When your feel your body responding
The first few weeks of the fat loss program, especially for someone like me, were a torture. The exercises were killing and my body protested vehemently on every move that I made.

Resistance to fatloss

The smoothies that I had to drink were also not acceptable. You know the paradox? I had come here to lose weight. My mind wasContinue reading “Resistance to fatloss”
Foods that are designed to keep you fat

Sedentary lifestyle coupled with packaged, butter oozing foods have expanded our waist lines and choked our arteries. What do all fast foods have in common? Why are they so appealing? Why are they so popular? The interesting bitContinue reading “Foods that are designed to keep you fat”
Relearning chewing
If there is one thing I have learnt in these last few days is that chewing plays a great role in controling obesity. I have always been a fast eater. For most of the years, I have been proud of this habit of mine. My time management was impeccable because I never ‘wasted’ a lotContinue reading “Relearning chewing”
