Previous Experience

During my primary and secondary schools period, I was an athlete for table tennis and Taekwon-do. As a school representative, I have to follow a strict diet of high carbohydrates and proteins to ensure i can have enough energy and stamina to sustain my high energy expenditure lifestyle. However this has become a problem when I stop joining these activities but still unable to switch to a normal balance diet. Thus, I begin to put on weight. Previously, i have tried a various methods to reduce weight, such as replacement of meals with organic fibre by Melilea, jogging and changing my eating habbit. Even so, all these method does not seems to work very well on me :(

Few years ago, a friend of my mother introduced me to consume MELILEA Greenfield Organic, after knowing the functions and the benefits of this organic drink, i decided to try it. I stop consume after four months because the taste is horrible, I felt as if a torture taking it as breakfast every morning. the product seems to be functioning well in the 1st 3 months as i followed the instruction from the seller to do 1 day meal replacement with only fruits and vegetable joince and the product. I did lose some weight and become healthier as i get sick less often in these few months. below I've attached a short introduction about the product:

Jogging is another activity I've tried to diet. Usually I will jog from my housing area to the nearby park and then rest a while and jog back to my house. But since i came to KL for study i can't find a suitable time and save route to jog. The safety in my area is questionable as there's a number of safety threatening cases such as pervert happened around this area. Another reason for me to stop jogging is due to no friend to accompany me to jogging. I find this to be demotivating because i used to go jogging with my mom when i was back in hometown. When there's someone doing a same activity as me, I feel more prompt and tend to do better as there's accompany.

Eating habits. When I started to realized about my increase in weight after stoping my usual sport activitiess, I begin to cut the amount of foods that I consumed. I took more vegetable in stead of high carbohydrate food (High Glycemic Index foods = 70-100) such as rice, bread, waffle, bake potato and so on. --> further information about Glycemic index
Yet, this does not show any significant reduction in my weight. So in the end I gave up on this plan as well...
