The Success Secret - Six a Day

While everybody is drowned in the sea of World Cup 2010 mania, let me just plough my way in sharing with you the Big Secret for becoming a TBL Champion. Eat six times a day, (WHAT?? 6X!! Hamdi surely will laugh all the way to the kitchen now!!!!!), consuming a portion of protein and a portion of carbohydrates every two to three hours.

It's important to remember that by eating six times a day, it does not mean you're consuming twice as much food (faham tu Hamdi!) - it just means you're taking the three square meals you'd naturally consume and spreading them out throughout the day.

Of course, you may be accustomed to eating the typical three square meals a day. I used to feel that when I ate three meals a day, I'd feel bloated and miserable!

In truth, it's not the way we're wired, nor the way our prehistoric ancestors ate. They were frequent feeders, hunter gatherers who ate whatever they could whenever they could.

That should be your goal: to feed your body throughout the day, every two to three hours. (Nih, this is not a trick to lure you into losing the next phase of Juara TBL in the next six months - but this is the real SECRET to success!!) By eating frequently, you'll keep your food alarm quiet and your metabolism humming. It's easier for your digestive system to deal with a steady stream of nutrients than a sudden tidal wave ( as happens when you binge or stuff yourself with a feast). Listen to what a real CHAMPION has to say on this: "Since starting this program on Healthy Life Style, my knowledge of nutrition has changed completely. My grocery cart is now filled with good quality protein, complex carbs, fruits and veggies. I understand how important it is to feed your body six times a day with quality fuel and how it effects not only your body, but your mind as well."

Portion Control

We repeat: The way to become a JUARA is to eat six times a day. This means eating small, frequent portions of food.

Small portions mean an amount of food roughly equal to the size of your clinched fist or the palm of your hand. This method automatically customises the proper portion of food for you and your needs. Think about it: A 5'4", 135-pound woman has much smaller hands than that of a 6'1", 200-pound man.

Just as we urged you to forget about the scale and pay attention to the mirror when it comes to gauging the progress of your body transformation, so too, when it comes to food, we urge you to forget about calories and pay attention to portions.
