Things that are working for me from this list
- Work out in the morning (half hour combo of Bikram yoga, aerobics and free weights)
- 4 cups of tea (2 cups of green tea and 2 of orange pekoe)
- High protein intake (above the regular 15%. About 20 - 25%)
- 8 cups of water (includes my intake of tea / milk)
- Aerobics (jog inbetween a two mile power walk at 4 mph)

Go Green!

Ever wondered how the Japanese / Chinese are such a skinny nation?

Its in the green tea. Add a dash of honey and lemon and watch that fat melt.
2 - 3 cups a day is the recommended limit... but hey! even one cup works wonders for me.


Lipton Green Tea ~ $3 a box
Lemon out of a bottle *ya... ya! am lazy to squeeze!* ~ $1
Honey ~ $2
Drop a tea bag in 6 oz of water and heat in microwave for 1 minute.
Let it sit for about half a minute till the water turns green.
Remove tea bag add a dash of lemon and 1 tsp of honey and stir. All of 2 minutes to make. Tastes better as it cools down.
PS: Bigelow comes with a lemon flavored Green Tea which is quite awesome in itself

Apparently Green Tea...even Oolong Tea knocks off 5 years from the aging process.

Keeping sipping... and enjoy!
