Low Glycemic Weight Management

Regular exercise and a healthy diet are crucial when it comes to controlling your weight.

A weight management plan depends on whether you are overweight or underweight.

The recommended amount of body fat differs for men and women.
For women:
The recommended amount of body fat is 20 - 21%.
The average Malaysian woman has approximately 22 - 25% body fat.

A woman with more than 30% body fat is considered obese.

For men:
The recommended amount of body fat is 13 - 17%.
The average Malaysian man has approximately 17 - 20% body fat.
A man with 25% body fat or higher is considered obese.

Body mass index (BMI) is an indirect measurement of your body composition. It takes into consideration both your weight and height. BMI helps determine your risk for certain diseases, including diabetes and hypertension.

It is important to note that the terms "overweight" and "obesity" do NOT mean the same thing.

Weight management for people who have been overweight involves continued physical activity and monitoring the amount of food eaten.

I am sure you have heard of all types of diet eg Zone Diet, Blood Type Diet ,Cabbage Soup Diet, Atkin Diet ( the most talkabout diet in the late 90's. Btw i was on it for quite a while until i realised i have been putting my kidney at risk)( High protein , No Carb Diet has been proven to lead to kidney damage) and so on.

All the diets above either called for elimination of certain food which in the long run may not be healthy.

Lately Low Glycemic Weight Management ( Note: its not a diet but a weight management program ) has been proven to be the safest way to be on.

Currently i am on it after my pregnancy and i find that i don't get hungry often( you won't be seeing me searching for food in my kitchen cabinet), I get less agitated ( i normally get that when i am on other diet) I feel burst of energy in the morning ( usually it's a drag for me to get out of bed)
