Fitness in Malaysia
Ok i've been observing somethings in MALAYSIA as i know it.
VERY LITTLE and i repeat VERY LITTLE Malaysians put any importance in their own fitness AND nutrition. Everyone around me either eat the junk from the Double Arches and down it with a BIG GULP or nasi lemak and nasi kandar. I'm saying its ok to eat these type of food if 90% of your meals are following the correct nutrition with enuf macronutriens.
In Malaysia, our vegetable intake is really disturbing. When, dining out, the amount of vegetable one gets, is comparable to the size of Malaysia on Asia. Yeap....
our vegetable serves as garnish in this land of Bolehlah.
I've been watching what i eat after i purchased a book written by TOM Venuto last year around May 2005. It really is an awakening to my fitness awareness. However,very little ppl in Malaysia can accept my eating habits. Name one. Dora, my sister who eats like an Italian. Even my other sisters cringe to make sure I get the point that my eating is inconceivable. My own boyfriend tease me of eating like a cow. Sigh.
To the point, I'm sure everyone has received their share of misinformation....but we do get our share of information of making sure more vegetables and fruits are integrated into our diet. I've heard excuses like eating fruits are dangerous to health becos of their high sugar levels. Bah...rubbish. Fruits and vegetable are our heritage. Our bodies are meant to eat this type of fibrous carbs. I never heard anyone complain of the sugar levels of a Big Mac.
I'm writing this as a declaration of defiance to the norm.
I'll be updating workout journals and organising the regime and routines i'm following soon.

veggies r good, easily digestible. rice, bread and other carbohydrates get converted to sugar in the body so it's not just the sweet stuff you eat that's sugar.
what can one eat safely nowadays? fruits and veggies have chemicals sprayed on to make them look fresh, chickens are given hormones to make them grow faster, fish are sometimes caught in Indah water pools, etc

to richard kat,
most ppl give excuses like the ones u mentioned. chemicals, hormones, etc... trust me, all that aint nothing compared to eating McD's mcValue meal. If there's a will, there's a way. If concern on chemicals, get hidroponics, on chicken with hormones, get packaged chicken hormone free. but most ppl just give up. My suggestion, eat the vegies, 5 small meals a day. Baby steps first then move to concerns.
