Kuching - National Diabetic Conference

I am leaving to Kuching on the 6th till 11th Oct for NADI roadshow there. My first time to go to East Malaysia, lots to expect.

This would be my 3rd time to join NADI roadshow, meeting lots of doctors, nurses, nursing tutors and medical trainees in this event.

We are introducing The Cambridge Health and Weight Plan to this group of people with the intention to get them to help themselves and also their patients to maintain the healthy BMI. Why? Obesity is getting worse worldwide, even lots of doctors in Malaysia are overweight, so it doesn't sound convincing if these doctors ask us to "stay healthy" when they don't look "healthy" right?

I hope can get more doctors to go on the weight management plan during the visit.

Real People, Real Support, Real Result!

The ‘Men Are From Mars’ Diet

How men approach weight loss and why

It struck me whilst sitting in on a couple of weight loss focus groups recently what huge differences there are between the sexes when it comes to dieting. Now, I’m sure this doesn’t come as a great shock to anyone but what was interesting was the different reasons given in these Groups for going on a diet.

Predominately the woman said they were trying to lose weight either for their own health or because they wanted to look ‘good’. None of those in the female groups said they were doing it for their family.

The guys on the other hand all seemed to be doing it for someone (or something) else. Nearly all of them were dads and this was a big factor in their motivation to lose weight. Even our own Slimmer of the Year, Adam Fisher, says that he didn’t want to be the fat dad at the sports day or when picking the kids up from school – and ended up losing a lot of weight.

The male group had all shifted the reasons away from themselves and onto other people. One or two said their partners nagged them so much about their weight they were doing a diet under duress (is that a route to success?) Or they were doing it with their partners as a show of solidarity. Whilst some had particular medical issues that losing weight could alleviate.

But mostly it was about the men recognising their own mortality – they wanted to play football with their sons and be there to see their daughters grow up and get married.

Even though the balance of power in modern relationships has shifted to the centre (with work and home responsibilities being more evenly shared) these men still saw it as their duty to ensure they would be around (and, one should suppose, to look after and support) their family as long as they could.

The media messages about the dangers of overweight and obesity has really struck a cord with these guys. None, however, said they were doing diet to fit in a particular sized pair of jeans.

When choosing which diet to go on, nearly all of the men were put off by group meetings, preferring one-to-one at worst and not meeting anyone at all but reading it from a book at best. But when the groups got around to discussing being on the Cambridge Diet, the men really showed why they are mainly from Mars!

They loved being on Cambridge because of the ‘strategic’ approach it allowed them to take to their weight loss. Nearly all of them had created a computer spreadsheet tracking their weight and BMI over the period they were using it.

Some had worked out almost to the day when they would reach their goal weight because they knew exactly how many calories per day they were consuming and expanding (one brought a print out with him to the group to show everyone else).

They loved the simplicity of the Diet and the ‘no hassle’ nature of preparing it. Many of them had already gone through the Atkins Diet book and so understood the low carbs / ketosis philosophy.

Above all the men wanted something that was simple, based in fact, backed up by science and gave you quick results without to much ‘faffing’ about.

Maybe it’s no surprise whatsoever to know that the creator of the Cambridge Diet’s was a man looking for the exact same things.

What it takes to be a successful Cambridge Counsellor

Would you like a job with loads of satisfaction and where you meet lots of different people? Then why not speak to your Cambridge Counsellor about becoming one yourself!

Being a Cambridge Counsellor can be both a mentally and financially rewarding job. However it does involve hard work and dedication to help your customers reach their goals and overcome the hurdles along the way.

To become a Counsellor you must have used the Cambridge Diet Programmes successfully yourself – this will enable you to give advice to others using your knowledge and experience of the Diet steps.

There are certain essential ingredients which you need to become a Counsellor yourself. You must have good inter-personal skills with an interest in helping people and have a real enthusiasm for the Cambridge Diet products and programmes. You need to have spare time which you can dedicate to your Counselling and it is essential that you are keen to motivate and encourage people. If you have these attributes then Cambridge Counselling could be for you.

As you will know from your own experience of the Diet, it can be particularly difficult in that first week, so we strongly recommend that Counsellors contact their customer on day two or three, just to see how they are getting on and to offer some words of encouragement. All customers should be seen on a regular basis – preferably weekly, just to ensure that they are feeling OK and also to supply them with their next week’s worth if Diet products.

If you have the stated quality, do contact Lucius at 012-670 9385 for details and let’s help to fight obese together!

宿便--造成肥胖

肥胖產生的原因

「宿便」囤積在腸內時，其毒素會被小腸當作養份而吸收，被運送至肝臟，這些毒素會使肝臟的機能衰弱，對血液和其他組織內分泌系統、新陳代謝系統，造成不良的影響，而引起肥胖症，皮膚偏黃偏黑，長痘痘等表象。

「宿便」是黏附在腸壁，產生毒素的老舊廢物，不易排出，很容易產生有害健康的毒素。若是「便秘」，只要排出舊便即可，但是「宿便」卻沒這麼簡單，每天排便的人也會有宿便，以煙囪做為比喻，每天排出來的糞便是煙，囤積在煙囪內壁的煤渣便是宿便，這就是「宿便」與「便秘」明顯的差異。

＊宿便會產生四大問題 

１．阻礙營養吸收：宿便會壓迫小腸絨毛的活潑彈性，即使吃了有益健康、有營養的食物，還是無法真正吸收到養份。進而阻礙各細胞活化，代謝能量吸收，導致人體抵抗力降低，提早老化。

２．污染血液：在小腸內的宿便，一旦發酵、脹氣所產生的化學毒素，就會直接進入血液到全身造成酸毒症(acidosis)。不但會加重肝、腎、皮膚三大排毒器官的負擔，降低滅菌、解毒、淨血、代謝功能。且會有懶散、想睡、頭痛、腹脹、肩酸、易疲勞、口臭、口乾舌燥等症狀發生。

３．壓迫內臟：在腸道附近的器官，最容易受到壓迫、擠壓、移位，產生各種內臟疾病。尤其是胃部、子宮、肝臟、腎臟、攝護腺、膀胱等，是各種五臟六腑慢性病的前兆。

４．改變體型：宿便脹大，不僅影響循環代謝、腹部及脊椎形狀，更是產生肥胖的重要因素。

眾多肥胖者常為「便祕」或「宿便」所苦惱，飲食過量，遂造成「宿便」的囤積，而由於營養不均衡的障礙，遂導致肥胖。宿便脹大，不僅影響循環代謝、腹部及脊椎形狀，更是產生肥胖的重要因素。若要消除肥胖，首先得排除「宿便」，「宿便」一經排除，那麼「便秘」也一定能根治，腸道順暢，超過的體重消失，腹部平坦，這不只是「減肥」療養，更是排除「宿便」療養。

此外，標準體重者，每週進行一次排除「宿便」療養，讓腸道做到良好的「自我清洗」功夫，以維護腸道的通暢無阻，可排除多餘脂肪，膚質、髮質也因而從中獲得更佳的營養吸收。

該是陳舊的、很長時間以來黏附在腸壁內絨毛之間的渣滓，便開始脫離了腸壁，可排出特別有刺激味的，很陳舊的腸道內容物，當腸道終於把它的陳舊污垢排除後，可感覺到從來沒有的舒服感，這時候腸道代謝正常了，屬於腸道壁內所分泌的胃液、腸液分泌功能，也將趨於正常。新陳代謝良好，均衡的營養素，順利的被腸道絨毛吸收，這時候腸道的消化、吸收、排泄皆暢通無阻，人體健康自然得到改善。消脂減重，代謝掉過剩的脂肪、排除體內廢物，皆是必然的作用。透過腸道良好的自我清洗，可排除腸道中的毒素，和長期黏附在腸道內壁上的渣滓－「宿便」，能夠增強腸壁的緊張力，促進腸道蠕動和血液、淋巴液的循環，有消除脂肪的功能，可代謝出過剩的脂肪。

如果腸道內容物在同一個地方停留較久，總是會產生更多的毒素和氣，這代表排泄物通過大腸時「速度嚴重緩慢」的信號，「腸道的清洗」是迫不及待的工作，在飲用期間，可讓腸道有足夠的間隔時間休息，而這時候肝臟會排除從腸道進入血液的有害物質，脂肪組織和結締組織中新陳代謝產生的廢物也將被溶解掉。這些毒素會通過腸道、腎臟、肺部和皮膚排除掉。

您知道嗎？積壓在人體腸內的宿便重達３～ ５公斤 ，潛藏在腸道內的宿便一旦發酵或起化學變化，它所產生的毒素將侵入人體各部組織及器官，尤其是降低肝臟代謝、滅菌、解毒、淨血功能。

無論如何，在百忙中抽出時間，為我們大、小腸定期大掃除非常重要。為了我們後半生的健康，清除宿便，保健養生是必要的。

●建議食用富含水溶性纖維食品「黑木耳」 防便秘 、宿便

台北醫學大學附設醫院營養室主任蘇秀悅：
水溶性纖維豐富是黑木耳的一大特色，它不但能刺激腸道蠕動，幫助排便及預防便秘，還有降低膽固醇效果。除了水溶性纖維豐富，黑木耳幾乎沒什麼熱量，而且，木耳沒有特別的味道，跟任何蔬菜都可以搭配，也可以跟肉類一道烹煮，對想減肥的人，是絕佳的瘦身食材。煮得軟爛的黑木耳，吸附水分後，還可以增加飽足感，達到控制食欲的目的。

The Cambridge Diet Training, UK Trip

I have just got to know I have been selected to be one of the 15 to go to Cambridge University on the beginning of September of this year. We are going for a training on THE CAMBRIDGE DIET, in helping people to lose weight, better health and solve some health problems like gastric, headache, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart problem, etc.

This would be a very good life experience as it is not easy to have a chance to be in the Cambridge University even though we have the money and I am looking forward to the visit.

After the training I believe I can do even much better in my consultation to those who are suffering from health problem, my objective is to help as many people as I could in either losing weight, to improve health problem, etc. The satisfaction out of this is what keeps me going and upgrade myself further and further.

Another Candle Light Vigil

Today’s gathering was very meaningful, Raja Petra was there too and he gave a very nice speech.

Christmas songs were sung and the atmosphere was so warm and touchy, when can we achieve at truly Malaysian society instead of a Malay, Chinese, Indian society?

One of the activist passed away last week of his 28 years in this world, I saw him few times and never put much attention to his existent before this. A young Malay boy with plum body shape, my profession is telling me that he was having high internal body fat which causing his sudden heart attack.

I would love to advice our Malay friends out there to cut down the intake of food made from coconut milk as it is really fattening; try to have dinner earlier and less sweet drinks.

Do regular exercise and go for check-up regularly too.

I would love to take this opportunity to offer a free health check to public, the checking is simple and you are expecting to know the fat level in your body. Too much fat sticking on the wall of blood vessel and surrounding internal organs is not good for health, so my target is to help more people in reducing your body fat before too late. My contact is in my profile so please feel free to give me a call for a free body fat check.

Finally, truly Malaysian, a healthy nation!

Last Road show for the year of 2008

Safety & health carnival 2008

Organiser: Malaysia Airlines

Date: 17 & 18 Dec 2008

Venue: Administration Building, KLIA

It was a road show in providing free body fat check for Malaysia Airlines staff, mostly Malay friends and majority are overweight or having high internal organ fat. From the observation and survey knowing that their problem is caused by their diet, eating habit and lack of exercise.

The two days exhibition there was quite happy and enjoyable. On the first day, the consultation was non-stop, people were queueing up for the checking and consultation. We were consulting and consulting till sore throat, and the place was very cold.

The security of that place was very tight, I was glad to have the chance to be in it and it is a good experience. :)
