8 ways for Healthy Living, Diet Plan & Effective Weight Loss: Part2
2. Plan for Fat Reduction (not weight loss)
You can only reduce body fat if you consume less calories and fat than your body uses for its metabolism, daily activity and exercise. Any effective body fat reduction will only happen when you create a deficit of at least 500 calories a day. Reducing the percentage of dietary fat alone will not produce weight loss unless total calories (energy input) are also reduced.
Make sure you eat food that gives you enough nutrients through out the day foods such as: fish, lean meat, vegetable , fruits and nuts as snack. This way you can cut back on fat and calories but make sure you don't cook your meals with lots of oil and butter or other fats. If you plan your weight loss, do everything in moderation you will see success in the future.

Tea Bag or Loose Leaf?
Many people may prefer one or the other but really which one is better?
People who are not exposed to loose leaf tea will more than likely choose plain supermarket brand tea. I think it's more to do with convenience.
However, not all tea bags are bad. in fact there are quite a lot of options out in the market nowadays ranging from flavoured Black tea, Green tea and even Rooibos. You will find more variety in health or organic shops.
Then you have the powdered and flavoured variety. But we'll save that for a later discussion.
I suppose I am somewhat biased towards Loose leaf tea because I can always taste the difference. The taste and smell is absolutely divine. And because fresh is always better, you get all the anti oxidants, undiluted.
Whatever it is you prefer, enjoying the experience is all that really matters, isn't it?

Being subjected to several processes including withering, rolling, drying, cutting and blending; the intensity of the tea is lost and most of the flavour is severely affected. A friend of mine described it as tasting 'like brown paper dipped in water'.

I don't know about you but when I make a cup of tea, I go on relaxation mode straight away. I take a deep breath to smell that gorgeous exotic scent, and can't stop that sigh that escapes my lips when I take my first sip. Aaah....
