How to Increase Metabolic Rate (Tips 1)

Eat small, frequent meals.

 
Extending the time between meals makes your body go into "starvation mode," which decreases your metabolism as a means to conserve energy and prevent starvation.You see, what happens is that your body stores fat, because it does not know the next time you will eat. So, starving or fasting will not help you lose any weight at all. Skipping meals does not help you cut calories or lose weight; in fact, people generally eat less overall when they eat small, frequent meals. In addition to having four to six small meals per day, eating healthy snacks will also increase metabolism.

 

Metabolic Rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. Very few people have a fast metabolism, and overweight individuals generally have slow metabolisms. However, a faster metabolism will enable you to level your diet and weight.

Cupcake utk Si Kecil

Hari ni aku perlu siapkan tempahan Steam Butter Cake yang dipesan oleh boss aku. Boss aku minta tolong aku buatkan dua biji steam butter cake aku yg warna warni tu untuk open house dia hari Sabtu ni. Memandangkan aku pun bukan ada apa sangat so aku setuju lah nak buatkan.

Yang nak dijadikan cerita, anak buah aku yg kecik, si Ayoi tu lah. Bila tau je aku nak buat kek dia punyalah suka. Siap bagi tau kat kakak aku yg aku nak buat kek untuk dia. pastu nak tunggu aku siapkan kek tu sampai tak nak balik umah dia walaupun mama dia dah sampai nak bawak dia balik. Dia takut aku tak buat n tak bagi kat dia.

Ishhh....psiko tul budak kecik ni. Dah dia mmg harap sangat so aku pun tak sampailah hati utk tak buat. Memula dok fikir nak buat sebiji kek untuk dia. Tapi aku risau pulak tak habis sebab sekarang ni kan musim raya so macam-macam biskut dengan kek ada dekat rumah. So lepas fikir punya fikir aku decided nak buat setengah biji je. Tapi risau gak aku kalau tak habis. Dia memang mintak tapi kadang-kadang makan sikit je. Nanti kang melambak kat atas meja siapa pulak nak makan kan?

So aku dapat idea. Daripada aku buat kek besar sebiji (wpun setengah adunan), baik aku buat cupcake je. lebih menarik dan cepat sikit nak habis rasanya. Tapi aku gunakan resepi yang sama lah. Cuma semua bahan-bahan kena bahagi dua lah. Termasuklah masa mengukus. Daripada sejam dan jadi setemgah jam.

Inilah hasilnya.....


Gambar tak cantik....Hp ada problem agaknya...

Pandangan dalam - kek dah terbelah
Aku buat macam-macam warna sebenarnya. Ada blue, orange n Pink. Flavour sama je cuma colour je lain. Semua kek ni berjaya aku siapkan pada pukul 11.45 tadi. Alhamdulillah. Harap-harap boss aku dan anak buah aku suka lah kek yang aku buat ni.

5 Food That Can Trigger a Stroke!!!

Something to share with u.
----------------------------
Few things feel more terrifying and random than a stroke, which can strike without warning. And fear of stroke -- when a blood vessel in or leading to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot, starving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients -- is well founded. After all, stroke is the number-three killer in the U.S., affecting more than 700,000 people each year. Here are five foods that cause the damage that leads to stroke.
1. Crackers, chips, and store-bought pastries and baked goods
Muffins, doughnuts, chips, crackers, and many other baked goods are high in trans fats, which are hydrogenated oils popular with commercial bakeries because they stay solid at room temperature, so the products don't require refrigeration. Also listed on labels as "partially hydrogenated" or hydrogenated oils, trans fats are found in all kinds of snack foods, frozen foods, and baked goods, including salad dressings, microwave popcorn, stuffing mixes, frozen tater tots and French fries, cake mixes, and whipped toppings. They're also what makes margarine stay in a solid cube. The worst offenders are fried fast foods such as onion rings, French fries, and fried chicken.
Why it's bad
For years scientists have known trans fats are dangerous artery-blockers, upping the concentrations of lipids and bad cholesterol in the blood and lowering good cholesterol. Now we can add stroke to the list of dangers. This year researchers at the University of North Carolina found that women who ate 7 grams of trans fat each day -- about the amount in two doughnuts or half a serving of French fries -- had 30 percent more strokes (the ischemic type, caused by blocked blood flow to the brain) than women who ate just 1 gram a day. Another recent study, also in women, found that trans fats promoted inflammation and higher levels of C-reactive protein, which have been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
What to do
Aim to limit trans fats to no more than 1 or 2 grams a day -- and preferably none. Avoid fast-food French fries and other fried menu items and study packaged food labels closely. Even better, bake your own cookies, cakes, and other snacks. When you can't, search out "health-food" alternative snacks, such as Terra brand potato chips and traditional whole grain crackers such as those made by Finn, Wasa, AkMak, Ryvita, and Lavasch.
2. Smoked and processed meats
Whether your weakness is pastrami, sausage, hot dogs, bacon, or a smoked turkey sandwich, the word from the experts is: Watch out.
Why it's bad
Smoked and processed meats are nasty contributors to stroke risk in two ways: The preserving processes leave them packed with sodium, but even worse are the preservatives used to keep processed meats from going bad. Sodium nitrate and nitrite have been shown by researchers to directly damage blood vessels, causing arteries to harden and narrow. And of course damaged, overly narrow blood vessels are exactly what you don't want if you fear stroke.
Many studies have linked processed meats to coronary artery disease (CAD); one meta-analysis in the journal Circulation calculated a 42-percent increase in coronary heart disease for those who eat one serving of processed meat a day. Stroke is not the only concern for salami fans; cancer journals have reported numerous studies in the past few years showing that consumption of cured and smoked meats is linked with increased risk of diabetes and higher incidences of numerous types of cancer, including leukemia.
What to do
If a smoked turkey or ham sandwich is your lunch of choice, try to vary your diet, switching to tuna, peanut butter, or other choices several days a week. Or cook turkey and chicken yourself and slice it thin for sandwiches.
How to Tell if Someone Is Having a Stroke
3. Diet soda
Although replacing sugary drinks with diet soda seems like a smart solution for keeping weight down -- a heart-healthy goal -- it turns out diet soda is likely a major bad guy when it comes to stroke.
Why it's bad
People who drink a diet soda a day may up their stroke risk by 48 percent. A Columbia University study presented at the American Stroke Association's 2011 International Stroke Conference followed 2,500 people ages 40 and older and found that daily diet soda drinkers had 60 percent more strokes, heart attacks, and coronary artery disease than those who didn't drink diet soda. Researchers don't know exactly how diet soda ups stroke risk -- and are following up with further studies -- but nutritionists are cautioning anyone concerned about stroke to cut out diet soda pop.
What to do
Substitute more water for soda in your daily diet. It's the healthiest thirst-quencher by far, researchers say. If you don't like water, try lemonade, iced tea, or juice.
4. Red meat
This winter, when the respected journal Stroke published a study showing that women who consumed a large portion of red meat each day had a 42-percent higher incidence of stroke, it got nutrition experts talking. The information that red meat, with its high saturated fat content, isn't healthy for those looking to prevent heart disease and stroke wasn't exactly news. But the percentage increase (almost 50 percent!) was both startling and solid; the researchers arrived at their finding after following 35,000 Swedish women for ten years.
Why it's bad
Researchers have long known that the saturated fat in red meat raises the risk of stroke and heart disease by gradually clogging arteries with a buildup of protein plaques. Now it turns out that hemoglobin, the ingredient that gives red meat its high iron content, may pose a specific danger when it comes to stroke. Researchers are investigating whether blood becomes thicker and more viscous as a result of the consumption of so-called heme iron, specifically upping the chance of strokes.
What to do
Aim to substitute more poultry -- particularly white meat -- and fish, which are low in heme iron, for red meat. Also, choose the heart-healthiest sources of protein whenever you can, especially beans, legumes, nuts, tofu, and nonfat dairy.
5. Canned soup and prepared foods
Whether it's canned soup, canned spaghetti, or healthy-sounding frozen dinners, prepared foods and mixes rely on sodium to increase flavor and make processed foods taste fresher. Canned soup is cited by nutritionists as the worst offender; one can of canned chicken noodle soup contains more than 1,100 mg of sodium, while many other varieties, from clam chowder to simple tomato, have between 450 and 800 mg per serving. Compare that to the American Heart and Stroke Association's recommendation of less than1,500 mg of sodium daily and you'll see the problem. In fact, a nutritionist-led campaign, the National Salt Reduction Initiative, calls on food companies to reduce the salt content in canned soup and other products by 20 percent in the next two years.
Why it's bad
Salt, or sodium as it's called on food labels, directly affects stroke risk. In one recent study, people who consumed more than 4,000 mg of sodium daily had more than double the risk of stroke compared to those who ate 2,000 mg or less. Yet the Centers for Disease Control estimate that most Americans eat close to 3,500 mg of sodium per day. Studies show that sodium raises blood pressure, the primary causative factor for stroke. And be warned: Sodium wears many tricky disguises, which allow it to hide in all sorts of foods that we don't necessarily think of as salty. Some common, safe-sounding ingredients that really mean salt:

  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
  • MSG (monosodium glutamate)
  • Disodium phosphate
  • Sodium alginate
What to do
Make your own homemade soups and entrees, then freeze individual serving-sized portions. Buy low-sodium varieties, but read labels carefully, since not all products marked "low sodium" live up to that promise.

Tazkirah Jumaat

Dari Abu Hurairah (r.a), Nabi bersabda: "Barangsiapa berpuasa Ramadhan lantas disambung dengan 6 hari di bulan Syawal, maka ia bagaikan telah berpuasa selama setahun".

Sesudah mengharungi pelbagai dugaan pada bulan Ramadhan dan berjaya menjalankan ibadah puasa, umat islam sekali lagi diberikan peluang merebut ganjaran pada bulan kemenangan, iaitu di bulan Syawal ini dengan satu lagi peluang yang tidak harus dilepaskan begitu sahaja untuk menambahkan pahala dan keberkatan di dunia iaitu dengan berpuasa enam. Satu keistimewaan yang difahami dari sabda Nabi Muhammad SAW itu ialah satu kebajikan dan peluang yang paling berharga disediakan kepada orang-orang yang mengejar nikmat dan kemurahan Allah taala sepanjang hidup terdapat pula di bulan syawal iaitu puasa enam hari di dalamnya.

Ganjaran pahala diberikan oleh Allah SWT kepada mereka yang berpuasa enam di bulan Syawal ini ialah seperti ganjaran pahala kepada yang berpuasa setahun. Diantara kelebihan puasa enam hari di bulan syawal ialah puasa enam umpama sunat rawatib sesudah solat fardhu bagi menampung kekurangan puasa fardhu menjadi tanda diterima puasa ramadhan yang kita kerjakan sebagai tanda bersyukur kepada ni'mat yang diberikan di bulan Ramadhan seperti nikmat kesihatan tubuh badan yang baik mendapat kebaikan berlipat ganda serta diangkat darjatnya memudahkan malaikatul maut mencabut nyawa.
Oleh yang demikian marilah kita merebut peluang yang ada dan mengerjakan puasa enam demi mendapatkan fadhilat yang ditetapkan Allah padanya serta inginkan keredhaan Nya.

Ammar Magic Hands!

It's not a magic hand, its just a proper strecthing. Aku panggil Ammar Magic Hands sebab kaki aku yang sakit tu bleh baik lepas Ammar buat proper strecthing tu. Memang best sangat-sangat dan aku rasa memang sangat-sangat magik lah.

Memula aku rasa magik ni bulan lepas. Masa tu memang giler sakit kaki aku. Aku kene rest for few days gak nak recover. Tapi hari tu aku pergi jugak gym sebab Ammar kata kalau kaki sakit aku still boleh buat upper body work out. So aku pergi jugaklah. Lepas habis workout tu lah Ammar tolong buat proper strecthing kat aku. Masa dia tolak talik tu memang makkkkk tolongggg sakit sehhh....Tapi lepas tu...Alhamdulillah. Memang rasa beza sangat.. My leg is back....Alhamdulillah. Sejak tu lah aku panggil that proper strechthing as Ammar Magic Hands. Sukati aku je kan. Hehhhee...

Semalam kaki aku sakit lagi sekali. Tak teruk macam hari tu tapi ada sikit-sikit macam hari tu lah. Mula sakit lepas buat total body workout on Tuesday tu. So tadi masa workout aku dok komplenlah pasal sakit tu. Ammar kata its ok, after wokout nanti i'll give u my magic hand. Lepas that proper stecthing memang aku rasa sangat lega. Alhamdulillah.

Thank u for the Magic Hands Ammar! :-)


Inilah tuan punya Magic Hands tu...:-)

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........

Fried Pasta & Fruits (Orange + Starfruit) 

Fried Pasta ni aku masak sendiri, dengan gigihnya malam tadi aku rebus pasta dan siapkan bahan-bahan. Pagi tadi selepas subuh aku merajinkan diri masuk dapur. Aku lebih suka masak sendiri sekarang ni sebab senang aku nak control minyak, garam, gula etc.

Untuk fried pasta ni aku letak corn, mushroom, shredded chicken, meatloaf dan salami. Ada carbo, ada vegie dan ada protein. Kira macam seimbanglah jugak kot...hehehehe..Tapi memandangkan vegie yang ada dalam pasta tu sikit sangat which aku rasa memang tak cukup, so aku bawak juga sebiji orange dan sebiji starfruit. :-)

Someone Like You!

I heard
That you're settled down
That you
Found a girl
And you're
Married now

I heard
That your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you

Old friend
Why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over

Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
'Don't forget me,' I begged
'I'll remember,' you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.'
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
It was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
'Don't forget me,' I begged
'I'll remember,' you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.'

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known
How bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
'Don't forget me,' I begged
'I'll remember,' you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'

Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
'Don't forget me,' I begged
'I'll remember,' you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'

Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

...

Mencintai seseorang itu adalah hak kita, namun memiliki seseorang yang kita cintai tanpa ikatan rasmi itu bukan hak kita. Jangan pernah takut melepaskan sesuatu yang belum berhak kita miliki. Dia pasti akan kembali seandainya Allah menjadikan ia untuk kau miliki atau Allah akan menggantikan dengan yang jauh lebih baik. Jangan pernah takut kehilangan sesuatu yang BUKAN hak kita...
