It’s getting easier as the days go by, I can tell you that. Even if I’m not used to eating healthy, I’m not entirely unfamiliar with it. As with most diets, it needs getting used to and accepting the changes that are happening.

What I learned from the past five days:

It’s nice when people are supportive of your way to a healthy lifestyle.

The boyfriend wakes me up extra early morning to do at least 10 minutes of cycling on the stationary bike. The people at work rooted for me. Our maid makes sure to cook only healthy meals. I feel lucky that I get the support I need.

Switch to healthier alternatives

I’ve started eating NESTLÉ FITNESSE, regular milk to low-fat, from white sugar to brown sugar, white rice to brown rice and instead of tasty bread, I choose wheat bread at it contains more fiber.

With this program, I make sure one or two of my meals consists of 50% greens, 25% proteins, and 25% carbs. I also make sure I drink 8 glasses of water a day to keep hydrated!

I thought that I wouldn’t like the balanced meal part of this program but I was wrong. The meals that I have been eating are really tasty! Compared to the drastic diet I did in the past, the 14-Day NESTLÉ FITNESSE Program might be the right fit for me.

Breakfast is important!

A breakfast meal that is easy to prepare is a bonus for me because it gives me more time to prepare myself for work (read: More time to do my makeup!) I notice that I feel much better whenever I eat NESTLÉ FITNESSE Cereal for breakfast compared to my usual sinangag or pandesal.

I’m still getting there… For someone who enjoys her 3x a day rice meals, this diet sure isn’t a walk in the park. I won’t lie to you and say it’s easy to resist. It isn’t. My only consolation is that NESTLÉ FITNESSE tastes good and I didn’t mind eating it once or twice a day for the last five days.

So wish me luck, ladies! I’m slowly but surely paving way to a healthier Shen!
