Zul & Zeal's 6 Week Weight & Health Transformation Challenge

When I was obese I used the fasting month to lose weight but I actually gain weight with interest 😅

The reason being is when we don't eat our body goes into starvation mode and it stops burning the fats and reserves it. And when we break fast and have too much carbs ie. Rice it burns that instead. Since we don't really exercise during this month our body burns less calories than we consume and the rest gets stored as fats hence the weight gain.

So moral of the story is the fasting month is not a platform to lose weight...

Alhamdulillah. We had a great Healthpointe Edisi Ramadan yesterday where I shared my testimony followed by a cooking demo. I did a Air Fried Spicy Garlic Tempeh. Lincin they all whack! ❤

What a difference proper nutrition and exercise will do to your appearance...

My weight spiked over the weekend due to the birthday celebration feast I had with my wife. But I wasn't worried because I know how to lose it. All I needed to do it to get my body back into Ketosis (fat burning) mode.

Lo and behold, after just 1 day I lost it back again 😁

Even if you are an obese like I was before, you can gain back your health and ideal weight in less than a year. If you want it badly enough and make a decision to take small daily actions you have won half the battle! 💪💪

The feeling of being able to fit into a super slim shirt after being fat for so long is worth more than gold! 😁

As I was spring cleaning my room, I found this jersey from 5 years ago still in its packaging. I have never dared to wear it because I was too fat. Being fat I had really low confidence and self esteem but now I can wear it proudly because I made a decision to have a life transformation. Alhamdulillah ❤

Finally found a Supermarket @ Mercearia, Plaza Shah Alam which sells this milk individually. A serving (200ml) of this +Protein milk plus my XS Whey Protein gives me a whopping 38g of protein! 💪💪

A great reminder for us to protect our dreams and not let anyone tell us that we can't achieve it! 💪💪

Kadang-kadang macam tak percaya tengok gambar dulu dan sekarang.

Dulu jadi obese sebab bertahun-tahun tak jaga makan dan tak bersenam. Tetapi pada akhir 2019 mendapat 'wake up call' dan terus memulakan transformasi hidup untuk keluar dari kemelut obesiti.

Alhamdulillah dengan izin Allah, istiqamah dan berbekal ilmu yang betul saya telah berjaya mengubah kehidupan kepada lebih sihat dan bermakna.

My starting point for my 6 Week XS Ripped Challenge. My goal is to increase my muscle mass by 10% and lose 6% fat mass. Wish me luck guys! 💪💪

Alhamdulillah. For the past year I haven't been sick once. Not only because I am physically active but I also educated myself on what nutrition to take to bridge the gaps and keep my body performing at the optimal level.

I did an experiment to prove that we don't need extreme exercise to lose or maintain our weight. For the past 2 days I skipped my 10k daily steps and just focused on my food intake.

I just ensured that my calories that I consume is less than the calories that I burnt (BMR). But I did not starve myself. I ate 11 times a day with high quality protein and low carbs and fat so my fat burns optimally.

But we won't be able to this on a consistent basis unless we change our mindset first and form the right eating habits which is something I learnt from Healthpointe.

I am not perfect. There will be times when I gain weight too but when you have the 'know how' of weight loss it goes right back down 😁

THE YOYO EFFECT AND HOW TO AVOID IT

A lot of people who have tried to lose weight probably can relate to this. Do you want to know why most people who lost weight but end up gaining it back?

I lost significant weight and got back in shape after my HIIT program at the gym in August 2020 (AFTER) but gained back the weight in October 2020 (AFTER AFTER).

During my stint at the gym I focused on high intensity work outs to lose weight but not so much on my diet. So when I completed my program and was not as physically active as before I started gaining weight (fat) again. This is due to the eating habits I have formed in the past and my lack of knowledge on the relationship with food.

Only after having a mindset shift and learning about good eating habits and making it habitual did I started to lose weight again and have been maintaining it for the past 4 and a half months.

'It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens'. Jillian Michaels

Just found out that my student lost 6kgs in 10 days with our Healthpointe program. Super proud of her! ❤

A lot of us don't drink enough water. Our body is 65% water and we need to stay hydrated for our body to function at an optimal level. Warning signs of dehydration include weakness, low blood pressure, dizziness, confusion, or urine that's dark in color.

But don't just drink straight from the tap. Drink filtered water which filters of the bad stuff. We certainly don't want our kidney doing the filtering.

A 70kg person will need at least 2 liters (8 cups) of water per day.

Drinking sufficient water also makes our skin healthier and prevents premature aging. Below is a picture of me before and after I started drinking lots of water.

Are you drinking enough water?

NUTRITION FACTS

'We are eating enough to prevent deficiencies (scurvy and beriberi) but not enough to prevent diseases'.
American Journal of Medical Association

Did you know that you need to burn 7700 calories per week to lose 1 kg of fat? That is about 18 hours of exercise per week. But how many of us have time to spend 2.5 hours to work out daily?

Hence, extreme exercise ie. Running 10km per day is not the solution for weight loss. You first need to replace your eating habits and change your environment which triggers your cravings for unhealthy food and snacks. This comes with having a mindset shift and forming good eating habits.

The secret to losing weight fast and getting optimal health is not through extreme exercise. It is actually through understanding the daily habits you need to form and implement consistently. If you are willing to learn then we are willing to teach you. DM me for a Zoom link to begin your 'Life Transformation Journey'.

After 16 weeks of doing Healthpointe my 6 pack abs are finally starting to come out 😁

A lot of people are worried when they see me. They think I am thin because I am sick. But in actual fact my weight loss is from body fat. My muscle mass is increasing and I am healthy as a horse. So don't worry too much ya 😁

A lot of people have asked me why my complexion is so radiant compared to before.

We just need to take sufficient nutrients from supplementation which most of us are not getting from our daily food intake ie. Protein and Vegetables. Also most of us are not drinking enough Water.
