Re: I Want to Wrap My Self-Esteem in a Package of Improbable Preservation! Rah Rah Rah!

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:24:11 -0000

I think some of us still live in the past, especially in those days where we have been successful or happy. And when the chance comes to re-live these experiences again, why not? These ladies just want a piece of themselves back.

Re: How To Get On An Information Diet

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:11:31 -0000

hey that was a comprehensive list focusing on finding information on the internet. I think we are seriously too overloaded with information everyday. Time to de-clutter for the new year!

Re: Comparing Strategies for Weight Loss Maintenance

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:12:27 -0000

It all boils down to self-discipline, whether there is a personal trainer or not. I am not overweight myself but I am trying to lose the 'extra' fats to get my abs. And yes, I have difficulty trying to control my diet.

Re: Child Abuser Anthony Badalamenti Linked to Anabolic Steroids and Roid Rage

Its sad to see how drugs can change a person's life. But 20 minutes of insanity shouldn't be treated lightly. Can he himself take 20 minutes of whipping?

hi admin,
thanks for the post. Please check out my youtube video too for other weight loss foods.

Re: PETA says meat eaters should pay more insurance

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:50:40 -0000

I would like to think that those insurance companies that go ahead with this suggestion will go bankrupt instead. And I know of vegetarians who live healthy lifestyles, one of them even a bodybuilder.

Re: Corporate No-smoking Policies Raise Tough Questions

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:05:57 -0000

If employees are unhappy with a company's policies, they can just quit their jobs. Just like if you are unhappy with the salary, you can just walk off. This might create a new wave where companies follow suit. Then again, implementing such measures don't come cheap. But at the end of the day, those who do quit will be thankful to their employers. To better health!

Re: His and Hernia; or, Navel Reconnaissance

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:47:03 -0000

Hey, so how's your current condition? Taking into account that this blog was posted a year ago....or coming 2 years in fact. And are you still losing the weight that you have to?

Re: Weight loss soups

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:44:26 -0000

I am a great fan of "Niang Dou Fu" but I eat it with dry noodles. Soup I just drink. haha. And ya, I just realised you are a fellow Singaporean!

Re: Weight loss soups

hi 高记 is cool. but i can settle for any stall.

Re: Counting Calories

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:38:38 -0000

I think it's all about self-discipline. I am nowhere near overweight but I still try to lose those 'extra' fats so that I can have my abs. Without doubt, I am having my difficulties keeping my diet.

Re: Weight Loss Device that Works

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:52:39 -0000

It just seems kinda funny. And it looks reallllyyyyy uncomfortable. Maybe that's the whole idea after all? Eat less?

Re: quit smoking online

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:58:25 -0000

Although this whole idea might work because of its novelty, most people will lose interest in time to come and give up eventually. By hiding behind a screen, you can just 'take leave' anytime you want. It's more like a self-denial.

If you are really keen to quit smoking, you should meet up with these professionals. They will help you to keep track of your records. Would anyone be self-disciplined enough to track themselves? If so, they need not even need this service!

Re: UK: Warning to men over fake drugs

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:43:39 -0000

There were quite a number of death-related cases with men using drugs that weren't prescribed in my country. So guys, do the right thing. Don't go cheap and end up somewhere else!

Re: A Website Dedicated to Helping you Make Money Online

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:50:46 -0000

Blogging is by far one of the easiest way to make money online. However, it gets more & more difficult to get noticed online since hundreds of blogs are started everyday. Most people give up trying after that. But if you choose the right niche and given the right tools, your blog will not go unnoticed. You just need a little more effort than your competitors.

Re: Private: New York City To Test Targeted Digital Ads On Buses

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:28:13 -0000

This will be so cool in my country Singapore. Please visit us!
And talking about targeted advertising, this should work very well. Then again, this should come with a hefty price-tag.

Re: Can the French really ban pro-thin websites?

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:03:26 -0000

I think it's never really easy or even possible to ban such sites, or any other sites that might pose a threat to our society. The best way is still through education. As you mentioned, by trying to confront the issue openly, we are merely driving it deeper into our society. And when the issue re-emerges, it will be more deadly, more threatening.

Re: Aerobic Cross Training for Weight Loss

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:49:42 -0000

hey Greg, that was a great post on aerobics x-training. But is walking considered aerobics since our heart beat doesn't increase significantly although it does helps to burn off a little fat.

Re: Weight Loss Tips: A Step-by-Step MindMap

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:57:35 -0000

Wow, that was an awesome mindmap. I thought it was complicating from the screenshot above until I visited your site. Comprehensive and simple to understand. Is there one for gaining muscles as well? Somewhat similar?

Re: Weight Loss Tips: A Step-by-Step MindMap

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:42:30 -0000

Hey Marc, thanks for the reply! Good work once again! Erm, where can I find the link to the one on muscle building?

Re: Dangers of Using Laxatives For Weight Loss

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:22:11 -0000

I think such slimming teas do work, but they can be quite nasty to your digestive system. In addition, they might cause inconvenience to the user who needs the toilet every now and then.

Re: Quitting Meth IS Possible

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:05:04 -0000

I'm really impressed with the way you tried to kick the habit. Although I have not tried it before, the consequences are enough to put me off.

Quitting a bad addiction is all about will power. And the realisation that God is around to help you out of the shit. All it takes is the first step. All the best to you!

Re: 101 thoughts on losing 100 pounds

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:11:05 -0000

Oh man, this list is sooo comprehensive. I am gonna add a few to my own list. Btw, I have to agree on #8 on diet sodas. Aspartame is still sooo unsafe, wonder why was it even approved in the first place?

And you sure both pics are yours? If so, that's a real motivator for those looking to lose weight. Good job there! It's all about hard work!

Re: Effective Stop Smoking Aids

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:36:24 -0000

I dun think nicotine replacement therapy is a good way to stop smoking. It merely serves as a temporary measure to stop smoking. What we need is a long-term education and treatment. Having say that, nicotine replacement products can help relieve those nasty symptoms.

Re: To Motivate, Get Attention

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:53:33 -0000

Although this picture looks 'threatening', it doesn't really scare people off. It looked freaky at first, but I thought it looked more creative than serves its purpose. Maybe something more nasty-looking will make smokers think twice.

Re: The Amazing Couch Potato Weight Loss Plan

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:26:47 -0000

hey Andrew, at least you are losing some weight and I hope you have kept them off since the date of your blog post. so is your back problem ok now?

Re: Soul Food: An unexpected weight loss tip

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:02:54 -0000

I am not sure where I have heard it before. The point eating in reverse. The problem with most diets is that we are overloaded with food for dinner. I guess this is just one of the ways to entertain guests during dinner. I mean, who would have guests early in the morning? This method will take some time to get used to. Then again, we don't have guests visiting all the time.

Re: The Zenster: The Leo Babauta Interview

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:58:43 -0000

hey Danielle, that was really inspirational. I hope your quit smoking plan is going well. And ya you are right. It takes one effort to bring forth another one. Few people made it big in life because they dare not take the first step. And it is through the baby steps that people start to fly.

Thanks for recommending Zenhabits. All the best!

Re: Irksome Ads: Tax Season

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:19:29 -0000

I believe people will do anything just to try something that promises hope. Most of the time, we don't buy the products, we buy the hope. So its kinda funny how we deceive ourselves sometimes.

Re: 7 Simple Tips to Boost Your Health

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:42:40 -0000

i agree with the first 6 points but I don't see how relaxation can really help. Maybe affirmation of your goals would be a better point?

Re: Diary of a Detox - Prologue

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:31:39 -0000

To be honest, to be not eating for 3 days sounds insane to me. At least I can't. So did it actually work for you?

Re: Diary of a Detox - Prologue

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:34:04 -0000

Yea, I guess it was a little on the 'bad side'. But I guess I'm glad it did work for you.

Re: NYT Creates ‘Fat Pack’ Phenomenon

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:36:51 -0000

Let's just stay healthy with healthy food and regular exercise. There's nothing really great about being fat, is it? We should love ourselves more keeping ourselves healthy.

Re: Wendi Dee’s Raw Food Weight Loss Transformation Video

George Yeo — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:40:22 -0000

hi Wendi, that was a motivational video! I am glad there are people like you who have decided to take things in their own hands and love themselves more by losing weight. Honestly, was that your sister in the later part of the video? Or did you photoshop or something? Just kidding!

Re: How to kick any habit

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:12:18 -0000

hey Andrew,

thanks for this post. I realise that quitting smoking is all about breaking a cycle that you are used to. Making small changes in your life like doing something different each day helps you to break away from daily routines, which includes smoking.

It helps if you can delay the timings between each puff. I woke up one day forgetting to smoke the whole day, and the rest is history.

Re: Would You Like Some Butter With That Roll?!!

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:41:23 -0000

The problem with most famous weight loss programs is that they are not tailored for everyone. Even the program for specific blood groups (winks) did not produce the desired results for some people.

Talking about artifical sugars (aspartame), my, they are deadly! I think there is a real need to be able to read what we are eating!

Then again, it all boils down to self-discipline. People quit smoking, because they feel there is a need to. Same goes for weight loss.

Re: Weight Loss Challenges

George Yeo — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:13:12 -0000

So 2009 is coming! How's the challenge so far?

Re: Weight Loss Challenges

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:59:54 -0000

Hey Andrew, havent really got time to check out ur site till now. So, how was your Greece trip? Bet it was cool! Saw sine of the pics that my fren took and that place was awesome! And btw, were you affected by the recent rioting?

Re: 280 - 210 - 240

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:52:13 -0000

Hey Adam, how's your current progress? It's been like a year since this post was made. I hope you are making great progress though! You can do it!!

Re: No-Carb Diets May Impair Memory

George Yeo — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:23:31 -0000

I do agree that losing weight is all about striking a right balance. But I am not sure if the study was comprehensive enough because it involved only a small group of 19 women.

Re: Tips for Reducing Anxiety, Stress and Depression in Your Life

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:17:04 -0000

Thanks for this post. It was quite informative but it would be better if you can include some negative effects of anxiety attacks. This will give people more reasons to deal with panic attacks.This is a major problem for some people, dealing with something deep inside that they cannot see.

Re: Raising the Smoking Age Won’t Curb Teen Smoking

George Yeo — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:36:12 -0000

I guess kids by nature are curious and 'rebellious'. The more you don't want them to do something, the more they want to prove that they can (or will). And one year is not gonna make a huge difference. It cant be something like, "hey, I'm underage now. I shall only smoke next year!"
