So in August, I had travelled to London, Phnom Penh and Taipei. For a mix of pleasure, and connecting with people. Gotta thank my lucky stars for meeting a group of like minded people. It was absolutely lovely…
Speaking of which, I actually bought a suitcase load of Chun Cui milk tea frm Taipei the day b4 the news of the recall from AVA lol. So if anyone wants some freshly airflown Chun Cui milk tea, feelfree to pm me. Fastest fingers first, but purely at your own risk lol. =)
So today, I will discuss the key to achieving the hourglass figure.
Ultimate hourglass figure.
Indication for weight management programme
• WHO classification
• BMI > 25
• Note in Asians, we can start earlier. Pls consult your doctor on this.
First, one must understand our own body shape.
Next, a good diet. So which diet is best? — Studies have compared different diets, including:
- • Very-low-carbohydrate (Atkins™)
- • Reduced-calorie (Weight Watchers®)
- • Mediterranean Diet ( Olive oil, little red meat)
I think its impt to enjoy what u eat! We are so blessed to be in Singapore, a food paradise.
Golden Principle is this.

High intensity crossfit is what I recommend. And that means Tabata. Incidentally I do this daily.
TABATA –

• Run- Sprint. Jog x 8 cycles x 3 sets

Here is a video on fat freezing.
3 SPECIAL
A. Medication:
• Orlistat — Orlistat (Xenical® 120 mg capsules) Fat blocker. FDA approved for long term use.
• Phentamine – It works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affecting certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite. FDA approved for short term use 3 mths. Note side effects. Xerostomia, rapid heartrate, insomnia.
B. Fat freezing
To remove unwanted fat non surgically, zero downtime, through freezing. Common side effects include skin redness, bruising and muscle aches.
Here’s how it works.
C. Personally, I do not recommend liposuction.
Indications for fat freezing.
- Abdomen
- Inner Thighs
- Double Chin
- Flanks
- Outer thighs
