Track Your Diet - Singapore Style

Check out the Diet Tracker, a useful tool that helps you keep track of your calorie and fat intake through your mobile phone!
The beautiful thing is that almost everyone (I say almost as I know of some who do not want one!) has a mobile phone and we carry them with us like, 99% of the time so it is only wise of HPB to create this software for the mobile phone! Kudos to them for this wonderful idea. From a non-profit organisation no less!
Its database is based on our local foods by the Health Promotion Board (HPB)

Simply go to the HPB website and submit your details and you can either download to your PC and then transfer to your mobile or directly download it via GPRS.




I tried it and itz awesome! It creates a personal profile for you and your energy and fat requirements are calculated individually to you.
You can then proceed on to add what you ate for the day from the database of local food delights.

How NOT to Lose Weight (aka Slimderella)

Hey peeps

Chk out this blog entry featuring a local dietitian (amongst others). The author was commenting how it is much cheaper (safer and healthier) to go visit your local, friendly neighbourhood, (no lah not Spider-man) dietitian rather than Miss (Jean) Yip, (Mary) Chia or (Jenny) Craig.

On that note, check out this really hilarious comic strip on the local beauty (slimming) industry.

And also check out Today newspaper (Tues 19th June 2007) issue and July's Women's Weekly. my frenz and colleagues Charles and Vanitha are featured! Yours truly is in June's Men's Health p. 92, 93 *shameless plug* =)
