Welcome July, goodbye the kilos..

Sometime in June, I by accident watched an Oprah episode with Dr. Mehmet Oz.

In that episode, Dr. Oz was discussing healthy living and gave everyone a simple assignment:

For two weeks, do not consume any soda or carbonated/canned drinks and then see the difference in your weight.

It was said that you'll lose 2 - 4 kgs of excess weight by just doing this.

So, here I am, an 89 - 90kg bloke, and on occasions, even touching 90.5kgs. (My ideal weight for my height is 81kgs), so I thought, hey, if this can rid of a kilo or two, why not.

So, for 3 weeks, not a drop of soda or carbonated drinks.

And wallah! I lost 2kgs. Nothing else changed. Only that I do not drink carbonated drinks as I used to (BTW - I enjoy very much an almost frozen can of Coke or Vanilla Coke!).

Yes, some withdrawals were felt, especially, after a lunch of spicy curry, a can of Coke just like bleaches it away, if you know what I mean?

So, it's been a whole month now, and my weight is playing around 88 - 89, on occasions even 87kgs.

So, now, I am in the process of eliminating added sugars in my diet to shake off another reluctant kilo or two.

My aim is to reach 86kgs this way.

Then I will take care of the remaining extras with more enhancements to my lifestyle, and yes, a morning walk at least 3 - 4 times a week is in the cards.

Good or good?!

But I still miss my can of Coke!
