Garcina Cambogia | Fitness Monday

Hey gorgeous, today is fitness Monday, without rambling, let's get to the point cause I know you guys are hyped over this product. 

I believe you had already known a lot of tweets or advertisement already rave about garcina cambogia which is a plant extract that aids in weight loss, they've used a lot of famous singers as their advertising model like Christina Aguilera etc.  

I know people don't usually believe advertisement, so do I, but I really interested in this product because it's a 100% natural weight loss formula
Girls, you know yourself, get slim without any sweating is like our most impossible dream ever. Hence, I do give this a try by doing research and headed to a well-known brand - GNC.

Here is where you can check them out and look through their website for more products.


This is an American drug selling store which is quite famous in Asia because it has a lot of branches basically in each and every shopping malls.

I did quite some researches by reading comments and explanations from different doctors as well as health gurus. Then, I think it's worth for a try and I found out that GNC is selling this natural remedy which is not quite cheap I would say. It kind of gives me the trustworthy feeling because I don't believe in cheap drugs when it comes to health.


 I would make my review in few categories, as it makes them easier to read.

Packaging 
 It's like a normal drug like a huge tablet which is 2 centimeters in length, 1 capsule is 500mg of Garcina Cambogia. The extract is stored in a transparent casing tube where you can still see the products which is cream-yellowish colored. If you break it up and you can see the Garcina Cambogia extract in a powder form. It has 90 capsules per bottle.

Price 
As I've mentioned earlier, this isn't quite cheap. When I went for this, it was out of stock in every shopping malls near me and I had to leave my number there for booking and eventually it came around 2-3weeks later. As soon as they shelfed this and this went off like crazy. I bought the last 2 bottles that were left there cause they were having sale at 30% on the 2nd product.

For a bottle is MYR 79.90 (USD $24.90) and what I've paid it's only MYR 135.85 (USD $ 41.65). If you want further information or you've decided to give it a go, you can check it out HERE.

Performance
 You'll need to take it in 1 hour before having breakfast hence it'll absorb into our body throughout the day as it only can be taken in once a day(advisible).From what I've read, normal adult can take in 1500mg (3 capsules) per day. It contains high HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid) which helps in digestion. It aids in weight loss and acts as an appetite suppressant and fat metabolism as they claimed. 

For a month user like me, it doesn't react like what they've claimed or raved about. It does help me detox, anti-constipation and feel more awake as well as healthier. It does help my body feels lighter even if I've taken in carbs like rice, breads and biscuits. I do not know whether it's me started working out as well as taking in these or it's the effect of garcina, my weight has gone down by 4-5 kilograms in a month.

Pros 
Body feels lighter (weight has decreased of course), feels healthier, anti-constipation and appetite suppressant as I don't take in sides or snacks between meals. A bonus for this, it does not have side effects after taking in for a month and my body does not back to the beginning stage as my body weight is maintained while I'm not taking that. 

Cons 
 Once the tube casing has broken, it has a super strong taste, I guess it's just the taste of garcina extract. The tablet is too big to swallow. 

Will I repurchase?
I'm not sure whether there's any further aids to my body if my body get used to this so I'm taking a month break and take in another bottle for a month later to see the further effects so stay tuned. =D

Overall Score : 9.0/10.0 

 A short review of this product since Twitter's advertiser is raving about this product these days, I hope you'll like it.
Good Luck and Run Extra Miles

Banana Pancake | Clean Food

Hey there everyone, Mondays are no more BLUE when pancakes are there for you and most IMPORTANTLY they're clean which is good for health and it's the easiest pancake ever with only 2 ingredients needed .
 ________________________________________________________________________

Banana Pancake & Whey Protein Chocolate Shake 


Ingredients

Banana Pancake
1 large Banana
2 Eggs
PAM (or you can use any low calories oil)
Maple Syrup (optional - unhealthy) 

Whey Protein Chocolate Shake
2 tablespoons of Whey Protein Powder (Chocolate)
1.5 cup of Skimmed Milk (you can use Almond Milk instead)
 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
9 -10 Ice-Cubes

Steps
First, slice the banana into small pieces and place them into a bowl so that it's easier to mash and mix with the eggs. Followed by cracking 2 eggs into the same bowl. 


Now, you may use a whisker or a spoon to mash and combine them together until a thick paste is achieved. 


 It doesn't matter if there's still bananas in there because it will have a better smell with the bananas. While whisking, heat up your pan in low heat. When it has been heated up, spray in some PAM and start scooping the batter onto the pan.


 Ta-daaaaaa, the delicious and yummy banana pancakes are achieved. For more taste or a little cheaty, place 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup on them.


With this recipe, I'm able to make 18-20 small pancakes. I like to make small pancakes as a tiny snake because they need not to be cut and who has ever tried 1 bite pancake? =D

This recipe is inspired by Blogilates (Cassey Ho) who is a fitness blogger and Youtuber that teaches us great workout and clean food recipes. 


Here's a picture of her with her banana pancakes using the same recipe.

Tips : You may top up your favorite fruits to fulfill your taste buds or peanut butter.
 ________________________________________________________________________

For whey protein chocolate shake, you just need a smoothie blender, place all the ingredients into the bottle and blend it up. 

This completes a gorgeous breakfast to start off the day. This is a great pre or post workout meals because they're high in protein and low in carbs. 

At LAST, take a great picture of them and post it on Instagram or Twitter and tag me @cereslys


❤ Good Luck and Love Lots

Fitness Monday

Hey, how y'all doing? 
For those who are trying to keep fit, like me, you'll always tend to have this in mind, there goes "Okay, I'll leave that to Monday"and "I'll start on Monday".

Here it is, it's Monday. Let's get STARTED. Fitness gurus always say to get healthy, 80% is depends on what you eat and it's only 20% depends on what your eat.

Hence, by starting your fitness journey, I would like to share some information about healthy food, e.g : vegetables and fruits. People tend to get bored when it's just fruits and vegetables everyday, let's put it this way, we get to colour our bowl with healthy stuff in it, so why not?
 ________________________________________________________________________

Let's get started in the morning, NEVER ever skip your breakfast because it's extremely important to start off your day and your body takes the most nutrients from.

I'm no way to be a guru or any experts but this is what I've made for myself in the morning.


Ingredients Used
Green Grapes
 Blueberries
Yogurt (Nestle Fat-Free Yogurt) / Greek Yogurt (Nestle Greek Yogurt)

The links above are the brands that I was and still am using. I couldn't give the exact amount of each products should be used because different people have different preference.

For me, I would prefer more grapes and French vanilla granola, as you can see in the picture, I've put quite a big amount of them.

They are finger-licking good, I wouldn't mind eating them everyday. Hmm...Yum yum.
 ________________________________________________________________________

People usually get food cravings easily. Sometimes you aren't hungry but you just want the "chewing" feelings, as they always go for bubble gums or chewing gums.

Gums contain high level of sugars which is bad for health so I have an alternative choice of food that I can reach for anytime, anywhere.


Tadaaaa, wax apple or rose apple (I think this is what it is called as), it is full of juices and the sugar level is low. Diabetic patients can consume this too.

I usually buy a bunch of them during their seasons. Their water level is higher than usual apples which is a good thing and it can help in prevent cancerous cells.
 ________________________________________________________________________

Last but not least, fruits before dinner are always the best. This portion I've made is extremely large, so you can share with your family because sharing is caring, and this is HEALTH, why not? 


Fruits Used 
Banana
Honeydew 
Papaya 

Portion wise, you can put as many as you want, depends on your preference and family members. I've always been loving honeydews especially the reddish-orangey honeydew. The other fruits (banana and papayas) are my favorite too but BANANA is always in my top one.

Everything on this plate is my favorite fruits of all time. You can always have skimmed milk or almond milk along with these fruits.
 ________________________________________________________________________

I've always been spotting fruit products like drinks, nata de coco and food. I love banana but I've never tried banana milk or any banana drink products because I think it's gross with the rough and creamy texture it has.

Recently, I've found these products with I think it's cute but I still haven't tried any of these.


Look at the packaging, it's so CUTE but I dare not to try, maybe we could buy it for dares game.


This is alternative banana milk drinks. This is from Korea, I wonder wouldn't it be brown-black when it has delivered to my country? Lols.

Do tell me the taste and the texture of these banana drinks if you've tried it. The price is quite reasonable, the price is almost same as some milk in my country.
________________________________________________________________________

Here is a list of fruits sugar level content guide, people think that fruits are healthy and tend to overeat them. These are some recommended low or low-medium sugar level fruits.


Fruits that have high sugar level : Bananas, Grapes, Pomegranates, Cherries and etc.

Let's get started off the week with a great Monday. 
A kind reminder : Do exercise 30minutes each time and 3 times per week.
