The Danger of Losing Weight

Have you read about the story of the
chubby Malaysia guy who wanted to lose weight
so desperately that he resorted to using the
so-called needleless injection method ?

This magical weightloss method originated
from Taiwan, whereby many overweight folks over
there claimed to have reduced their weight after
trying out this new method.

What is illogical is --- how can an injection
be done without any needle ?

Akin to the liposuction method, the idea is to
inject a certain type of liquid that will burn
off the cellulite.

So after much persuasion from his obese wife to
go to the slimming centre, the victimized guy had
the procedure done.

Altogether, he did 30 needleless injections costing
about US$25,000 ....

The inevitable happened several days later .....
he felt itchiness at the 30 over spots, and there
were red patches appearing .... followed later by
the growth of infected pus ....

It was a horrible sight to look at --- there were
30 ugly holes around his buldging tummy, with each
hole the size of between 1 to 3 cm.

Of course the slimming and beauty centre disclaimed
responsibility, and the matter may well end up in
court.

If you want to lose weight in Malaysia....
it is important that you understand the danger
that you can possibly end up with !!

Lose weight issues in Malaysia

It is hard to lose weight in Malaysia !

....says the headline in a local paper ...

So why is it so difficult to lose weight in
Malaysia ?

Just look at the facts :

The Health Ministry estimates that 1.7 Million
Malaysians above the age of 18 are obese. And
last year alone, the World Health Organization
ranked Malaysia as the 6th most obese nation in
Asia.

Just look around you ... and you can see so many
fat and overweight men and women in Kuala Lumpur,
Petaling jaya, Klang, Penang, Ipoh, Melaka, Johor
and Sabah.... including fat children and obese
teenagers too.

The crux of the losing-weight issue is that
the local diet and lifestyles encourages the
doubling and tripling of the body mass index
( BMI ).

Breakfast is centred around high-carbohydates
food like Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Mee Goreng,
Char Koay Teow.

Lunch means eating Rojak, Nasi Kandar, Nasi Ayam,
Wantan Mee, followed by more high-carbo and fatty
foods for dinner and supper.

As for lifestyles, it is just a couch-potato
life .... propping infront of the computer and
TV and playstation ... without doing any form of
exercise to curb the increase of weight.

Considering these, how can Malaysians be expected
to lose weight and slim down ?
