Hey Raghu,
I will check out for the chinese dieting tea.
My friend says that there is a channel called "Aastha" in which somebody teaches yoga aimed at reducing weight and he says that the results are amazing. Anyone here who can confirm that

Hello Jaiganesh,
I would stick to sensible diet and reg exercice if I were u.

Chinese slimming tea??
Raghu, r u sure it is completely safe? No offence intended, just want to know.

JG, I think tomato is right.

All those medicinal herbs and preparations for slimming have very bad and extreme side effects. I advise you not to go for them.
Just avoid fat and sweat out, you will get to shape.

Hi,

I took their (Chinese Doctors) word for granted, and did wonders for me, all it does let you excrete your waste at least 2-3 a day, it reduces your cholestrol, and I did loose 4 stonnes in about 2 months, with a combination of Cardio exercises & this tea!

have a look at this site

Does any one if you loose lean muscle mass, if you do extensive Cardio 5 days a week, say you burn 500 calories a day?

Raghu,
It depends on total calorie intake, your protein intake, your fat percentage in the body.
Normally athletes fat percentage is quite low. An intense aerobic exercises, or games like foot ball, basket ball concentrated on shorter intervals tend to burnout muscle mass.
I do long distance running seven days a week. I have very lean muscles. But I am not losing weight. I think it has balanced out.

Do you really jog 7 days a week, or just pretend by jogging behind the ladukees in the park

there is a saying 'Perusuhalai nambakoodathenu'

by the way, if you burn 500 cal a day, that is fine according to fitness freaks, anything beyond that you may be loosing muscle mass or even bone mass

Ofcourse I do!! It has become a habit. If don't run I feel lethargic the whole day. And it is wonderful for the eye sight too, as early morning is the only time you can see young cuties in shorts and t-shirt.!!
Ask Scorpio, she will say I run only becasue of that!

May be you are right. But how to estimate how much I burn?

Shekhar,

You speak truth at times and this is one such rare occasion

BTW, 'Perusuhalai nambakoodathu' means ' Do not trust elderly men'.

Shekar,
If you jog a mile in ten minutes you burn about 600 calories!
