Weight management Myths

"I eat very little, and I am always hungry, but I still gain weight. I feel like I will gain weight even if I eat only air."

Have you heard of this?

Yes, Some people feel like they gain weight no matter what—even when they eat very little. They’re always hungry, frustrated, and wondering what’s going on.

It’s not just about how much food you eat—it’s about how many calories are in that food. Still back to the law of thermodynamics

Some foods are small in size but packed with calories—like chocolate bars. Others, like spinach, take up a lot of space but have very few calories.

So even if you eat a little of such high calorie food, you might still be getting more calories than your body burns.

To lose weight, focus on foods that are low in calorie density but still fill you up—like fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

Here’s the guide for daily calorie intake:

For normal female , to maintain our weight, daily calories intake should be kept at around 1800 calories , and male is 2200 calories, anything more than that, the person is putting on weight, anything less than that daily, start to lose weight.

Lets look at some example of foods , with high calories .

Here's the reference of CALORIE TABLE 

Mooncake 975 calories. Meat dumpling 770 calories 

Milkshake 1600 calories (already close to 1 day calorie intake for female). Frappucino 410 calories 

Food with low calories, Less oily, like skinless chicken only 120 calories. Fruits and vegetables generally low in calories .

Here's a list of number of calories burnt during 1 hour exercise

Exercising is important — but let’s look at it from the perspective of burning calories.

For example, 1 hour of jogging burns around 350 calories, and 1 hour of yoga burns about 200 calories.

Now compare that to a single serving of French fries, which can easily contain 510 calories or more!

So if your goal is weight control, sometimes it’s actually easier to skip the fries than to spend an hour exercising to burn them off.

That doesn’t mean exercise isn’t important — it’s vital for circulation, muscle tone, mood, and long-term health.
But when it comes to managing weight, what we eat plays a far bigger role than what we burn.”

So after understanding the real truth of many of myths behind about losing weight, how to achieve a real, sustainable weight loss?

It is about understanding how your body works — and these three areas are key:

⚖️ 1. Calorie Management

🔥 2. Higher Metabolic Rate

🌿 3. Healthy Gut

.lets look into each of these 

Take this example:

For a 30-year-old woman with a mostly sedentary lifestyle, the body needs about 1,800 calories a day just to maintain her current weight.

So what happens when this balance shifts?

• If she consistently eats more than 1,800 calories, her body stores the extra as fat — leading to weight gain.
• If she eats less than 1,800 calories, her body starts to burn stored fat for energy — leading to weight loss.

Sounds simple, right? But here’s the catch — not all calories are created equal.

A 500-calorie burger and 500 calories of vegetables or whole grains behave very differently inside the body.

One clogs and inflames; the other nourishes and supports metabolism.

So calorie management isn’t just about eating less — it’s about eating right.

Choosing nutrient-rich foods helps your body feel full, balance hormones, and maintain steady energy levels — which makes weight loss sustainable, not stressful.

Weight loss besides than calorie counting, its also about burning more.

And what helps you burn more, even when you’re not exercising?
👉 Your muscles.

Nourish your bones and joints with wholesome plant foods

For women past 40, health issues like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and muscle weakness often become a growing concern.

Many people turn to common approaches such as:

1. Drinking cow’s milk
2. Taking calcium pills
3. Taking glucosamine supplements
4. Consuming cartilage dishes or collagen drinks

However, these are not ideal nor truly healthy solutions for long-term bone and muscle care. In fact, they may bring hidden harm:

• Cow’s milk – can actually cause calcium to leach from the bones and increase osteoporosis risk. It also contributes to chronic inflammation.
• Calcium pills – may raise the risk of heart disease, kidney stones, and colon polyps.
• Glucosamine pills – could increase insulin resistance and heighten diabetes risk.
• Collagen drinks/cartilage dishes – animal collagen or cartilage cannot directly replace or rebuild human collagen or cartilage.

That’s why it’s important for women to re-think bone and muscle health beyond these conventional methods — and explore safer, more effective approaches that truly support long-term strength and mobility.

In fact, mother nature already provides the essential nutrients needed to protect and strengthen our bones and muscles — through wholesome plant foods.

Here are some:

Wholesome Soy – naturally rich in protein and calcium, helping to strengthen both muscles and bones. 
Look at the below chart, in fact, soybean has more calcium compared to cows milk. 

Plant foods rich in glutamine – such as brown algae, alfalfa, ginger, spinach, parsley, acerola cherry, and cactus. Glutamine helps stimulate the body’s own production of glucosamine, which is then converted into glycosaminoglycans — the key building blocks of cartilage.

Black Goji Berries – packed with anthocyanins, which not only promote bone health but also support bone formation and help prevent osteoporosis.

To make these powerful plant foods easily accessible in daily life, NI Foods offers great convenience with:

• SOYPRO – made from wholesome soy and Jilin ginseng.
• GojiGarden Series – combining black goji berries with rose/ yuzu/ osmanthus.
• GojiGarden Coffee – a unique blend of premium coffee beans with black goji berries.
• G-ART - made of brown algae, alfalfa, ginger, spinach, parsley, acerola cherry, and cactus.

With the right nourishment from nature, women can safeguard their bones and muscles while staying healthy, strong, and active well beyond 40.

Rethinking Breakfast

🥣 Rethinking Breakfast: From Processed to Powerful

Breakfast is often hailed as the most important meal of the day—but what are we really feeding our bodies each morning?

Too often, our breakfast tables are dominated by:

1. 🧁 Ultra-processed foods: bread, cakes, muffins, protein bars
2. 🥓 Processed meats: ham, bacon
3. 🥚 Animal-based proteins: eggs, cow’s milk, whey shakes
4. 🧪 Synthetic powders: soy isolate protein
5. 🧃 Fruit juices: stripped of fiber, spiking blood sugar

These choices may be convenient, but they come at a cost—low fiber, high saturated fat, and minimal micronutrient diversity. Over time, they can contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic fatigue.

🌱 Introducing the Excellence Breakfast

To break free from this cycle, I’ve crafted a breakfast solution that nourishes deeply and energizes sustainably. I call it the Excellence Breakfast, powered by three plant-based champions:

🟢 Soypro

Ingredients: WholesomeSoy, Jilin Ginseng

A clean, wholesome soy protein blend—rich in complete amino acids without the synthetic isolates.

🟠 Fibertalk

A fiber-rich mix that supports gut health, satiety, and blood sugar balance.

🔴 GojiGarden

A vibrant infusion of blackgoji berries and other antioxidant-packed superfoods to fight oxidative stress and boost immunity.

💪 Why It Works

The Excellence Breakfast is built on three pillars of nutritional excellence:

1. 🌿 Wholesome Plant Protein Derived from whole soybeans—not isolates—providing complete protein with added phytonutrients.
2. 🌾 Fiber for Gut and Glucose Supports digestion, regulates appetite, and helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
3. 🍒 Phytochemicals and Antioxidants From berries, seeds, and botanicals—these compounds protect cells, reduce inflammation, and promote longevity.

✨ A Morning Ritual That Honors Your Body

This isn’t just a breakfast—it’s a commitment to vitality. With Soypro, Fibertalk, and GojiGarden, you’re choosing nourishment over convenience, and excellence over excess.

Let’s make breakfast a celebration of health, not a compromise.

How do you see work?

In the past, my understanding of work was very narrow:
being tied down for 9 hours a day,
not daring to take leave casually,
as if life was meant to revolve only around work.

It was only through learning and growing with NI SYNERGY that I gradually realized—
work should not be a shackle,but a bridge that leads to a better life.

True effort is not about making yourself busier,
but about gaining the ability to spend time with family,
the courage to pursue your dreams,
and the freedom to enjoy the beauty of life.

I have come to understand more clearly,
that the value of life is not in “living just to work,”
but in “using work as a way to create the life you truly desire.”

I am grateful for eLEAD Global,for giving me the choice to:
work while taking care of my family,
strive while enjoying life,
grow while exploring the world—
and most importantly, bring my children along to experience a greater world,
where they can learn and grow through the journey,
and where our family memories become more precious than material things.

Because life has never been defined by work,
but by how we choose to live it. 🌟

Pros and Cons of Protein Powders in the market

Protein powders commonly use casein, whey, or soy isolate protein. 

But there are also other protein powders, such as hydrolyzed protein and wholesome soy protein. 

Casein 

Protein Casein constitutes about 80% of the protein in milk. It is not the best choice of protein as a supplement. 

Casein protein tends to coagulate in the stomach and can be difficult to digest. 

Whey Protein 

Whey is a byproduct of the cheese-making process. It makes up about 20% of the protein in milk. 

More and more research has shown that milk products could be detrimental to health. 

One study showed that in both men and women, the amount of milk they consumed was also associated with higher levels of a biological stress marker—oxidative stress—which has been associated with aging, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. 

Soy Isolate Protein 

Soy isolate is commonly a powdered food product that has been isolated from the other components of soy through chemical and biological processes. This is not ideal, as it is missing all of the beneficial components of soy. 

Hydrolyzed Protein 

Hydrolyzed protein is protein that is broken down through a chemical process. It contains only the component amino acids and no other nutrients. There is not enough proof to show that hydrolyzed protein can build muscles faster than other wholesome sources of protein. 

Wholesome Soy Protein 

This protein powder is made from soy with minimal processing. Wholesome soy contains not only protein, but also phytochemicals and antioxidants. These nutrients are good for your health and your immune system

LET'S BE A WISE CONSUMER. 

Choose a Healthier source of Protein --> WHOLESOME SOY, as you're going to take it on daily basis. 

Do not load your body with unhealthy protein source which may compromise your health in the long run. 

This is also the reason why do I choose Soypro : made of Wholesome Soy and Jilin Ginseng as compared to other protein powder choice in the market.
