Puasa time is the time where people cut down on food (though some of us really "balas dendam" when break-fast :p) and lose weight and stay slim and trim. But once Hari Raya comes along, everything goes out the window! Don't let your effort goes to waste. Here are some pointers on how not to "over-indulge", or "over-eat" during Raya time especially during open houses.

Tip# 1 Eat First. Never ever go to an open house with an empty stomach

Tip# 2 Use Small Plate. The smaller the plate, the less food you can take!

Tip# 3 Choose Wisely. You don't have to cut out all your favourite "kuihs" and "ketupat", just take smaller portions! (With Tip# 2 Bearing in mind of course ;))

Tip# 4 Chew Slowly. Don't rush, savour the flavour and pause between bites

Tip# 5 Keep Moving! Remember to exercise during this festive season!
