Weight will never be an issue for a girl as skinny as I. That is what others thought of me. But, like the majority of the crowd who attended the new Del Monte Fit ‘n Right launch last November at One Rockwell, I just don’t seem too happy with my figure. Good thing, I have met health and fashion experts to ask if what I’m feeling was normal.
🙂
As I went in the function room, Nicole warmly approached me and led me to 3 different booths: fitness, food and fashion. First, I had my weight, fat mass and body fat percentage measured. Then, I proceeded to the next booth were Rajo Laurel’s team took my figure measurement.

Sexy Chef Barni Alejandro
The last booth I went to was Sexy Chef’s. I told her that even if I ate a lot I still get my average weight. And, I’m not quite happy about it.
She told me that I must be happy because not all people can eat a lot and have their metabolism fast, like I’ve got.
“Frequent eating makes our metabolism fast.â€, she added.
She actually recommended some of the food I need to include in my meals, like brown rice, which contains plenty of health benefits. She also mentioned that our age also has something to do with our metabolism. The older we get, the more our metabolism slows down. I wanted to chat with her more but lunch was ready, prepared by hers truly.

After all the tummies were filled with delectable food, the program started. The basic formula to fight fat was revealed by the experts. And the Science of Sexy Challenge was introduced.
(FAT= Calories consumed – Calories burned) / (Basic formula to fight fat)
To explain, fat accumulation is determined by the calorie content of the food you eat vs. the calories you burn through regular exercise. So, to lose weight and reduce fat mass, we need to increase physical activity to burn more fat, and/or eat fewer calories.
New Del Monmte Fit 'n Right
The recommended rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. This means working in at least 30 minutes of daily aerobic activity in our daily routine. Plus, daily rice intake by 1 cup (1/2 at lunch and another half at dinner).
Simple? Of course not without discipline, self-control and a help buddy, the discussion recommended the new and improved Del Monte Fit ‘n Right.
Fit ‘n Right now has the combination of L-Carnitine plus new GCE (Green Coffee Extract), a natural ingredient taken from unroasted green coffee beans. But don’t worry the taste was proven to be more of a fruit juice than a coffee.
The panel shared that GCE’s role is to block our body’s absorption of sugar. The less sugar our body absorbs, the less excess calories that can turn into fat. A clinical study shows that with daily consumption of GCE, there is significant reduction in fat vs. L-Carnitine alone vs. diet and exercise alone. Check out trial results below.
Trial Results
To be more realistic, 2 from the group of challengers were invited in the event.
