In case you never read my previous post on this, my diet includes Wholemeal Toasts for breakfast. I can eat this with Diabetic Jam and Eggs (as long as I keep a quota of 1 yolk per day). Lunch is boring plain rice with fish or chicken and veggies minus any curry or fattening gravy. Dinner can be chicken, fish or veggies with no Carbohydrates. That means no Rice. And this will be my daily diet for the next three months.
Now this is a bummer. If you've read this blog long enough, you'll realise that I love eating. So much so that Mae swears that I eat like some godless heathen. Now, however, my meals will be reduced to safe, healthy and bland stuff. The only tasteful thing about my diet is probably the Jam. But since I HATE jam, there really isn't much to look forward to.
But all is not lost. As much as I like to eat, I also like to cook. So, off and on, I'll be documenting my low-fat cooking experiments right here. Since I'm neither a professional chef, dietician nor a nutritionist, whether my recipes are actually safe for consumption is anybody's guess. Hehheh. But blog them, I shall. I promise, however, to use "safe" ingredients.
So there. I'm excited. Tell me you are too. :)
hehehe...years ago when the dr. annouced my cholestrol level very very high that time, my diet was porridge and vege for months :P. later cholestrol level drop, weight also drop, then...EAT AGAIN! yo-yo diet liao.
ReplyDeletehey, that's great, james. if we get to read your 'low fat' recipes here, we too can try it out and try to slim down in the process. :)
ReplyDeletebut unfortunately i don't cook.
you had better lay off char koay teow completly! bet you can't eh! after your 3 months over, it'll be back to char koay teow.
i luv char koay teow too. just last week, after church service, i together with the priest and a few friends went for some makan, and a friend made a remark that i love char koay teow to the priest, and the priest said "char koay teow is no good! very fattening! all the oil and frying makes you fat and round. that's why she (pointing to me) is so roundish." all my friends laughed at me!! so there! now you know i'm roundish! :)
Heh, I'd love to go Diet this Diet that if I could. Diet Coke? Diet Jam? Too bad the artificial sugar, like Splenda and stuff, makes me sick. I get a lot of phlegm and get sore throat after eating anything labelled "Diet". Unfortunate, or not? To me not really LOL I have an excuse not to take Diet shitz.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should "Reward" yourself with CKT at the end of every successful week of sticking to your health plan. ^^ Good luck!
hey james ^^ do u mind linking to me? i will link to you as well =)
ReplyDeleteTwinsmom: Strangely enough, despite my weight problem, my cholesterol was never a problem.
ReplyDeleteDon't cook nevermind, Lucia. My recipes are easy to prepare. Since I'm dieting, I also malas to go thru too much trouble preparing food.
Yay to rewards, Gwen. You're such a lovely person for suggesting that. :lol:
You make that sound so... erm... naughty, Kahsoon. Hahhaha!
yes, i agree with Gwen.. give yourself a reward whenever you reach the goal you've set. if you like nasik lemak, then eat it once a week. if you like ice-cream, chocolates.. etc etc.. hehehe. (evil mood in me forced me to list those)
ReplyDeleteJames, how to get in touch with the gym.. looking forward to starting gym. wanna gauge the distance so I can decide to cycle there or not to cycle there. *grin*
ReplyDeleteHeh. I had ice cream today, Hazel! :)
ReplyDeletePaulos: You can call Wak Ali at No Limit Gym. 03-7725 4649 or 012-277 8197. Don't cycle here, dude. The hardcore slave-driver will push you so hard you won't be able to cycle home. Hahhahah!
But blog them, I shall. I promise, however, to use "safe" ingredients.
ReplyDeletemay the gods be kind to your digestive tract ;P

ReplyDeleteSo! how about making some safe, low-fat CKT.

ReplyDeleteSo far so good, Gina. Though I cheat a little. :lol:
*sniff* I tried, Mumsgather. But I dun think it'll work out.
Feh. We're talking about eating like normal people, AhPink. :P
Ditto, BabeKL!
Diabetic jam? Sugar-free? Low in sugar? Un-real sugar? Toasts for breakfast and I'll not survive my morning. Eeek!
ReplyDeleteon a health quest huh? good for u! i used to love fatty, oily, cheesy food AND I had a sweet tooth..and then I embraced healthy eating and healthy living and the no. 1 rule to that was no carbs! i thought i'd die, but I'm much healthier and more energetic now! ....protein n veggies can be eaten really creatively, as I'm learning.. u'll survive..don't worry..it's not that bad... :-)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't too difficult, Primrose. And this is coming from a self-confessed glutton!
ReplyDeleteI need a cheese substitute badly, Marina!!!! :lol:
