Heart Attack Meals
I have been a very bad eater lately. My meals consist mostly of vein constricting food like fried chicken from KFC and a good ol southern food at Chicken King. Yeah, I’m eating like I’m on a vacation. The worst part is that I haven’t done any physical exertion to burn all those calories.
Today, I ate good except for that bag of prawn chips. Tomorrow will be a different story because it will be my birthday. It’s time for a bit of celebration, baby! That only comes once a year so I might as well eat good, right? 
I’m thinking seafood, lots of it! Too bad we are out of town so we can’t dine on our favorite seafood place in Panama City.:( Despite the lack of exquisite Dolan Designs lighting, the 2nd best seafood in town will do for now.
Something Fishy
tilapia + kamatis = heaven
This is what I had for lunch the other day. In case you don’t recognize it, its fried tilapia. I ate it with steamed rice and roma tomatoes. I squeezed one key lime on the diced tomatoes and added some soysauce.
The reason why I got these key limes is because they look like the calamansi that I know. I figured they probably taste the same but I was wrong. They taste like…key limes..ha! No surprise there. It was a good meal and I think no amount of appetite suppressant can stop me from eating this meal. Me and the entire room smelled like fried fish but its all worth it. I just had to shower and light up the potpourri burner and everything smelled nice again.
Food and Weight Loss
I have had several experience when it comes to dieting for weight loss. Most of it involves starving myself and of course that never works long term. I did a quick research online for food that can serve as natural fat burners. I’m not sure if they are 100% effective but I want to try them out and see if it will work. So, here’s a couple of food that might aid in weight loss:
- Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits or simply fruits rich in vitamin C like grapefruit, tangerines and oranges can help burn fat. Vitamin C helps in oxidation of fat thus helping in weight loss. - Apples and Pears
Both fruits are good sources of fiber. Fiber reduces cholesterol and control fat absorption. Also, apples and pears are quite filling which helps control overeating. - Nuts
This is a good solution for constant hunger pangs. It is considered a better alternative to other snacks like chips and cookies. They are high in fat so portion control is advised. Some nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that helps fight heart disease. - Dark Chocolate
I’m not big in sweets so its easy for me to avoid chocolates in the store. However, it seems that dark chocolate aids in weight loss because of its antioxidant properties.
New Addiction
Thanks to the husband, I have developed a new addiction to pistachio crisps. Pistachios are my most favorite nuts then come pecans and almonds. It all started with an innocent grocery shopping one day. We were so hungry and we needed a bit of snack to keep our grumbling tummies at bay while I prepare dinner. Normally, we just grab cheese sticks but the husband bought pistachio crisps instead. Dang! It was so good, I love it! I have successfully avoided donuts and chocolates in the store, now there’s a new reason to start taking Apidexin. Haha! Oh well, I guess I have to double up on my exercise routine so I can continue enjoying this snack.
Presentation
This was our lunch – pan fried chicken in cream sauce with mashed potato. I know it sounds complicated but its not. I just made up the “cream sauce”. Hehe. Glad it turned out ok but what I’m really proud of is the plating. I like it when the food is presented nicely so I always make sure to do that every time I prepare a meal for us. By the way, it was also my first time to make mashed potatoes for public consumption. I want it creamy so I made sure it will turn out just like that. The husband liked it as much as I did. I guess that’s enough compliment for me. Tomorrow, I have to figure out another way to cook chicken breast. Thank God for online food blogs and recipes. I just hope I have the necessary ingredients in the kitchen. I have stories to tell about my early surprise which I will post tomorrow. For now, I have to continue reading weight loss pills reviews and then off to bed.
Healthy Living
I often complain about how much weight I gained over the past few years. I know exactly why but just doesn’t want to start working on it. For those people who wanted to lose weight, there’s no big secret. We all know that we just have to exercise and eat healthy. Since me and the Husband are both techi-holics, glued to our laptops most of the time, we ‘forget’ those two golden rules. It all comes back though in the morning when we will be weighing ourselves. Hehe. I will have to tell him about freshfunds, – my new discovery. We need to change our diet and get healthy products at the store next time we go grocery shopping. Then, I can earn points and bid on exercise machines at freshfunds.com. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. I think kids will find The Sproutwells video entertaining yet it still teaches them the value of health. Read more
All You Can Eat
I hope we can go to my in-laws this end of November. I’m really looking forward to the Thanksgiving feast. We just talked about the other day what she will be cooking. It made me really hungry. I’m looking forward in eating turkey, stuffing, sweet potato, pies and cheese cake. That will make me forget all about dieting and exercise. Definitely, I will think about being healthy and taking diet supplements again when January comes with the formidable new years resolution.
