Careful with that kind of phrase. The way the Emperor of China ate, is not necessarily the tasty food we're taking now. His fare tended to be extremely healthy i.e. similar to the way of Taoism eating or something like the Macrobiotics way of eating. Yes, still have meat fried, grilled and all but he also went to the other extreme lah.

Eat like beggar = you want malnutrition ah.

I'm literally "playing" with my food these days.

Cooking can be easy. I got charge-n-go to do more cooking.

Ooppss..and I think I was suppose to eat cold meals for a week, to show what can be done at home without a stove. Lupak. When I come back, will try.

I try to do some videos next time. Of some simple basics that I do. What you have at the place that you have? Or what cooking utensils, if any?

Just post, I'd say. No harm lah getting in on the motivation wagon.

I got it out of a roasting book. It's suppose to be a mushroom roast.



If you follow the recipe exactly, it's 715 calorie per slice. I change some of the ingredients :

-1 teaspoon olive oil to stir-fry the veggie
-mushrooms, i use the Enoki type.
-brazil nuts, i swapped with normal peanuts.
-used low-fat cheddar
-didn't put in any parmesan
-used 2 slices of wholemeal bread

With the changes above, the calorie per slice got half to about 485 calorie each, according to calorie counter on NuritionData.com .

I know. Next time round, putting in more veggie and less cheese. Or swap it out completely to yogurt cheese instead which has lowest calorie count an dhalf the portion.

Nasi Lemak may be more. It's the sambal that is lethal.

Okie dokie. I think you can substitute the cheese with chopped broccoli and cauliflower. Just cook them before hand. Or put in more mushroom.

As for the nuts, you can change them or remove them. I think they are contributing a lot to the calories, other than the cheese. I put in cashew nuts so that it beecomes more flavourful but I used unsalted ones.

One thing though, you may need to mix all the ingredients in a very big mixing bowl (I was using a 20-25 cm diameter one) or a very big pot. Then, when I stuff everything into the 1 lb loaf tin, it only filled up about half. Haha!

Disciple : You are a brave soul to try it out after everyone said that it's a calorie bomb. Haha!

Gr3yL3gion81 : No workout but still jaga makan. Or streeeeeeeeeeeettttccchiiiiinnnngggggggg....

synchun : U need a body fat counter. U can either do it by measurement or use an equipment to do it.

Well, have fun folks. Flying off tomorrow to KL and then on Sunday to UK. Back on 16 May so be good guys and stay strong!

Notti gal!

TBH, I couldn't remember whether you're a guy or gal, Sky.Live.

And I'm seriously considering cheating with DimSum. Where to get good ones in Bangsar?

Nice one zeist!

Hi folks!

Hmm...I think I fail to meet my goal being in UK.

However, have got a nice party dress to slim into! Can get into it. Just need to slim down more to make it loose! LOL!

UK is fun. Some nice cheap shops. Eating is a bit tough. So eating at home for dinner and breakfast very healthy.

Tomorrow : UGG BOOTS!

Grats Clarkfann!

Hmm...one thing I'm deciding to do after this trip is go sign up to the gym. After speaking to my cousin about it, it seemed to be the only way to get regular exercise and get some help with problem areas.

Last week was in Plymouth. Arrive in Leeds on Friday. Heading out tomorrow to London. Then flying back home on Friday.


Weekend dinners were very healthy options. So was breakfast. Lunch was pub meals. >.>

Dinner tonite at 9:30 pm since we had a late lunch due to shopping.

So, brown rice and stir-fried veggie which includes tender stem broccoli, sugar snaps, baby spinach. The fish is poached with garlic, ginger, lemon grass, red pepper, tomato. Fish is rainbow trout. We a dash of pepper, a teaspoon of Lea and Perrins sauce. Then put on top fresh dill for garnishing and taste.

redninja : the weigh-in was proposed but some of us did weigh in anyway, not only clarkfann.

i weighed in after 2 weeks as felt that something is wrong and sure enough, there was. haven't weighed in since then.

clarkfann originally said that she didn't want to join but tengster pujuk-pujuk.

it was a nice experiment though about the weigh-in and not weigh-in. I think in future, I'm just going to weigh-in because I'm that type of person who wants to check. For others, if they don't want to weigh in so early, that's fine.

Although, one thing about this 30 day exercise, we seem to "potong steam" during the last week. So much cheating. OK, get back on track folks.

Went for a nice 45 min walk to a nearby English village which was slightly uphill. Then walk back another 45 min after lunch.

I agree with Syd G about the 200 days of controlling as well as the weekly weigh-in. That weigh-in will help to put us back on track, not 3x day weigh-in.

I'm enjoying time with my cousins in UK and getting a lot of reminders about health tips.

The one in Leeds : just go to the gym. She went and complained like here. "F, F, F, you sadist. How can people do this. blah blah blah". Then again, she also asked for the meanest , baddest PT in that gym so that he would call her and scold her for not showing up.

The other cousin in London : Just walk. So have been walking and walking and walking. Heading into London today for some more walking.

Will chat with you guys later on once I'm back at night.

Damn, forgot about the calipers. Need to hunt for one here now.

tengster : I didn't join a gym lah. I just chit chat with cousins about it.

I'm going to rethink my goals a bit as well as the monitoring process.

The 30-day challenge had me do a rethink about it. Bleargh. Will think about it tomorrow during flight journey back.
