I don't know, it's so similar to mayo, and it looks like butter.

Easy. The guy needs to change to Nutella instead. Everybody know Nutella is the awesomest spread in the entire world. DUmbass....

LOL! nutella and mayo.

That picture was taken in a Medieval Restaurant in Germany. Tables had benches and all made of wood. Plates were the chopping boards with a wooden spoon and wooden knife for eating.

The bread is rye bread and is very healthy - pumped full of complex carbo but very thick and heavy.

And that bowl with the white stuff is actually lard i.e. pig fat.

I only know how to taste the food, without knowing the ingredient inside.

Dinner!



Bland Chicken : chicken + curry powder + salt + butter + olive oil

Veg : steam brocco n carrots

That Green Thingy : blended wheatgrass, celery and spinach



ok i'm kidding abt the last one - it's actually green apple juice with pulp (and salt) in a pasta sauce bottle. i learned that trick from Williams

myremi,
low blood is actually more dangerous due to lack of medication to counter it

Ouchie about the low blood pressure thingie. Well, I guess whatever I can't take, you can. LOL! Here's some salt sources :
-Fish sauce has more salt than soy sauce
-Soy sauce >.> Local brands I suspect have more
-Fishballs
-Buy bread from outside. They have a lot of salt in them.
-Seafood?
-Salted fish?
-Tin food

Hmm...one site suggested Epsom salt baths for 10-15 min.

use big wooden senduk for scoping the mayonaise in a non-controlled manner.....

olive oil = I was told we need good fat to kick out the bad fat.......is that right?

Family dinner with my relative from Sabah.
Curry Fish head + sour rip pork + pineapple +belacan long bean ( the thinner species) + aluminum foiled chicken.

I am only taking curry and the pork most of the time since i dont really like the bean and totally hate that chicken.

@Syd G
very nice meal, i like the color xD

Lark is abused (Read:abused) in most chinese hawker stall in KL, once i order a Hokkien Mee, picking up so much "peanuts" (fried lark cube) on it, make me feel like vomiting..

BTW on the pepper, i can only accept trace amount of pepper, when i order outside i always remind them not to put pepper at all. My sister not that hardcore since she know i dont like it but she still put it anyway.

Eating Late At Night Is Bad: Myth

hmm.. should i eat now? 3.32am lolx

It was a LONG debunked myth lah. However, eating breakfast, definitely a good idea especially for those that wanna lose weight. Kickstarts metabolism.

get into work
dun stay at home n wait
move my fren

Hmm...that acaloriecounter website ah... It's either the author writes for BB.com or he piagiarises from BB.com .

add on to pizzaboy....breakfast, we must eat like king.....but make sure one choose healthy food...more complex carb, protein and fibre stuff.....plus milk (lowfat)

lunch eat likeprince....and dinner eat like hamba......

anyway, fat loss or weight loss is about calory deficit.......eating supper has no bearing on it. But one choose to skip breakie and lunch, but hantam kaukau for dinner and supper, then it aint do any good.

Well, nearly correct.

Not only watch your calories, make sure it's low GI/GL food so that your blood sugar doesn't spike so often. Apparently, if there's too much insulin in the body (because of the high blood sugar), there's not enough glucogen hormone produced (it breaks down fat).

There are cases where ppl are watching calories and still putting on weight. Trick is low GI/GL food i.e. watch your carbo intake.

wiki-san: Do you have a handy list of low GI food? Please PM me......I am running out of idea....hehhe

c&p from wikipedia (not wiki-san xD)

Low GI 55 or less
most fruit and vegetables (except potatoes, watermelon), grainy breads, pasta, legumes/pulses, milk, products extremely low in carbohydrates (fish, eggs, meat, nuts, oils), brown rice

Medium GI 56 - 69
whole wheat products, basmati rice, orange, sweet potato, table sugar, most white rices (eg, jasmine),

High GI 70 and above
corn flakes, baked potato, watermelon, croissant, white bread, extruded cereals (eg, Rice Krispies), straight glucose (100)

sauce here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index

wiki-san, you studied as chemical engineer? what are you working for now? oil and gas industry?

Urgh, not feeling too good today. Cough came back but surprisingly, the body isn't as tired as it used to be. So supplements does work as well as exercise and healthy eating.

One thing about low GI, medium GI and high GI is that you notice the actual values are very close to one another. And a food that has a low GI of 5 is differnt from a low GI of 50.

Low GI diets aren't an exact science (according to this UK book I pick up at the bookstore. "The GI Counter" by Dr. Mabel Blades. And this was a little red book that didn't have the GI for corn, bah). Fat is 0 on GI scale. So is protein. So have to watch out.

The low GI foods is to make sure that you're able to control your cravings. Because watching calories doesn't do it. Watching your blood sugar does.

For protein intake, the thing to watch out for is whether a person has an existing kidney problem. The kidney isn't like the liver which can regenerate itself. That's why I do say that it's important to have a blood test regularly to check if liver and kidneys are functioning ok. It's not the end of the world having a kidney problem, it just means that you have to be extremely careful on what you eat and what your exercise regime is like.

When I first got diagnosed with high BP, I went around hunting for various diet plans by medical establishments e.g. American Heart Assosiation, Mayo Clinic, etc. And did some comparisions. Most of them are the same diet plans so it seemed ok to eat a lot of fresh food, rather than processed food. The most difficult diet out of all those medical diet plans is the low-sodium one. Seriously, salt is the hardest thing to give up completely.

Another option is meal replacement products. I'm actually ok with them and believe that they do work. 2 things I'm not happy with though :

1-some companies aren't honest with what they put into those meal supplement plans. You also need to have a strong understanding of nutritional requirements when taking them so as not to go overboard and get your body into toxic shock from vitamins and minerals.

2-The meal supplement products are not cheap. If in the US or UK, sure, they are cheap but when they come to this part of the world, it gets automatically converted to ringgit and costs too much. That's what I seriously don't like about companies selling meal supplements. My health shouldn't come at a cost.

Hmmm... one thing though guys. Please do take what I say with a pinch of salt. Information about diets and nutrition changes rapidly so what we know today may be very different 2 years down the road.

Added on April 12, 2009, 8:29 pmI think back in 83, I saw the MacGyver series for the first time (living in Miri, watching Brunei channels was the in-thing because we could always watch the latest sitcoms with no adverts) and thought, it's cool to grow up like him. Sadly, form 4 Physics was a pain so switch to Chemistry. And yeah, did Chemical Engineering coz it was cool to work in factories rather than in a boring lab. I have this thing about being bored, maybe too geeky.

I'm working in a semiconductor industry, not oil and gas. Wasn't too smart to get in. But some things that I learnt in Engineering does help to understand scientific text. My parents are always telling me to cool down and stop being too analytical.

And if you're wondering if I have a Swiss Army Penknife, yes, I have my Dad's one when I left for college and university ages ago. I don't carry it everywhere lah. But it is somewhere in the drawers.

Added on April 12, 2009, 9:49 pmOK, putting a weight counter thing. If that little flower moves left, I get the feeling that a few of you may just whack me for it. >.>
