After three weeks of searching, I finally found one of the most elusive vegetables ever…RED BEETS!!! Okay, exag, I’m sure, but for some reason, I’ve been having a hard time finding them. Sometimes when I ask in the grocery they have no idea what I’m talking about. Yesterday, however, on a random grocery run, I [...]

A few weeks ago, after a yoga workshop, my friends and I swung by the organic market at Legaspi village and though I am not (or at least I was not!) a big fan of green smoothies, I went along and ordered a big bottle of green juice from RAWlicious. Since it was my first [...]

A week or so ago, a friend of mine from yoga sent me a message about Juju cleanse. I gave the Juju cleanse site a look and I must admit, I am curious about going on a little juice detox.  However, the cheapskate in me strikes again. Let me put it in context: while I [...]

When I first started this blog, I wrote about the wheatgrass drink that I had tried.  I must admit I wasn’t super sold on the flavor of it, but the health benefits are supposedly very good so I have recently been trying to introduce it back to my diet. Ideally it would be nice to [...]

Now this seems to be a complete antithesis for me…especially since I keep hearing that if you would like to lose weight, you should avoid eating at bedtime, right? However, if sleep is always elusive (which very often is for me) I’d be willing to give it a shot. After all, even the best sleep [...]

Last week I ran into an old colleague of mine who jokingly quipped…”what are you on?!?” in reference to my weight loss. He kiddingly said if I was on any substance, maybe  I could share. We had a good laugh about it and I just said I really am working very hard at this weight [...]

On a recent grocery trip, I came across this new juice drink, Smart C+ Pomelo Grapefruit Juice Drink. While I recognize juice drinks can actually be full of sugar and actually be somewhat fattening because of it, I decided to still give this a try. Compared to other juice drinks, the nutritional stats showed lower [...]

A few days ago I found a new item on the grocery shelf: Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt + Jelly. It looked like an interesting new find, so I didn’t hesitate grabbing one of each flavor. The new yogurt variant comes in strawberry and buco pandan. Each cup contains about 2/3 yogurt and a third of [...]

In these past few days I’ve been trying to make ammends with an old foe…Mr. Quaker As in Quaker Oats. photo credit:  “Overnight Oatmeal” by  the bitten word, c/o Flickr. Some Rights Reserved *sigh* Oatmeal is really one of the most unappealing and unpleasurable foods I have ever met. I guess that’s just a personal [...]

Over the past few weeks, I have been battling my intense burger cravings. I don’t often like burgers, but when I crave for it, it stays for long periods of time. But since I’m really trying to make a dent in my weight loss, I’ve been trying hard to quell these cravings. As such, I [...]
