Since I started dieting, I have seen a steady decrease in my weight. However, for the past three weeks, it’s been quite, um, minimal to say the least. I realized that while I want to see the numbers keep going down, I shouldn’t complain. For one, I do admit I am not so rigid with [...]

Today, just for kicks, I decided to try on my old pair of jeans. And wouldn’t you know….it fit! Woot! I haven’t worn jeans in like, forever, mainly because when you get to be my size, it kinda gets embarrassing to even try on jeans in a store, much less find one that fits. Another [...]

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 [...]

Over the past few months, my blogger friends talked a lot about one of their new favorite drink places, Serenitea. I would read their raves and their cravings for it but because the only branch I was aware of back then was all the way in San Juan (a good 30-45 minutes away from my [...]

I think I have identified one of the major culprits in weight gain: fast food. I know, I know, it doesn’t take a genius to know that eating in a fast food joint where food is filled with all sorts of trans fat and deep fried. However, even the “healthy” stuff can actually be fattening. [...]

I am a big fan of cream. Full cream, full fat cream, all-purpose cream…I love it. Be it as my carbonara base or with fruits in season, cream just makes the dish so much better. But while it tastes delicious, it is terrible for my waistline. Plus if I’m not mistaken, cream is bad for [...]

One of the things I have decided to do to help me along my weight loss journey is to go green. No, not environmental green, but food green! I don’t think I can go full-on vegetarian but I will try limiting my red meat and pork intake to up to 5 times per week only. [...]
