Lost Fit

Are you growing up or growing out? Loss the ability to fit into all the beautiful you have bought through the years?

Many people and websites will introduce you to 'Low Carbo diet' or even the 'Anti Carbo diet' which was said to help low weight, without really knowing the reason why! Some people may even introduce you to the 'Meat and Vegetables diet', 'No salt diet' or 'Eating less than 3 meals a day'! Yes they may provide you with temporary solutions that make you loss 'weigh' and 'water', which will cause your body to suffer later. This is why very often, these diets will have an after effect of weigh re-bounce or even becoming heavier!

If you are looking for ways to fit into those dresses and jeans again, you need to first understand your body and the digestive system! The very obvious thing you should do is to EXERCISE! However, knowing the busy-ness of life, to some people, eating right is the best you can do. So let us go through our digestive process together:
Mouth
Fats --> one molecule of fats will result into 3 fatty acid molecule and one molecule of glycerol, that can only be adsorbed at small intestine
Starch (Carbohydrate) --> simple suger, glucose and maltose, that can only be adsorbed at small intestine
Stomach
Protein, vitamin B-12, alcohol and smaller molecules --> breakdown and adsorbed at the stomach
Small intestine
Fats, nutrients and sugar --> breakdown and adsorbed at small intestine
Large intestine
Water, fiber and fluid --> adsorbed or passed out at large intestine

Our body adsorbs protein and things of smaller molecules before the absorption of fats and carbohydrate. Carbohydrate are broken down into sugar molecules while fats molecules are broken down into 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 molecule of glycerol. This means that, to have high intake of fats and carbohydrates will slow down our digestion in the stomach because it adds on to the workload of our stomach and will take a longer time to fully digest our food. Carbohydrates can also result in high sugar level in blood leading to diabetes. However, your focus should not be just cutting down on carbohydrates because it provides us with the energy we need. Instead we should be looking into food that are high in protein and fiber to help increase our digestion and give our stomach a light workload!

All that i ATE!

This restaurant is black listed by me! Hahahaha! Food is expensive and service is BAD! the people really couldn't be bothered to serve you and they are not very honest. We ordered the smallest portion but i am quite sure it is not. because how can the smallest portion cost us more than S$20 for a plate of roasted pork and the BBQ pork. Total we spent nearly S$40 and they did not want to give us the receipt breakdown of the price. Disappointing for a high class restaurant like them. For the terrible service and the ok food, i will rate is a 2 star. But for the bad service, i might never wanna go back there for food.

This is a cafe at Sheung Wan. Food is not bad. A simple place. The breakfast set is really worth it. It's almost breakfast 'cum' lunch for us. Spent less than S$10 for all that's below. i will rate it a 3 star.

This is located at Tsim Sha Tsui, along the main road at level 10. A quite new restaurant that just started operation for 2 months. Not very expensive, quite nice food. Can get a 3.5 star. The peanut with seaweed side dish given at the beginning will be charged. You can tell them you don't want it but it's worth trying because it's really nice. Total we spent around S$20 for the 2 of us.

This is a "Dian Zhi Mian" store in Prince Edward Road that we entered, hoping to fill our stomach. The food turns out to be quite bad. DO NOT order the pig knuckles there because it is not what you did be expecting. Below is the photo of the pig knuckles we got, it is really a pig leg and you can see the feet. Vegetable is so-so only, no taste and not fresh. i will rate it 1.5 star only. Spent around S$12 on these.

MUST TRY! i would give this store a 5 star! This is a "Mian" store located at Sheung Wan. Take the Exit B and you will see a Circle K Supermart across the street. This store is located right beside the Circle K mart. The Ramen is so nice we went back the 2nd time. The meat are very very well marinated and this is like that real Hong Kong food! Spent only S$17 on these.

Very nice desert store at Shim Tsui Po. It's a very very small shop that you might have just passed it by if you do not give attention to it enough. Deserts are really nice, very good attitude services. There's the hot healthy kind and also the cooling favored snow with their interesting toppings. i will give it a 4 star! Spent S$10 on these.

This is our last stop at the airport before checking in, at the level 3 of Airport Terminal 1 in Hong Kong. i will give it a overall 3 star. Prices are ok, food is not too bad. Soya sauce chicken, 3rd picture below taste good.
