Diets: Fab or fad?

10:16 PM

Hello people, today Wensi shall share her dieting tips.

Okay, technically not tips. Cuz I'm not a successful dieter. We all know diets NEVER work. But that doesn't stop us from trying, does it. Under the influence of the great Sonia Mao who lost 2.5kg under this diet programme, I have decided to try it too. (PS: I am fully aware of all the side-effects of this diet. So please don't tell me stuff I already know)

And boy, is it HELL.

The Low-Carb Diet

Ahhh, yes. The famous low-carb diet. Almost like Atkin's diet where you are encouraged to consume less than 10g of carbohydrates per day. But seriously, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

unless you're like a carnivore who doesn't adore fried chicken (with the oh-so-sinful batter).

So, the LOW-carb diet is more practical.

Well basically for the past two days, i have been having incredible breakfasts. I'm not being sarcastic! i genuinely enjoy it!

Day #1 breakfast: Steamed baby corn, cherry tomatoes, steamed octopus balls. (no salad dressing)
Day #2 breakfast: Steamed baby corn, cherry tomatoes, capsicum, CHEESE TOFU.

The cheese tofu seriously made my day. (: Because i can't eat anything that's obviously high in carbohydrates (eg fries, rice, noodles), I have to plan my meals.

Day #1 lunch: Yong Tau Foo without noodles
Day #2 lunch: Soyabean milk from Mr Bean (without syrup)

HORRORS OF HORRORS. you should never ever ever drink soyabean milk without sugar. It tastes salty. =/ i don't know why. And the aftertaste is so horrible, you'll totally lose your appetite. so that's good for you.

Day #1 dinner: SHIHLIN CHICKEN OMGGGGGGG :D:D
Day #2 dinner: lettuce, toasted taiwan sausages, toasted chicken

and yes i convinced myself it was okay to have fried chicken every day. :D since it's all protein. (i blatantly ignore the batter outside. and the oil.)

Anyway I don't know how long this low-carb nonsense is gonna last. probably until i see some results. but i'm gonna eat MACDONALDS tml (minus the fries, change the drink to milk) so that i can have a shot at winning an ipod touch from the monopoly game. will some kind soul who sees this buy me an ipod touch instead? save me from the caloriesssssss! :D

Right now, i'm craving for:

IKEA MEATBALLS!

Potatoes, anyone? (:
