Hubby’s Cook

Archive for October, 2009

For more than a week I’ve been to a fruit and veggie diet. Just by thinking of eating only fruits and veggies, I can’t convince myself that I would survive even for a day. But due to some stomach issues, I tried that diet that I’ve been hearing from my former boss and have been reading from health blogs. I had fruits for breakfast, fruits or corn for lunch then veggies for dinner. With that kind of diet, I noticed I don’t feel hungry most of the time compared to when I am eating regular meals composed of rice and meat or fish. It also helped my body detoxify.

With the health benefits of proper and maintained fruit and veggie diet in a person’s lifetime, I think one won’t need a very comprehensive and expensive health insurance or even just an  affordable health insurance to cover one’s needs should he or she will get sick because people who maintains a healthy lifestyle has low risk of getting sick. Maintaining that fruit and veggie diet is now a challenge. It’s quite expensive but worth the penny.

A Mango Smoothie Ace had during our lunch with my cousin and her BF in one of the restos in Mahayahay (a line of restos) fronting the seas of Dumaguete City.

Last week I tried cooking Kare-Kare for the first time. After the sumptuous dinner of Pork pata Kare-Kare and leche flan (which I also cooked), I had stomach spasms the following morning and a mild LBM. I searched online for the cause of stomach spasm and Mr. G told me there are rotten food particles in my stomach and intestinal walls being eaten by bacteria. Initial symptom of stomach spasm is bloating which I was experiencing days before the actual spasm. The moment they multiply, it’s the time that I am feeling that stomach pain. That stomach problem is triggered by eating peanuts and peanut products and dairy products. So that explains the stomach pains I felt after eating Kare-Kare and leche flan. I need to flush out those food particles trapped in my intestinal walls hence I am having high in fiber diet now – lots of fruits and veggies with no meat. I’ll try to keep that diet for a week or two until my stomach has fully recovered. With this diet, I think I won’t need a weight loss pill for I will surely lose some unwanted flabs because of “no meat” diet. Wanna join me in my diet? I must say I am loving it! I felt so light and not bloated.
