Kare-Kare
My first ever Kare-Kare! It’s been a while since I am planning to cook this dish so I decided to try my luck last month. In fairness, it tasted so good but guess what….this is one of the reason why I had to go on fruit and veggies diet for more than a week. I suppose the peanut butter in this Kare-Kare triggered abdominal spasm so I had no choice but to abstain from eating rice and meat a day after we had this in our table.

Fruit and veggie diet
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.
