#-5kg

Oui, cela m’a l’air d’un bon programme, tout à fait faisable. Ça arrive souvent qu’on prenne quelques kilos quand on est jeune adulte. Le fait de devoir faire les courses et cuisiner, puis parfois le premier job où on passe beaucoup de temps assis… On brule aussi moins de calories qu’à 18 ans, et on peut moins se permettre d’excès sucrés comme avant. Et puis c’est aussi une question de retrouver ton équilibre après cette rupture, je suis sure que tu y arriveras.

'dieting', such a dirty word for a foodie like me.  I love cooking and I love eating but I am also health and weight conscious.  And after many years of going round in round in circles I've finally realised: the only way to really lose weight is cutting back on how much you eat. Hey no harms done, we all knew we eat more than what we need in day-to-day basis.  I am not saying exercise doesnt work but the reality is one yummy donut requires 50 mins of good aerobic exercise to burn it off.  so at the end of the day, if you want to loss weight, the most simple method: cut back what you eat.

For me the hardest thing was saying good buy to chocolate lollies cookies and chips.  Not completely cut out but trying best to say no (I still get craving, awful).  Also simple carbs: no rice, no pasta, no white bread.  I also started using natural ingredients in cooking and exploring a whole lot of new ingredients.  I love it!  The easy part: I love veggie, legume, diary, fish and chicken.  majority of these falls under the healthy categories given they are prepared properly.  I also adopted great interest in making good breakfast before work and good lunch to bring to work.  It sounds like a lot of commitment and effort but not for a morning person like me.  These food usually require minimal or no cooking skills.  Sometimes I feel like I am not really cooking but just putting all the good ingredients together.  Here's what I had for breakkie today.

soft boiled egg, low fat cottage cheese, asparagus served with cherry tomato and anchovies.

I soft boiled the egg because I have absolutely no idea how to poach :D.  Asparagus is such a versatile veggie can be use for any meal of the day.  All I did here was chopped off the woody bit then cut them in half and microwaved covered for 3 minutes!.  I used low cottage cheese or low fat ricotta mostly these days.  These two are probably the lowest calorie containing cheese.  Well the anchovies, I have a thing about food with strong pungent odour (except blue cheese, that's just moldy): Shrimp paste, chinese salted fish, anchovies... that's just few of the things I love.

The whole meal took such a short time to put together.  the tip is to prep the asparagus the night before.  In the morning before i head into the bathroom I will put the asparagus into microwave and boil the egg.  By the way I am out then just scoop everything onto the plate and ta-daaa.
