A friend once asked me why I am talking about diet pills or the best diet pills, when I am not fat. I said, I simply had/have to. I am not taking any though even if I am overweight for my height (and it is getting more obvious now). I am far from my usual 105- or 107-pound weight. Farther from my 100-pound goal! Argh! So here is my current routine, which I hope would make a difference the next time I step on that weighing scale. For two weeks now, instead of rice, I eat 8 - 10 teaspoon of oatmeal with any dish during meal time, which is, by the way, only once or twice a day. For a week now, me and my SIL have been drinking smoothies for breakfast-- still with uncooked oatmeal (plus a cup of coffee with brown sugar and creamer for me). Mind you, I was once a black-coffee drinker but now I have learned, and now I am used, to having creamer on my coffee. Yeah, I know, black coffee is still better. Hot green tea is still a daily habit and so with nibbling on anything from the pantry or the fridge! *ah-hah! Gotcha!* Well, I just went back to my work-out routine the past three days, we'll see if I'll progress or regress this month of feast and celebration. *hah!* Previous: 110 lbs / Current: 111 lbs For my reference, I'm keeping this list of fruit combos that we should try for our next smoothies. FYI, you can add uncooked oatmeal, yogurt, milk and nuts on some, but not all, of these combos. But you will never go wrong with a spoonful of honey. Carrot + Ginger + Apple - Boost and cleanse our system.
Apple + Cucumber + Celery - Prevent cancer, reduce cholesterol, and eliminate stomach upset and headache. Tomato + Carrot + Apple - Improve skin complexion and eliminate bad breath. Bitter gourd + Apple + Milk - Avoid bad breath and reduce internal body heat. Orange + Ginger + Cucumber - Improve Skin texture and moisture and reduce body heat. Pineapple + Apple + Watermelon - To dispel excess salts, nourishes the bladder and kidney. Apple + Cucumber + Kiwi - To improve skin complexion. Pear + Banana - regulates sugar content. Carrot + Apple + Pear + Mango - Clear body heat, counteracts toxicity, decreased blood pressure and fight oxidization . Honeydew + Grape + Watermelon + Milk - Rich in vitamin C + Vitamin B2 that increase cell activity and strengthen body immunity. Papaya + Pineapple + Milk - Rich in vitamin C, E, Iron. Improve skin complexion and metabolism. Banana + Pineapple + Milk - Rich in vitamin with nutritious and prevent constipation Happy Eating! ![]() |
