Healthy Food -for a break

Cannot let our tummies work too hard all the time. To let the digestive systems take a break, I will usually prepare a variety of fruits & root plants as our dinners for a few days; after having pampered ourselves continuously with too much rich food. For the children, I will include some slices of tuna sandwiches.
Alternatively, I will sometimes dish out this Korean salad. Photobucket
I use the thick transparent vermicelli (boil & run with iced water), capsicum (any colour - short stripe),cherry tomatoes (half), Japanese cucumbers (slice) & yellow soya beansprout (light boil to get rid of the raw taste). Since I grow basil in my garden, I will also add some leaves into my salad (not a must but I find it enhances the flavour of my salad. Mix all the ingredients well with Korean fish sauce (portion according to taste) & sesame oil (sufficient but not too oily). When ready mixed, leave it in the fridge to chill till ready to be served. This goes very well with the fruits.
The main theme of this special diet is to eat lots of fresh fruits & vegetables. Unless need to be boiled, such as sweet potatoes & yellow soya beansprout, if not, the corns can also be eaten fresh without steaming or boiling them. They are presently sweet & crispy when chewed on.

Looking & Feeling Good From Inside Out



That was my 3rd visit at the slimming centre. No, not because I am fat (ha, ha, ha .... at least that's what I think) but because I am having some stubborn fats that refuse to go away even though I have been faithfully going to the gym. So... need the consultant to put me in a programme to help me shed off those stubborn fats.

To my surprise, body detoxification, especially the lymphatic canal is crucial if anyone is looking at a slimming programme package. Of course, along the way, we must also co-operate with the consultant on their meal plan advice. Actually, it's quite a torture telling myself to co-operate with them. Why? Because my hubby & I love good food. We are that sort of fellows who will make it a point to try out any good recommendations that appear in news articles or if recommended by friends.

Don't mistaken, I am not asking for the perfect super model figure. I will be just as contented to be slightly slender, toned up; and looking & feeling healthy from inside out.

Not asking for too much, right?
