Me In My Kitchen

Rib eye steak, 3-egg omelette & pan-fried prawns, all seasoned with salt and cooked and topped with butter.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Takot ka ba sa TABA ng karne?

If you believe in “everything in moderation”, then expect only “moderate health”.

Cholesterol is like the fireman at the burning building and we blame the fireman for being there?!?

We were all led to believe that vegetables are healthy and so when we hear of something that has the word vegetable in it, we automatically assume that it is healthy when it isn’t! ☝🏼

Eating whole food may sound really like a good idea but we all need to know that NOT all whole food are created equal! ☝🏼

Cottage Cheese “Ube - Langka” Ice Lolly

(cottage cheese, heavy cream, ube flavour, langka essence, sweetener)

Lechon, liempo, crispy pata, etc… People call them “PUTOK BATOK.

Completely wrong and a big misinformation. ☝🏼

I always see and hear people ask… “OK BA ANG LOW CARB SA MAY # # (SAKIT)?”
If not low carb, what do you think is good for your health, then?

Instead of steering us in the right direction and advancing our health, this is where and what they want people to go and do. If this continues on, people are going to remain FAT and SICK!

Air-fried Pork Belly Bites ❤️

If you can’t lose weight…

Don’t blame your genes. Don’t blame your age.
It’s your DIET! ☝🏼

Who, here, has prediabetes/type 2 diabetes?
Root cause? Poor diet! ☝🏼
So you have a choice to prevent or reverse it.

“Calories in, Calories Out” is just pure NONSENSE!

Calories are the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water around a “closed” thermodynamic system called a bomb calorimeter by 1 degree C. It’s a measurement of kinetic activity or the movement of the molecules within that water, that movements being caused by photons of a certain wavelength interacting with the surrounding water after being released from the rapid combustion of a food item inside the said bomb calorimeter via a massive electrical current which causes rotations, vibrations and translations. That is all they are. Therefore, we say on an informal basis, that calories are units of heat energy. “Informal” because actually, energy cannot be measured. The purest form of energy cannot be directly measured.

The human body does not absorb energy and is NOT a bomb calorimeter. The body absorbs mass! The mass of the food we eat is what our body converts to body mass, NOT calories, because if we could absorb calories (energy) and photons, then we should get fat or gain weight from sitting under the sun too long.

So those who still think that what you’re doing is real calorie deficit? Think again. Because we can’t be in a calorie deficit unless we are in a hypothermic event, i.e., our body is losing more heat to the environment that it is actually generating.

So just stop the “calories in, calories out” (CICO) thing. It’s just pure NONSENSE!

Lifestyle care can be more powerful than medication care!
☝🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Who here thinks that you’re missing out on vitamins and minerals if you don’t eat veggies and fruits?

Are you fat and overweight?
Do you know why?

A lot of us are just complaining about being overweight and not losing weight. The question really is, are you doing something about it because if not, then you know why.

Any intake of exogenous (dietary) carbs is already excess!☝🏼

Filipino-style spaghetti is an all-time and childhood fave and surely a lot of Filipinos can relate. Luckily, I am able to make my own low carb spaghetti noodles that look and feel and taste like the real one so am still able to enjoy this dish whenever I want. Didn’t have Pinoy style hotdogs, though, and I added some mushrooms (which is typically not used in Pinoy-style spaghetti) just because I have some in the fridge.

Feeling extra today so am having low carb sushi bake + my milk and water kefirs for “breakfast”! 🥰

Low carb rice (used my low carb spaghetti noodle recipe and just chopped it to rice-like bits and pieces. Recipe here 👉🏼 https://www.instagram.com/tv/CayS2v9qqVY/?igsh=a3czMHVodGRrdDUy)
Psyllium husk (just to give my rice that sticky-rice feel)
Chopped prawns
Chopped cucumber
Choppes strawberries (just wanted something sour/tart/sweet that is low sugar instead of mango. Turned out good!)
Homemade furikake (crushed dried seaweeds, black pepper, salt and allulose)
Kefir cheese (you may use cream cheese)

Mixed cheeses for toppings (gouda, parmesan, pecorino)

Processed, unproccessed, simple, complex sugars/grains/carbs. They’re all the same! They all break down to the same thing metabolically… GLUCOSE!☝🏼

Actually, anything that has any more than zero carb is probably not something that should go in a human’s mouth… Dietary carbs is non-essential! ☝🏼
