Xiaozzhen SG I don't know about detox, but I also take a mix of organic food with regular food. Mainly because organic is expensive now and to go organic means earning lots of $$$$. I hope one day my family and I can go organic because organic means natural and no pesticides. And please read my blog before commenting. Low Carb, Low Fat, High Fibre, High Protein is not Atkins. Atkins = High Protein, No Carb, Little Fibre and High Natural Fats. I recommend lots of vegetables and some complex carbohydrates like mulit grain bread, brown rice and whole wheat pasta. Eat protein with fats trimmed. Please also enjoy low fat yoghurt and some yummy dark chocolates. Sounds like Atkins??? I think not. I have shown improved health in lowering my cholestrol and triglycerides, BMI (yes Asia BMI) and blood pressure. It's all there in my blog. http://lowcarblowfathighfibrehighprotein.blogspot.com
the Bear SG when you say "low carb" a lot of people will just take it out... complex carbs are very important for energy... in fact, i'd say should eat a little bit more than "low" amounts... the other stuff can't give you the sustained energy of complex carbs... and when energy levels drop, activity drops, and so does metabolic rate...
Xiaozzhen SG Oh, pics are definitely in the plan... Watch out in my blog in a couple of weeks. You may even get a before and after picture of my whole family. XiaoZhen lowcarblowfathighfibrehighprotein.blogspot.com
the Bear SG hey.. stay healthy yah? i'm just dropping in because throughout the years, there have been a lot of people with quack diets, and basically they're here to sell their diet plans and diet pills... i think your "diet" has been the most sensible of them all.. and hey! it's actually common sense once you know about nutrition... again, stay healthy
elindra SG 1 thing I need to point out is that the word 'organic' can be misleading A food may be 'organic' but that doesn't mean that it is Non-GMO (Non-Genectically Modified) Alot of GMO foods can be grown organically easily because they are resistent to the pests that attack them. Just food for thought.
Xiaozzhen SG Do you know that vegetables are also carbohydrates and fibre with lots of vitamins and minerals. Some vegetables like potato ia mainly carbohydrates while the leafy ones and celery is very low carb, high fibre. I take the GI factor into consideration too. I try to eat low GI food which increases my metabolic rate and allows me to walk (long walks) every morning without feeling fatigue. My vegetables and low fat protein give me plenty of energy and good health. This is nothing new. Many people who have high metabolic rate eat a lot but don't gain weight. Why? Because they are eating the right type of food for their lifestyle. XiaoZhen p/s; How do you think I should rename my blog without people mistaking it as Atkins? http://lowcarblowfathighfibrehighprotein.blogspot.com
Xiaozzhen SG Not boring at all. Like BBQ food? (altho the carbon is absolutely unhealthy!) Or oven baked chicken, with skin on of course! Or Ginseng boiled chicken? Look at my recipes for some of the food I eat. Absolutely delicious. Go to my "eating out" to see what I eat when I am out. I hope my blog will take shape as it goes along as I am learning how to blog. I promise to make it look interesting to the eye. XiaoZhen http:lowcarblowfathighfibrehighprotein.blogspot.com
