EAT OUT

Speaker of the day! She was full of emotions while sharing because she could relate to all of these. We've been warned.

Thankful for every Friday's mini lunch class live from Taiwan! Speaker 灰妈妈 "Grayma" is awesome! She used to be eating out a lot thus causing her overweight issues. Thus sharing her experience and knowledge with us about "How much calories do you know you eat a day when you're outside"! Sorry it is in Mandarin. Oops! :p

This is insane. 

Do you know? For us to have a proper weight management, our daily calories count got to be between 800 to 1200kcal per day! Which means we should only consume 400kcal per meal. 

A bowl of famous Taiwan Oyster Vermicelli 蚵仔面线 is 415kcal. Then for a moment I thought then I could probably choose this as one of my meal choices. BUT NO. Vermicelli itself is mostly carbohydrates and fats. There isn't protein, vitamins and minerals which our body needs! Not taking into consideration the gravy/sauce that we go with the Oyster Vermicelli. The gravy is made with starch! It is one of the causes of larger-sized lower body (butts & thighs). High starch diet could also increase blood sugar fluctuation which would induce hunger and cravings (which means you're gonna eat more!) and risk of diabetes. 

Cranberries are nutritious and has a bunch of health benefits, eg. preventing urinal tract infection! I got affected just months ago, and I could explain it in: It is an infection that you will never want it to happen to you. I cried non-stop because I felt helpless and the pain is @ level insane. However, Cranberries are extremely sour in nature that our tongue and stomach are unable to handle. Thus we'd go for dried cranberries or cranberry juices. The question would be, if it is sour to that extent, how did it turn sweet when we eat/drink them? Sugar. Lots-of-sugar. 

Do you know? The best option to obtain optimal cranberry nutrients and least calories is extracts packed in capsules.

This is my first post after 3 years. Hope you've learnt new things today too!
