This was the question randomly thrown at me this morning before we practiced YOGA.
Almost instantaneously, I answered: “Diet does not exist in my dictionary. I don’t patronize any. I eat anything and everything, anytime I want.”
We proceeded with YOGA so I did not have time to explain what I really meant.
Let me qualify what I said.
Yes, I do eat anything and everything, anytime I want BUT I practice portion control—except when I am celebrating someone’s birthday in an Eat-All-You-Can Buffet. Unlimited Lunches or Dinners are usually scheduled in advance so I purposely fast the day BEFORE and the day AFTER I binge on my favorite food/desserts.
My typical day looks like this:
I take Herbalife 24 with oats and banana after my morning run. On days that I don’t run because of the rain, I only eat when I’m hungry. I take papaya, a cup of oats, boiled egg, and dark chocolate drink. At other times, scrambled egg with spinach and tomatoes on toast.
My lunch consists of fish,1-2 spoons of rice, 1 slice mango. If pork or beef is served for lunch, I wrap it in lettuce with kimchi. My dessert is sweet sampaloc/dark chocolate/peanuts and Coke Zero. Take note that some days, I take sweet sampaloc and dark chocolate and peanuts and Coke Zero all at the same time after lunch.
When I’m home, my snacks become my early dinner. It consists of pandesal with kesong puti and spanish sardines and fresh carabao milk.The number of pandesal depends on how hungry I am. But usually 1-3 pcs.
At 12 midnight, my son Gio takes his lunchbreak (US based) and we watch The Golden Girls together. I normally don’t eat with him but when I do, I take a cup of trail mix with milk.
I am 67 years old with vital statistics of 37-29-38 weighing 120 lbs on good days and 122 lbs on bad days. I already quit aiming for 115 lbs. but still dreaming to lose 1-2 inches off my waistline heheheh . . . Instead of killing yourself for a Barbie-like figure, focus on gaining strength, wellness, and endurance. Your world will be more enjoyable!
