Dieting for Photography

Wholemeal Spaghetti with Eggs

For the past 7 days I've been on a high protein low carb diet. 3 more days to go and carb load on the last day before the shoot. It's pretty much experimental on how my body works towards dieting. the last time i did for Hottest Hunks in Malaysia 09, i shrunk bt i was ripped to bits... lol.. so this time, il ripped and maintain my size before i start the next program to build more mass. It's not recommended for everyone to go this strict all of the sudden. 1st you will experience psychological depression as I totally cut out all my simple carbs and comfort food. then you will have to fight your cravings which will further increase your depression.. lol

Don't rush diet as nothing rushed will sustain. work your diet slowly so you will gain momentum and prolonged your healthy lifestyle. furthermore, rushing it will only hurt your body more and you are forcing your body to make drastic changes in a short period of time. take it one step at a time and you will see fruitful result.

Egg-ing your way to health

There have been different speculation regarding the nutrition of eggs.. we have the ones who can never live without the eggs for their daily source of HIGH PROTEIN and LOW CARBS  to fuel the metabolism to feed muscle and burn fats. And there is another school who believes that Eggs are BAD source of CHOLESTEROL which is bad for the health. Now who is right and who is wrong?

Pasta Omlet

well, it looks more like a pizza but well... what did i say in my last post... :P anyways... this dish sounds dodgy but it taste not too bad ... better than its name of course... lol anyways, as always, i try to make my meals as Protein Packed as possible and Eggs and pasta is packed with Protein... i avoided using the york but added mustard which has zero carbs, fats... cept for the small amount of sodium... here's how its done

1 whole egg
1 handful raisins
1 squeeze Mustard :P
1/2 green pepper
50g pasta

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the black pepper and dried chili into the mixture.

Pour the mixture onto the hot wok and spread the egg till flat.
Pour the pasta onto the egg spread along with the green pepper and raisins
Let the egg mixture dry
Place the omlet on a plate and squeeze mustard on it.

Nasi Lemak@ Jalan 21/11B, Petaling Jaya

Well, If you don't know where it is... Its just behind your backyard... seriously... the hawker stall is like spread across this whole stretch of road in front of a coffee shop (Kopitiam) .. the tables and chairs are placed by the parking lots.. and hell yeah, there are lots of people there regardless of the hygienic issues... but anyways, In Malaysia, if its not dirty, its not good... :P anyways... just the other day, my friend, Esther told me bout a place where they serve nice nasi Lemak (Coconut milk rice) at Sea Park... oh, for your info, I didn't know that place is called sea park till she told me... lol... if you are using the Train.. stop at "Taman Paramount" how to get there? well, just follow your nose or..... or...... find the only "SHELL" petrol station there... its just behind... when I say SHELL... I literally mean, SHELL... not "Petronas" "Esso" n etc ok... "SHELL" is "SHELL"..... or... another general knowledge.... Motorbikes are refered to as "HONDA" in Indonesia.... If they tell you they ride HONDA... it means they ride a bike... it can be a Kawasaki HONDA, Honda HONDA, Suzuki HONDA... n etc.....

anyways..... back to FOOD.... so I ordered a place or Nasi Lemak Biasa (Normal) and gosh.. eventhough the crowd is massive... it took them 3-5 minutes to bring over my Food and Tea Tarik. impressive.. As always, I took a snap before I consume it... 1st was the Sunny side up... gosh.. look at that, its still in perfect form and the york is just the well done enough for you to suck up the juice... hahaha..... then the rice is well cooked and marinated with the coconut milk... not too sloogish... the aroma is fabulous... then I tried the peanuts and anchovies..... hmmm... its still very crispy and crunchy.. the way its suppose to be... and lastly... the Sambal... the most important part of any Nasi Lemak..... The Sambal is tasty and aromatic.. not too strong (so ladies, you can eat and still kiss your boys after the sambal) its not spicy .. but I guess not every1 can take hot stuff like I do.... lol... anyways...... just as I was about to finish up.. I finally saw the Cucumber hidden beneath... and its still crunchy... lol

so overall... I would say.... 4* :) worth coming even from Klang... lol...
